Welcome back to Rebuilding Trust With Your Body. In this episode, Katy dives into the hardest part—the one no one prepares you for—of quitting dieting: grief. Because you’re not just giving up food rules. You’re letting go of a lifetime of chasing thinness, control, and the hope that “someday” your body will finally be enough.

In this episode, Katy names the grief that often comes with intuitive eating, and helping you understand why it shows up, what it really means, and how to move through it gently. 

We Discuss:

• How the 5 stages of grief show up when you quit dieting (and what to look for to figure out which one you’re in)

• What you’re ACTUALLY grieving when you give up on dieting (Hint: It’s not the diet or control itself.)

• What’s waiting for you on the other side of grieving
