21. What would it be like to be a Food Addict?
Manage episode 415139372 series 3530776
What would it be like to be a young woman growing up in an obese body? Can you imagine her emotional struggles, let alone her physical hurdles? It’s easy for thin people to say that a large person should just “eat less and exercise more”, but what if you were literally addicted to food? In today’s world, highly calorific foods, void of any nutritional value, are everywhere. Is this like asking an alcoholic to work in a liquor store? But that liquor store is literally every food shop in the country!
Today’s podcast guest used to be obese (22 stone; 308 lb, 138 kg) until she was given a gastric bypass. Carlie talks about how this changed the direction of her life, but she also discusses the mental tortures associated with her food addiction, and her continual battles to eat healthy food, lose body fat and regain her health.
Carlie’s story is truly inspirational. I hope you enjoy listening to her energy, and if you are struggling with your weight, I hope you find inspiration in this podcast.
