In this episode of the Transformation Weight Control podcast, Rich, Alex and guest Naomi Boak discuss the complexities of living with obesity, the trauma associated with it that tracks from childhood into adulthood, frequently as a secret, and the transformative effects of GLP-1 medications. Naomi is a participant in the Weight Loss Medication Support Group at Transformation Weight Control.

Naomi shares her personal journey, highlighting the emotional and psychological challenges she faced, the stigma of obesity, and most important, and a key takeaway for our listeners, the hope she found through GLP-1 medication and support groups.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding obesity as a chronic disease and the need for self-compassion and support in the journey towards the challenges of weight loss, self-acceptance, and deeply understanding that your body weight is NOT YOUR FAULT. You did not wake up one day and thought how cool it would be to struggle with your weight and suffer the trauma, stigma, shame, guilt, isolation, self-blame, low self-esteem, and "false equivalence", the belief that you define yourself by the number on the scale. Listen or watch how Naomi describes how she has successfully coped and continues to do so.
