What takes up space in your mind when food no longer does?
In this live episode with the Life After Diets community, we explore what happens when food obsession fades. Do we land in a new identity with different thoughts and interests? Or do we find new mental fixations waiting in the wings?
From identity shifts and social anxiety to ego, neurodivergence, and the need for stimulation, we dig into what it really means to reclaim your mental real estate. A candid, insightful conversation about what comes next in life after diets.
