Chasing "Skinny"

Priss and Tay

13 January 2026

In this episode, we’re getting real about why so many of us feel addicted to being skinny, not just the look, but the feeling that comes with it. We talk about how skinny became safety, control, validation, and even self-worth… and why chasing that feeling can be so hard to let go of. From diet culture to praise to identity, we unpack what keeps us stuck and what it’s looked like for us to start overcoming that mindset and finding peace outside of shrinking ourselves. 🧠 Nerds hacked us again, we do a quick nerd check on dopamine, breaking down why the “skinny high” feels so powerful, how our brains get conditioned to crave it, and why unlearning this takes time (and a lot of compassion). If you’ve ever felt like being thinner promised happiness… this episode is for you. ✨ Want more behind the scenes?Check out our Patreon for bloopers, bonus episodes, deeper conversations, and exclusive content you won’t hear anywhere else. 👉 Join us here: https://patreon.com/Doseofconfidence?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it 🤍 #ozempic #glp1 #podcast #plussize #healthjourney
