Episode 379: Q+A - Why You’re Afraid of Feeling Hungry and How to Change It
Episode Overview Welcome back to another Q+A episode! Today, we are digging into something we don't hear talked about nearly enough: the fear of feeling hunger. Maybe you find yourself eating just in case, or reaching for snacks before you're truly hungry. Not because you're being dramatic, but because hunger feels unsettling, maybe even scary. This fear isn't random. For many women, it's shaped by years of dieting and being praised for enduring hunger like it's a badge of honor. We've been taught that hunger is a sign we're doing something right, and the more uncomfortable we are, the better. But as you probably know, too much hunger can backfire. It leads to urgency, overeating, and a chaotic relationship with food. In this episode, we unpack where the fear of hunger comes from, why it sticks around, and most importantly, how to work through it. If hunger makes you nervous or feels like an emergency, this one's for you.

Bonus Episode – Weight Watchers is bankrupt. I have feelings.
Episode Overview In this special bonus episode, Annie opens up about the deeply personal impact that Weight Watchers (now WW International) had on her life, and what its looming bankruptcy really represents. This isn’t just about a company in debt. It’s about the harm done to millions of women who were taught to count points instead of listening to their bodies, who were praised for shrinking instead of being supported in healing, and who are still carrying the emotional and physical aftermath. Annie shares her story as a longtime WW customer and explores why its collapse means not just the end of a business era; it’s also a collective reckoning. But with endings come new beginnings, and this is also a story of hope, healing, and a new way forward. We hope you enjoy. Key Points Annie’s personal experience with Weight Watchers Why this bankruptcy hits deeper than a financial loss The emotional and cultural legacy WW leaves behind What we’re doing differently at Balance365 Related Content
