Definitions and Boundaries to solve recurring weight gain
Free E-Book - Why diet's work until they don't
Why do diets fail, even when you follow them properly?
​
In this episode, Bronwyn explores Maggie’s experience of weight regain through the lens of her eating system. What looks like a willpower problem is something else entirely; a system built around not trusting herself with food.
​
You’ll hear how relief eating develops, how early family conditions shape long-term patterns, and why controlling food intake doesn’t resolve the underlying structure.
​
This is not about better habits.
It’s about understanding why you eat.
​
If you’ve experienced weight regain, this episode will change how you see it.

The weight regain boundary problem
​
The Weight Ecosystem link I reference in the episode that can start your weight regain solution.
​
Today we look at, "Why do weight regain explanations begin and end with calories?"
​
In this episode Bronwyn introduces one of the foundational ideas behind the Weighting for Happiness Project: boundaries.
​
In systems thinking, a boundary determines what gets included when you're trying to understand a problem. And what sits inside that boundary strongly influences the explanation you end up with.
​
Most weight-loss approaches draw a very narrow boundary around food and calorie intake.
​
But what happens when the boundary expands?
What happens when weight history, family food culture and long-standing eating patterns are included in the investigation?
​
Bronwyn explores why expanding the boundary changed the way she understood weight regain and why we need to broaden our investigation more than calories.
​
