# 234 "How Do I Forgive Myself for Regaining Weight?"

My No.1 bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here.

How do you deal with the guilt and shame of regaining weight after losing a substantial amount? The compliments, the approval, the self-belief. Looking to people for the kind of validation they can't possibly offer.

Some perspectives:

• Can you love the version of you who gained the weight?
• Meet the shame, don't eliminate or bypass it
• Hold two truths at once
• Using the right tools to solve the right struggles
• If you couldn't lose weight, what would you do differently?
• Weight gain might reveal where love was conditional
• Can you find the wisdom in the setback?
• Food stuffing your stomach 
• Overestimating exercise expenditure
