This episode isn’t just about chaffle recipes (though they share some seriously tasty ones)—it’s about releasing the idea that food equals failure, and rebuilding your relationship with eating from the inside out.Whether you're post-op, on GLP-1s, or just trying to love yourself through the chaos, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to nourish their body and soul at the same time.🔑 Key Topics Covered:Emotional eating: why the shame starts earlyHealing your relationship with food after weight loss surgeryWhy eating in public used to feel terrifyingHow protein-forward meals support physical and mental healthReal-life chaffle recipes: sweet & savory options with Devotion NutritionLetting go of diet culture guilt—and learning to love food againHow intuitive eating and body trust evolve after surgery📲 Follow & Connect: Follow Transform Your Life Podcast on Instagram: @transformyourlifepodcastFollow Tonya: @takingmylifebackat42Follow Teresa: @transformingteresamarie | TikTok: @transformingteresamarie
