This is a rebellion dressed up as a recipe. A war cry disguised as a journal entry. A big middle finger to the diet industry, toxic positivity, and anyone who ever made you feel like your worth was up for debate.
I’m Karen. Trauma survivor, chronic overthinker, and recovering food comfort specialist.
I’m still on the journey—still figuring it out—but I’m done waiting until I’m “healed” to speak.
The Weigh Back is about eating well without bullshit, healing without shame, and facing down the mental and hormonal chaos that comes with surviving in a body that’s held the weight of your history.
Real Talk.
Here, we talk about the shit most people are too scared to say out loud—like how trauma hijacks your hormones, how meds mess with your metabolism, and how healing isn’t a sunrise yoga montage, it’s a fucking fistfight with your past.
Stories. Science. Swearing.
You won’t find ‘good vibes only’ here. You’ll find truth. Stories. Science. And swearing. Lots of swearing. Because healing is messy, and sometimes the only way through is to scream “fuck this” and keep going.
Healing.
If you’re crawling your way back from weight regain, shame, or the wreckage of a life that didn’t play out how you hoped—it’s not too late. You’re not broken. You’re building something.
This is The Weigh Back. And we’re not here to be polite. We’re here to take up space.
