In this deeply moving episode of The Weight’s Over, Sandra speaks with Frances, a long-time Slimpodder who has not only lost weight — but kept it off for 10 years. Frances shares how her weight gain was rooted in childhood trauma, and how Slimpod helped her break free from emotional eating, reclaim her self-worth, and build a life she truly loves.

Now in her 60s and feeling fabulous, Frances reflects on how healing the mind was the key to lasting change. This is not just a story of weight loss — it’s a story of resilience, mindset, and choosing self-love every day.

We discuss:

• Frances’s early life and the trauma that shaped her relationship with food

• Why her weight gain felt like a form of protection

• The moment she realized Slimpod was working — and how it quietly shifted her habits

• How emotional eating stems from survival, not weakness

• The long-term impact of rewiring the brain through consistent listening

• The role of self-love and personal development in sustained success

• How healing herself changed how she shows up for others — including her daughter and grandson

• Frances's advice to new Slimpodders: “Just turn up for yourself, believe in the process — it works.”
