The Drop 8 Diaries: When Grief Hits in the Middle of a Weight Loss Journey

Oh boy—get ready to cry, cheer, and definitely relate.

In this Drop 8 Diaries check-in, Megan is just seven days into her journey…and already in the thick of it. She's honoring her protocol, doing everything “right,” and still—the scale is up. Add in a deeply emotional family crisis, and Megan’s not just fighting to lose weight—she’s fighting to keep it together for everyone around her.

In this raw, powerful episode, we talk about:

  •  What to do when the scale won't budge (and life is lifing)

  •  Why your pity party might be your path forward

  •  How holding space for your own emotions can make you stronger

  •  Letting go of perfection and gold star thinking

  •  Why this exact moment is perfect practice for maintenance

Laura coaches Megan through the emotional storm, revealing that strength doesn't always look like control—it often looks like vulnerability. You'll hear how this moment, as painful as it is, might be Megan’s turning point. And if you’ve ever felt like you had to be the “strong one” for everyone else? This one’s for you.

Plus, Laura shares a personal moment that cracked her open, what she told her daughter in the middle of her own breakdown, and how accessing your true emotions might be exactly what helps the weight finally come off.

This isn’t just about a pound gained or lost. It’s about releasing the grip, letting yourself feel, and learning that your emotional well-being is the foundation for lasting change.
