Thin Thinking Podcast

Did you know that ideal weight maintenance is a mindset that you begin cultivating waaaaaaaay before you reach it? Say what? Yes, siree. Preparing for maintenance: knowing you will get there, being  confident that you can stay there, believing it is possible with all of your being is part of what helps you stay on your weight release trajectory. Otherwise, any attempt at weight loss is like gettin...

"I eat so healthfully...so why am I not losing weight?" I hear this all the time from prospective students and clients. Sugar-free. Fat-free. Gluten-free. It seems like nowadays there is an abundance of healthy- seeming lifestyles and lots of health-food products on the shelves in markets to support us with healthy living and weight management. Yet for healthy options there are out there--why are...

In episode 51 of Thin Thinking Podcast , we are gonna dive into how the 'license to eat' or the "because" factor can be a big roadblock releasing weight consistently.

How many times in your life have you sat in front of the TV munching away at a big bowl of popcorn --only to look down and find the bowl empty--and to your shock and horror you didn't even really experience it? Did you know that there is someone who actually studies all the different ways we mindlessly overeat? Well there is and over the years--he and his team of research assistants have made some...

Do you have a powerful weight vision that is currently "pulling" you towards your long-term weight goals? So often our pain is pushing us to lose weight but without a vision as our guide we can get lost and quickly succumb and fall off track. Research shows that when people have a vision driven goal that is driving their weight loss they are  more successful in the long-run but also happier in the...

Happy love month. Few days from now, it will be Valentine's Day and we will be seeing a lot of social media posts that talk about relationships and maintaining love with other people. When it comes to the subject of love, we mostly hear about the kind of love that pertains to a feeling towards other people but what about loving yourself? Self love. Self respect. This is the starting point not the...

What kind of drinker are you? A social or occasional drinker? A stress drinker? Or maybe a 5 times a week drinker? Whatever kind of a drinker you may be, have you ever wondered why that end of day drinky poo which was once an occasional treat has become more and more of a habit during COVID? Or have you noticed that that glass of something that you're looking forward to at night is leading to some...

ORGANIZED. MANAGED. ORDERLY. These might be some of the words that most of us wish to have this 2022. You might even have wished that in just in a snap of your fingers, you'll get every aspect of your life organized and planned out. Even in our weight mastery journey, organization is an important matter and a huge key for success yet still, a lot of us find it hard to set up. This is even a part o...

In the world of weight loss, there is a lot of focus on the finish line - that moment when we reach our ideal weight - but a lot of people miss the fact that there is an important transition that happens when we reach our ideal weight. We call it weight maintenance. In episode 44 of the Thin Thinking Podcast , I interviewed Alice Murydian, a busy business owner who was able to release 18 pounds wi...

Happy New Year! I am sure, like me, you have been through a lot this 2021. You have your list of things that you are grateful for and you have those crappy things that you want to leave behind.

It's that time of year when the diet ads are running and kale and protein powder have replaced the peppermint bark and Almond Roca on the shelves in your favorite store.

There are very many compelling reasons not to impulsively j...

Aunt Millie's pumpkin pie, uncle Bob's famous stuffing, and so much more.

So, in episode 40 of Thin Thinking , we are gonna walk through how to enjoy holiday meals with your family or friends without worrying that your weight loss or weight maintenance...

Eggnog, pumpkin lattes, Almond Roca, peppermint bark - the list can get long. We all have our own seasonal holiday favorites that we want to munch on because these foods only come this time of the year.. Indulging in our seasonal holiday favorites makes us feel great until we fall prey to their power, putting us in a position of overindulging. This leaves us to feel imbalanced, heavier, and most o...

And of course, enjoying and preparing sumptuous meals to be enjoyed by the whole family. Because of this, some find Thanksgiving a big challenge in their weight mastery journey....

Skinny people envy. Have you ever had it? Why is it so hard for us not to envy skinny people? Why are we resenting this subgroup of ideal weight humans for their ability to eat whatever they want and not gain an ounce? Grrrr! In episode 35 of our Thin Thinking podcast , we will be exploring this resentment that we often have with this group of people and how this belief may actually keep us strugg...

Are there certain specific foods that you can't stop at just one? You eat the whole carton or bag? Or maybe there are foods that you just can't seem to resist that take you off track again and again and again? You eat one, then eat another, not having realized that the food you are eating is already taking you over to the point of not being able to control yourself. We love them until we hate them...
