Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2237789/open_sms] Welcome to my brand new series: Weight Loss Wednesdays Every week I'm answering your questions about weight loss and from time to time I'll answer questions about myself. This week's questions are: * Do you think hormones can affect weight loss? * What are you reading right now and what are some of your all-time favourite books? * How do you pick yourself up when facing rejection again and again? Rejection in the form of career, love, relationships. How do you keep your health plan on track when you're facing that?  If you'd like me to answer one of your questions you can send them in here: https://www.disruptingobesity.com/the-podcast Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2237789/open_sms] We made it. This is the final episode in the 101 Weight Loss Truths series. After 18 episodes, we’ve come to the end, and these last three truths are the ones that mean the most to me. Here’s what I cover in this episode: 99. Have a singular focus and accept that you don’t have a choice When I was fighting for my life in a hospital bed, I didn’t have the luxury of options. I had to focus. And the truth is, that same kind of clarity is what helped me lose over 200 pounds, and then over a hundred. In this segment, I talk about what it really means to narrow your focus and stop giving yourself a back door to escape through. 100. There is no backward, only forward This was the hardest one to record. It’s something I used as a lifeline during my recovery and something I still rely on now. When you’re trying to change your life, you can’t keep looking over your shoulder. You’ve got to deal with where you are now and figure out what to do next. The past matters, but it doesn’t get to decide your future. 101. You’ve totally got this I say it every week, and I mean it every time. Whether you believe in yourself or not, I believe in you. You can do this, even if it’s hard, even if you’ve failed before, even if you’re not sure where to begin. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep going. Thank you for coming with me through all 101 truths. This series might be over, but your journey is just getting started. Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2237789/open_sms] We’re in the home stretch of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series with part seventeen. I’m breaking down four more powerful truths that get right to the heart of sustainable, long-term weight loss. Here’s what we cover this week: 95. There’s no place for perfect in weight loss Trying to be perfect with your eating, tracking, or mindset might sound like commitment, but it’s actually just self-sabotage in disguise. I talk about how perfectionism kept me stuck for years and why dropping the expectation of doing it "right" all the time was one of the most freeing things I’ve ever done. 96. Breed. Build. Become. This is one of the core concepts from inside my program. I explain what it means to breed new habits, build them up through repetition, and become the person who just does them. If you’ve ever had a habit crumble like a sandcastle at high tide, this one’s for you. 97. Keep your eyes on your own scale Comparison will wreck your momentum faster than any dessert ever could. I walk through what it really costs when we compare our weight loss to others, and why it’s so important to stay focused on your own journey instead of someone else’s highlight reel. 98. Consistency not intensity Intensity feels sexy. Consistency actually works. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday, this truth might be what helps you finally stop. I explain why sustainable weight loss demands a long game approach, and why you need to be able to keep going far more than you need to go hard. Next week, I’ll be back with the final three truths. They’re big ones. And yes, there’s a decent chance I’m going to cry. Looking for help on your weight loss journey? I’ve created a couple of resources: • My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2237789/open_sms] We’re officially in part sixteen of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series, and in this episode, I’m walking you through five of the biggest, most foundational truths of the entire list. This one isn’t just about food. It’s about your relationship with food. Because let’s be honest, it’s never just about the calories or the macros. It’s about your habits, your patterns, your triggers, your nostalgia, your rituals, and your Gladyses. Here’s what we’re covering today: WLT 90: What You Eat Matters Not just for your body, but for your heart, your memories, your grief, your cravings, and your comfort. It's about calories and connection. WLT 91: Who You Eat With Matters Even if it's just you and your inner Gladys. People, past or present, impact our choices in ways we don’t always realise. WLT 92: When You Eat Matters Calories don’t tell time, but your brain and your habits sure do. This one is about timing, triggers, and figuring out what works for you. WLT 93: Where You Eat Matters From the car to the couch to the fridge door, your environment has more influence than you think. If you’ve ever inhaled snacks standing in your kitchen, this one will hit home. WLT 94: How You Eat Matters Fast? Distracted? Ritualistic? Guilty? Comforted? However you do it, your method matters. And it tells you a lot more than you think. I also share a few of my personal weird food quirks (yes, including the hot dog thing) and why I still keep some of them around, but with boundaries. These five truths make up a huge part of the foundation of my 53-week program, and they're part of what helped me rebuild my relationship with food from the ground up.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2237789/open_sms] In this episode, I'm digging into Truths 85 to 89 of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series. Five more uncomfortable but important truths that can change the way you think about weight loss. Here’s what I cover: 85 – You can lose weight for whatever reason you want No, really. You don’t need a Gladys-approved noble cause to justify it. If it’s about your jeans, your confidence, or your desire for a thigh gap, go ahead and want that. Your reason is valid. 86 – Loose skin happens but it’s better than the alternative Let’s stop pretending this isn’t part of the conversation. Yes, loose skin is real. Yes, it can be frustrating. But I promise you, it’s better than the complications of carrying excess weight. I’d never trade my loose skin for the weight I used to carry. 87 – Safety nets help you soar Rules make us rebel. Safety nets help us fly. I explain how reframing your weight loss ‘rules’ as supportive safety nets gives you freedom instead of resistance. I’m talking practical examples, from eating with the fridge open to meal prepping after stressful phone calls. 88 – Meet yourself where you are You can’t jump off at the 1200 calorie stop if your train isn’t there. This one’s all about honesty. Real progress starts with knowing where you actually are, not where you wish you were. No more unrealistic overhauls. Just small, honest, sustainable steps. 89 – Tracking a binge is always better than not tracking it This one’s tough but it’s powerful. Avoiding the number doesn’t make the binge disappear. It just lets guilt and shame spiral out of control. You need a baseline, and you need data. You can’t do better next time if you don’t even know what “better” looks like. This episode is a mindset shaker so brace yourself, Gladys. Looking for help on your weight loss journey? I’ve created a couple of resources: • My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!
