Lessons I learnt from dieting

Learn to stop and have one bite at a time

One of the greatest challenges to making progress with our goals is the idea that we can have it all. This episode explores the importance of being able to focus on one thing at a time and not spreading yourself thin to the point of becoming ineffective. I share about my personal experiences with trying to do too many things at the same time and the drawbacks it caused me. As a final note, this is my last episode, atleast for a while as I have come to the realisation that the need to focus is where I am at in life and a few things have to take a back seat, even those that are dear to my heart like this podcast. Atleast for now.

Lessons I learnt from dieting

Over the years I have had a lot of experiences with dieting and have learnt a lot from the experiences. I share about what I learnt, how it helped me and my recent shift from not wanting anything to do with changing my eating habits because of past pressures to now recently re-engaging with weight watchers.

The Stress of going back home

This episode looks at ways of addressing the pressure that people sometimes place on themselves to lose weight when its time to go back home. Often there is a fear of judgment from family and friends about extra weight that one may have gained. We explore a more authentic way of living.

One size does NOT fit all

Today we explore the idea that despite the message that has been put out there, one size really does not fit all. This is something that can instil shame as people strive to fit into a predefined mould only to be disappointed when it does not work.

Managing depression about your weight- The Deep waters song

This episode looks at the impact that weight struggles can have on your general mood and the helplessness and hopeless that accompanies depression when nothing seems to be working for you. You are encouraged to change the way you approach your struggles and learn to focus on being kind and compassionate towards yourself. I explore parts of the song I wrote at a time when I was extremely depressed about my weight-Deep waters.
