"It's not like I need a cookie because I had a crappy day" With Chelsea
Jan 09, 2026When I first met Chelsea, it became apparent that she was eating for all sorts of reasons: boredom, busyness, wanting to avoid a task, having a lousy day, because someone offered her food, because someone else wanted a chai latte and she didn't want them to partake alone, or because she was tired or because she was upset.
Do any of those sound familiar? If you are thinking, "Yep, that's me." I want you to listen carefully to this real life session with Chelsea.

Dec 19, 2025Small steps come before big ones, but nobody wants to start with small steps, do we?
In today's real life session with Phyllis, we'll discuss how breaking down habits into smaller, manageable parts can lead to success and why celebrating even the smallest wins is crucial.
Phyllis has been working diligently on her habit of overeating at dinner. We've talked about what it feels like to get satisfied, and we've tried tracking each time she stopped eating her dinner before she had over eaten, but it wasn't getting checked off all that often. (That happens so...

Nov 28, 2025"If only I had more willpower, then I could stop overeating sweets...exercise more...and finally lose weight!" These are common beliefs amongst those who have struggled with their health goals for a long time. So you may have wondered why we don't talk much about "willpower" on this podcast. Today we are going to address why we don't promote it as a primary weight management strategy.
The truth is, willpower is limited and finite in nature, and one's belief in their willpower capability can greatly impact their behavior. Instead, we would like to introduce you to co...

Nov 07, 2025You may have seen the recent three-part Netflix documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. The series revisits the hit show The Biggest Loser, which framed weight loss as a competitive transformation journey—often emphasizing dramatic physical change over sustainable health. The documentary dives into the tension between creating captivating television and protecting the wellbeing of participants.
In today’s episode, we share our reflections on the series, our critiques of weight loss competitions, and why we believe shows like this perpetuate fat stigma. We’ll also talk about constructive, compassionate alternatives for achiev...
Chelsea: Being Overly Busy Helps...Kind of
Oct 17, 2025We are back this week with another call with Georgie and her client Chelsea. In the last two weeks, Chelsea has made noticeable progress with managing her treats intake (something with which she has struggled in the past). One big reason for this change in her eating habits is constant busyness.
Together, we explore the impact a packed schedule can have on eating habits and discuss finding the balance between enjoying social treats and feeling deprived. We also touch on navigating partner support, easing back into exercise after illness, and planning for healthier eating during travel.

Sep 26, 2025Why is it so easy to regain weight after losing it? You follow the plan, you see the scale go down, your clothes fit better, and then somehow the weight comes back. The worst part about weight regain for some people is that it feels like a personal failure. But in today's episode, we are here to tell you the truth: weight regain is a biologically and psychologically driven response. Not a sign of a person being weak, lazy, or lacking willpower.

However, many of them have been on and off the diet roller coaster for a large portion of their life, and can get burnt out from pursuing a goal of weight loss solely.

You can experience the same thing when you are trying on new skills to cope with the difficulties of life, but food and eating still seems to be the default tools, and you can't access your new skills or tools in your time of need.
We call this "the gap". It's that space between the knowing better and the doing better. Knowing has to come first, but then there's a lag where your old habits still fire au...

It can be so easy to want to get too hooked on the scale and try to "hurry it up" which can lead to potentially overextending yourself into diet land. Chelsea is aware of this and taking caution.
Additionally, Georgie and Chelsea talk about what to consider when managing the level of...

If you've struggled with your health and weight for some time, you might be able to pinpoint it on certain life stressors, a demanding job, an injury, genetics, or the belief that you lack discipline.

Your body and weight may have been criticized, policed, praised, scrutinized, shamed, or complimented early in life and it doesn't stop when we grow up either.
