Send us a text In this Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m answering the second round of the most common questions people are asking right now in December. These are the real-life, boots-on-the-ground questions that come up when family, food, holidays, and pressure all collide at the same time. We’re talking about comments from family, holiday overeating, the week between Christmas and New Year’s, restraint collapse, tracking over the holidays, and how to stop telling yourself you’ll “start again in J...

Send us a text In this Weight Loss Wednesday episode, I stay firmly in the holiday spirit and tackle the most common weight loss questions people ask in December. I asked ChatGPT what women are most concerned about this time of year, and honestly, the questions were spot on. They are the same ones I see every single holiday season. I start with the big one. Should you even try to lose weight in December? I explain why continuing to try matters far more than seeing the scale move, and how stic...

Send us a text The holidays are closing in and the questions keep coming. In this week’s Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m finishing up holiday Q&A and talking about the situations that make weight loss feel extra difficult this time of year. Full plates, food-centred family gatherings, endless leftovers and that familiar feeling of losing control around food. If the holidays tend to throw you off track, you are not imagining it. This episode is about getting through this season without turning ...

144 ~ Holiday Sabotage

Disrupting Obesity ·

2025/12/08

Send us a text The holidays have a sneaky way of making weight loss harder than usual. In this episode, I’m talking about holiday sabotage, and that includes sabotage from other people and the sabotage we do to ourselves. As the season ramps up, weight loss can feel like it is being challenged from all sides. Family comments, food pushers, passive-aggressive coworkers, unsupportive partners, and people who think your body and your plate are open for discussion. Add old memories, emotional tri...

Judgment from other people, constant food noise, baking traditions, grief, and pressure to “just eat because it’s Christmas” all tend to show up at once. In this Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m answering real listener questions pulled from the vault that are just as relevant now as when they were first asked. This episode is about staying grounded through the holidays, setting quiet boundaries, and continuing forward without ...

This stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year’s can feel chaotic, emotional, and full of food that pushes every button you’ve got. So I’m sharing the tools, mindset shifts, and strategies that actually help you stay grounded instead of getting swept into the holiday eating vortex.

2025/11/17

Send us a text In this episode, I’m talking about something that has shaped my life in ways I didn’t even understand until years later, something my husband calls an "environment of yes". After I got sick, Shahn made a conscious effort to surround me with as much positivity and choice as possible. He created yeses in a season of my life that had been nothing but no, and it changed everything for me. Today I’m pulling back the curtain a little to share what that looked like, why it mat...

Send us a text In this episode, I talk about something most people don’t even realise is an option on a weight loss journey. We act like when things get hard, the only choices are to keep going or to give up. But there is a third option that can save your progress, protect your mental bandwidth, and stop you from falling back into that old start again cycle. I call it damage control mode. I explain what damage control actually looks like, why it’s not the same as quitting, and why it’s defini...
