  • Ep 223: Losing Weight While Traveling: Mary’s 47 Pound Journey
    Jun 3 2025

    Let’s be honest—travel can throw a major wrench into any weight mastery journey. New time zones, jam-packed schedules, tempting foods at every turn. It’s easy to feel like progress has to hit pause.

    But what if it didn’t?

    In this week’s episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I sit down with Mary, who released an incredible 47 pounds over the course of a year… all while traveling nine times.

    Yes—nine.

    Whether she was towing her Airstream across the country, hopping on a plane, or visiting family, Mary didn’t just maintain her progress—she kept releasing weight. In this episode, she shares the real-life, doable strategies that helped her stay consistent while still enjoying the ride.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to manage weight mastery while on the move, this episode is a must-listen.

    Mary’s story is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools you can use on your next trip—no matter where your journey takes you.

  • Ep 222: What is my Ideal Weight? Exploring All the Answers
    May 27 2025

    “What is my ideal weight?”

    It’s a question so many of us ask ourselves—but often, it's not just about the number on the scale. Underneath it can live deeper emotions, self-judgment, and the quiet (but persistent) question: Am I enough?

    In this week’s powerful new episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, I’m joined by Rhona, who has released 25 pounds and maintained her progress. But our conversation didn’t start with the success—it started with a moment of self-reflection.

    A few months ago, Rhona found herself wondering: Am I really at my ideal weight?
    That one question opened up a much deeper dialogue—one about body image, self-acceptance, and redefining what success truly means on the journey of weight mastery.

    This episode is about peeling back the layers:
    💬 What really defines “ideal weight”?
    💬 How do emotions and self-worth tie into the number on the scale?
    💬 What does sustainable success actually look like?

    Whether you’re on a weight release journey, navigating self-acceptance, or just want to hear a heartfelt, honest conversation—you don’t want to miss this one.

    So come on in. Let’s go deeper.

I have been reading Rita’s book recently. When I downloaded it to my Kindle I browsed a bit through my library and noticed all the other books about dieting I’ve started reading and abandoned. A little voice inside me said, “Oh here you go again, yet another diet book you’ll start and never finish”.  But from the start, it showed me I’m not the only one who does kind of thing and I don’t need to beat myself up over it. Time to pick myself up and keep going.
I started listening to the podcast to help me stay in the right frame of mind. My plan is to listen to the new one each week and also go back and listen to an old one each day. Today I listened to Ep 7 with Julie Kim. Oh my goodness, this is me! I’ve done these exact same things.
I’m more hopeful than ever that I can work on my mindset and progress on my journey using this podcast as one of my tools.
