Episode 320 – Living at Room Temperature
2024/02/26
Wait, what? You’re telling me that there are even more ways that I sabotage myself? We sure are. You didn’t think you were getting off that easy did you? In fact, there are so many ways to sabotage yourself that you could write a book about it. Alice Boyes, PhD DID write a book about it and your chums at We Only Look Thin are here to talk some more about it. This week, Catherine and Donald take another deep dive into forms of self-sabotage and how they can stop you from hitting your health and fitness goals. For example, did you know that you could be too optimistic? Listen to find out how. Plus, Catherine sharpens her pencil, Donald posits something or other, and clearly there are other forces at play.

Episode 319 – I WOLT The Line
2024/02/19
Is taking weight loss and fitness advice from Johnny Cash song lyrics irresponsible or the key to overnight success?  Probably.  Alice Boyes, in her book “The Healthy Mind Toolkit”, talks about patterns of self-sabotage and how we trip ourselves up by following one extreme way of thinking or another.  This week, Catherine and Donald break down three of them and make them about weight loss and fitness because everything is about weight loss and fitness.   The couple help you to recognize when you’re stuck on one side of a coin or another and how to find the center path on the way to achieving your goals.  Plus, Catherine gets stuck on the timely rabbit, Donald falls for a werewolf, and the couple encourages you to swipe in whichever direction isn’t the good one.

Episode 318 – Blindspotting
2024/02/12
What’s that?  You’re offering me a treat?  You don’t have to know that I just ate, so I don’t mind if I do!  If you’ve ever struggled with your weight, you’ve probably intentionally, or even unintentionally, overeaten when you’re not even hungry.  As humans, we’re pretty good at tricking ourselves into having good reasons to indulge.  Listener Dave wrote in to ask about the various types of “non-hunger-based eating” that people do and Catherine and Donald were happy to oblige.  This week, in part 2, the couple talk about “grazing”, “value-based eating”, “self-negotiating”, and more.  Recognizing your behavior patterns is an important step in achieving your goals.  Plus, Catherine is basically Taylor Swift’s best friend, Donald gives advice on The Dark Web, and the couple will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Episode 317 – Hungry Like The WOLT
2024/02/05
Leave it to We Only Look Thin to take perfectly good concepts like “Revenge” and “Secret” and make them about eating. New listener Dave wrote in to ask the couple about “non-hunger” based eating and Catherine and Donald replied to the email and then replied in the form of this episode. In part one this week, the couple talk about “All or Nothing”, “Impulse”, “Multi-Tasking”, and more types of mindless eating and how we make up excuses to overindulge. Plus, Catherine has fish friends, Donald hunts for pocket sandwiches, and dolls with sharp teeth probably won’t bite you while you listen to this episode. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 316 – 366 Surprises
2024/01/29
Merry Soup Swap Day to you!  If you’re like most people, you love math and hate surprises.  Well, we’ve got the episode for you! It can be easy to use special occasions as an excuse to over indulge in food.  For some, it can be easy to use non-special occasions too.  Donald and Catherine did this for most of their lives; treating every day like it was a surprise occasion to be celebrated with food.  This week, the couple talk about how taking agency in your choices will help you to achieve your health and fitness goals.  In 2024, you have an extra day in which to make great choices.  Plus, Catherine is a Julian Calendar champion, Donald is a little bit country, and the couple do not recommend productions of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Jr.”.

Episode 315 – The Banana Splits
2024/01/22
The wait is finally over! It’s time for part 2 of the origin story of We Only Look Thin. Listener Susan wrote in to ask about the early days of Catherine and Donald’s journventure, and they were all too happy to talk about it. Did the couple ever lose any weight? Did they ever start a podcast? Did Timmy ever get rescued from that well? Also, learn about how letting go of unhelpful messages from the past and developing a vocabulary around our actions can be crucial steps on the right path to sustainable weight loss. Plus, Catherine does it pole to pole, Donald puts too many “u’s” in it, and you learn way too much about different ways to split a banana. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 314 – Bananas for Weight Loss
2024/01/15
If you know anything about comic books, you know that all heroes and villains have origin stories. Catherine and Donald are no exception. Listener Susan wrote in to ask the couple to talk about the early days of their journventure; how did it all start? What tools did they use? What podcasts did they listen to? How much did doctor’s advice factor in? The answers may astound you. There were so many answers in fact, that this is only part 1! Plus, Donald eats European Rice Krispies, Catherine definitely doesn’t do any crazy rambling, and it was fine to leave 4 year olds at home by themselves in the 1970s. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 313 – The Three Whys Men
2024/01/08
When it comes to losing weight, most people ask “how?”.  How did you do it?  How did you eat?  How did you exercise?  How does watching Star Wars cartoons fit in?  However, the question that most of us should be asking is “why?”  The reason why you want to lose weight may seem obvious at first, but Catherine and Donald ask you to dig a little deeper.  Finding your real “why”, a reason that is meaningful and personal, is one of the keys to long-term weight loss success.  This week, the couple tell you how to find your real why.  So maybe you should also ask “how” after all. Shrug emoji.  Plus, Donald ploughs into jesters, Catherine tries to be cringe and succeeds, and when you have an epiphany, you need to bring gifts. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 311 – I’m Dreaming of a WOLT Christmas
2023/12/25
Reflection; vampires can’t do it, but most others can.  And yet, many choose not to.  As 2023 comes to a close, Catherine and Donald ask you to reflect upon the year, your health and fitness expectations for it, and how they turned out.  The couple ask you to look at your food choices, movement, and mindset and ask yourself, what do you wish you did more of, and what do you wish you did less of? By looking back, you can begin to make a plan for how you approach 2024.  Plus, Catherine plays Angry Costanza on her phone, Donald wants to be The Night Wolf, and the couple both want to solve murders in their retirement.

Episode 309 – WOLTing in a Winter Wonderland
2023/12/11
Your expectation of this show is probably that it’s the greatest podcast recorded by humans. The reality is that you are correct. But oftentimes our expectations and reality don’t sync up. This can be especially true of the expectations that we place upon ourselves. Throw in the holiday season and you’ve got a recipe for disappointment (be sure to track those calories). This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how the added stress of the holidays can lead to skipping out on our healthy habits which can lead to a reality far different than the one we imagined for ourselves. The couple walk you through strategies for keeping up with your self-care when stress makes you want to give up. Plus, Catherine applauds without clapping, Lucky Donald has his bag of apples, and the couple encourage you to get in on the cutting edge Wordle trend. Join WOLT Place!
