If you’re anything like Bruce the Shark from Finding Nemo, or the hosts of this podcast, you probably have to remind yourself that you’re not a mindless eating machine.  Does that mean that you need to become a mindful eating machine instead?  Do you need to eat all of your food free of distraction and chew every bite at least forty-seven times?  We Only Look Thin listener Karen wondered this too and she wrote in to ask Catherine and Donald about it.  What is mindful eating, how crucial is it to hitting your goal weight, and do you have to take vacation time from work do it right?  The couple answer these questions and more.  Plus, Catherine catfishes herself, Donald plants crumbs in front of Catherine’s chair, and the couple obtain materials by legal means.

What has dinosaurs, talking mice, street teams, and 3 cats in a trench coat? This episode of course! Have you ever said to yourself, “I’ll never do that again” only to find yourself right back there at some point? Saying things like “never” and “always” sets us up for disappointment, shame, and an all or nothing attitude. The key to long-term weight loss success is about gradual improvement and about getting right back on track when things don’t go the way we want. Aim for consistency, not perfection. Plus, Catherine does a new cereal-based dance, Donald visits “Pasta R Us”, and the couple make a blood oath to their listeners.

Episode 329 – Never Say Never

Those loveable scoundrels at the AARP tricked us into reading an article by Katie Smith about ten habits that could change your life forever.  Wouldn’t you know it, the article turned out to be great!  Now, we run down the second half of the ten habits: that’s nearly 5!  Catherine and Donald take you through the weight loss, fitness, and mental health benefits of cutting people out of your life, honoring commitments to yourself, unplugging, and more.  You are worth the Invesment in yourself.  Plus, Donald calls the police from a land line, Catherine invests in worms, and we are not yacht rock folk.

Episode 328 – Tricked by the AARP – Part 2


What if we told you that there were ten habits that could change your life forever?  What if we further told you that the habits came from the AARP?  Then, what if we told you that we were only going to tell you about five of them this week?    Based on an article on thegirlfriend.com from the AARP by Katie Smith, Catherine and Donald dive into habits that you might want to adopt to achieve your health and fitness goals as well as improve your life in general.  Will you become more protective of your sleep, move your body more, let people do what they want to do or try one of the others?  We can’t wait to find out.  Plus, Catherine photographs her way out of her marriage, Donald rides like the wind, and We Only Look Thin is super cool beans.

Episode 326 – Habit Elementary – Part 6

If weight loss and fitness were a video game, you’d complete a level and move on to the next. It isn’t, but in this episode, we’re pretending that it is. This week, Donald and Catherine guide you through one of the higher levels; when you’re in range of your goal weight. You’re tracking, meeting calorie and activity goals, working on your emotional issues with food, and becoming a detective of yourself. So now what? It’s time to figure out what your goal weight should be and time to prepare for what comes after you hit it. Plus, Donald asks for more punctuation, Catherine is good at the mashed potato; both the food and the dance, and the couple are all about the condiments.
