John’s back this week and we have a bit of catching up to do. John’s switching up his diet to gluten-free and working on focusing on just one meal at a time. Emily has discovered Wafflefulls and has had an inhuman number of them in the last few weeks.

“It's one meal at a time. Make good choices and if you don't make good choices, you get a chance to the next meal. You get a chance to do it again.” — JOHNSPIRATION

Meet Your Hosts:

• John Bukenas is a podcast editor from New Jersey. He started the podcast doing keto and intermittent fasting, but is now gearing up for bariatric surgery (probably) later this summer.
• Emily Prokop is a podcast editor and consultant from Connecticut. She has been doing Intermittent Fasting since April 2018 and has lost about 70 pounds. She started with 16:8 and is now doing 18:6.

In This Episode:

• John’s basically becoming a Podcast Dealer. Try it! All your friends are doing it!
• Johns a bit of a Grinch when it comes to Christmas. Did you know?
• Both John and Emily have dealt with some depression lately and we’re working through using food as our crutch and really examining why we choose food as a vice. Sometimes, it’s a way to make us feel as ugly and gross on the outside as we feel on the inside.
• Do you have a good chili recipe for John to try? You can email it to [email protected] OR call it in on our voicemail and we’ll play it on the show: 760-946-6464 (760-WINNING).
• We love learning what our listeners are cooking and the healthy recipes they are enjoying  —maybe it’ll inspire us!
• Sorry for those two hours last week I had the unedited version up! Oops!
• John’s now going Gluten-Free and having the deal with Keto Flu again.
• By the way, Aldi has some awesome gluten-free foods! Also, I didn’t mention it on the show, but if you are Gluten-free and like to travel, check out our friend Elikqities podcast, Travel Gluten-Free.
• WAFFLEFULLS are amazing! Thank you Brickbox in Stratford, Conn., for my new addiction!
• Emily is craving more vegetables, despite her love of Wafflefulls. Luckily, there is a veggie option!
• Ever do really well at something and hit a goal, then totally self-sabotage? Why do we do this to ourselves?
• We also come up with our dream Wafflefulls: A breakfast one and a low-carb variety with mashed cauliflower. Brickbox, just let us know when you’d like to come on as a sponsor ;)
• Emily has temporarily solved her clothing dilemma of being tired of shopping for clothes and having to throw them out when she loses more weight: she’s buying the same $6 shirts and $10 legging 2-packs from Walmart until her weight settles. Zuckerberg closet, here I come!
• John, if you’re reading these show notes, stop scratching your legs!
• As much as Emily loves her Wafflefulls, it’s important to note that it’s just a phase and this won’t consume her life or cause her to throw her diet completely away.
• “I’m not even sorry!”
• OUR BIG NEWS: Thank you to everyone who nominated Hate to Weight for the Discover Pods Awards! Only a few more hours from when this episode drops that you can vote for us in the Health & Fitness category! (And while you’re there, would you mind throwing a vote to Emily’s other podcast, The Story Behind, which is in the History category? Thanks!)
• It’s an honor just to be nominated. - Emily
• That’s what losers say! We want to win! - John
• No #WinningWednesday this week, but we’ll have them next week!
• Later, Weighters!

We’d love to hear your scale and non-scale victories! Come celebrate your wins over in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group on Facebook!

VOTE FOR HATE TO WEIGHT FOR THE 2019 DISCOVER PODS AWARDS HERE!

This week is a little different from our other episodes. John couldn’t make it this week so I did a solo episode talking about how I got started with Intermittent Fasting and lost about 70 pounds in 18 months.

We joke sometimes, but dieting really is such a lifestyle change, but it doesn’t always have to be a punishment for doing something wrong. I really encourage anyone currently on a weight-loss journey of their own to keep getting back on the wagon, keep trying new things, keep pushing toward your goals.

John and I are so encouraged by all of you and your support and we hope we’ve also been able to be supportive to you.

— Emily

Both John and Emily are in pissy moods and can’t figure out why, until they both realize that the antibiotics they’ve been taking may have something to do with it. And any sort of dieting is never easy when your mood isn’t great.

In This Episode:

• We recorded on Halloween, which apparently starts the Eating Season in the U.S.
• Emily’s Halloween Costume this year was #SelfCare!
• Water Reminder!
• We apologize for the skipped episode last week — John woke up with a migraine from caffeine withdrawal.
• Caffeine is a hell of a drug!
• This podcast really keeps us accountable so we had quite the few weeks since the last time we recorded.
• John has quite the attitude (but we’ll find out why later in the episode). But the mood really affects weight loss.
• But we try our hardest to get happy!
• John finds out about the hashtag #OKBoomer and has a bit of a fit. Rant ahoy! Be prepared to be schooled and threatened with turning this car right around!
• Did you see the picture Emily posted in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group of the belt she bought when we started the podcast? It’s on its last hole!
• Have you heard of Macy’s Personal Shopper? No minimum to buy and absolutely free! Emily really wants to try this. Oh! And the first time, you get 20% off! Would you try it?
• John solves women’s fashion, LOL! You’re welcome!
• SAGGY KNEES! What is that?!
• Emily is on a roll and continuing her routine.
• As long as Emily knows she can have anything she wants, the timing doesn’t matter as much.
• We will never say it’s easy to start and we go into some of the side effects of Intermittent Fasting in the beginning.
• But the past two weeks really felt like hell to Emily, who’s upper respiratory infection turned into an ear infection.
• Turns out, the antibiotics caused a whole host of mental side effects, including anxiety, irritability, depression and just general “blah-ness.”
• Biotics have helped already, by the way! Thank you to everyone who reached out and suggested them and Emily is currently looking more into the gut-mind connection.
• UPDATE: Emily went to the ENT and ended up having an Inner Ear Infection and am now on more medication. Eek!
• John apologizes to his lady friend, Samantha, for his pissy mood.
• Emily shouts out the Fairfield, Connecticut, McDonald’s. Good job tasting really good!
• Congratulations to everyone’s #WinningWednesday posts!
• Do you watch TV shows with subtitles?
• Later, Weighters!

• All that food, and still the weight goes down. Thanks, Intermittent Fasting.
• John’s birthday is the day this comes out! If you’re reading these, please wish him a very happy birthday in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group!
• Do you think sugar is more addictive than other substances?
• What are you done with? We are allowed to tell ourselves that we are done with something for the rest of our lives, and it can be very freeing.
• Emily got a haircut and finally gets a haircut she enjoys!

In This Episode:

• Last week was a HEAVY week, but the support we received was phenomenal! Thank you to everyone who reached out with support and encouragement. We really do read everything and it keeps us going!
• John took a trip to the Emergency Room for his foot. Luckily everything seems to be OK for now.
• But the annoyance of it meant he was able to avoid overeating!
• In case you’re new to the show, Intermittent Fasting means only eating during a certain number of hours every day.
• We’re reparenting ourselves and negotiating with ourselves, but it’s working!
• At-Home-Emily hates to cook; Out-Shopping-Emily forgets this and buys vegetables that just go bad. Can you relate?
• John has a great baked potato routine going!
• Emily found frozen cauliflower pizza. The good news: it tastes just like a regular frozen pizza! The bad news: it takes just like a regular frozen pizza.
• Have you tried cauliflower pizza?
• Your mindset when you lose weight is very weird and is tricky for both of us.
• Our bodies can do so much! But our brains take some time to catch up to the changes.
• "The Mind, Explained" (not “The Brain, Explained,” as Emily says) is fantastic! The Anxiety episode is a great one to start one.
• Are we just giving ourselves cheap exposure therapy by podcasting about our weight loss struggles?
• Winning Wednesday! Wait, nope! Nevermind. Not yet.
• What do you think? Should we have more guests? Let us know! Email [email protected]
• OK, for real this time: Winning Wednesday!
• We are so ADHD this week.
• Make good choices!
• John, I’m so sorry shark week made me so demanding this week!
• Emily gives you the Pinterest version of how to fix drawstrings.
• Did we really complain about losing weight? Ugh!

• Emily realizes she doesn’t have any of her old coping mechanisms she used to use — overeating, smoking, and drinking.
• Emily is reading a new book about learning to be mindful of emotions and how they affect you.
• Emotions can make us feel heavier than the scale lets on.
• John absolutely lightens the mood! And to think he wasn’t going to talk about this!
• John was so close to a new second number, but then … oh, I’m not going to spoil it here.
• OK, a little spoiler: John buys things in his sleep, LOL!
• I’m still laughing while writing these show notes!  
• Microphones = Truth Serum
• Our weeks have been off-the-wall, too!
• John realized that overeating wasn’t worth it.
