EP 145: Will The Real Slim Lady Please Stand Up?

In this episode, I sit down with Kate, a weight loss warrior who has been navigating her journey for years, learning from every experience along the way. Kate shares her evolution from dieting as a teenager to losing four stone with Slimming World—only to regain it—and then finding a sustainable approach with calorie counting.

We discuss the emotional side of weight loss, the food noise that many struggle with, and the importance of changing your mindset rather than just focusing on the number on the scale. Kate’s story is incredibly relatable for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing and regaining weight, dealing with the all-or-nothing mindset, or struggling with self-worth on their journey.

She also shares how she’s made weight loss easier, why she loves using Gousto for meal planning, and how she now enjoys food without guilt.

Key Highlights:

From Slimming World to calorie counting – The lessons Kate learned from both approaches.

Food noise & restriction – Why labelling food as “good” or “bad” can lead to an unhealthy mindset.

How calorie counting gave Kate food freedom – Allowing flexibility while staying in control.

Mindset shifts for lasting change – Why perfectionism is the real enemy of progress.

Enjoying the journey – How to lose weight without feeling miserable or restricted.
