Diets condition us to consider everything that happens to us physically as something to aid or hinder weight loss. Get a sickness bug - at least I'll lose some weight! Have a super active day - at least I'll lose some weight! I've got quite the list of those examples ready for this episode ready to dive into.

Easter can be really overwhelming for you if you have struggles around food. The chocolate, the Easter eggs, the hot cross buns, the roasts, the drinks...... the list goes on. 

But what if you didn't have to worry about what you'd eaten? What if you didn't automatically think 'I ate too much chocolate at Easter'. What if you could just enjoy it? In this episode I'm going to help you to do that.

What is stopping you from quitting your diet club? What keeps you there? 

I think that there are about 6 types of diet club member. The elder, the lifer, the tweaker, the oracle, the star and the helper. Each one comes with her own reasons why she just can't walk away from the diet and the diet club. Which one are you?

It's in the news today and it's been on my Facebook feed this week. People are going to Turkey for gastric sleeves, and some of these procedures are going better than others!

But why are they going abroad for gastric surgery? Why not stay home and have it on the NHS if they're going to have it? 

What even is the problem with gastric surgery anyway? Why is it so bad?

I'm going to talk about the realities of having this major surgery. You deserve to be fully informed.  

Here are a couple of links to information that I have used to put together this episode, including some information that I didn't even have time to squeeze in to the episode:

• Risks and complications of bariatric surgery
• The advantages and disadvantages of sleeve gastrectomy; clinical laboratory to bedside review
• Gastric Sleeve Surgery Complications and Risks

If you would like to look at how I can help you to find an alternative to having this life changing surgery please reach out. All the links are below. I'd love to help you.

I must stress, I am not a medical practitioner and I do not have lived experience with gastric surgery. I have my own research in order to talk to you, but ultimately these are my opinions. Please do your own research on this topic.

What a week I've had! Two experiences that made me consider my weight, my size, and how I fit into this world. I'm doing something a little different this week and taking you through what happened at my hospital appointment to see the dentist for treatment (urgh) and my experience at a Lizzo concert. Which one do you think I enjoyed more??

Intuitive eating helps improve your relationship with food, but the desire to lose weight can often remain, so can you use intuitive eating for weight loss? This week I'm talking about whether or not it is possible to be an intuitive eater and lose weight at the same time.

Diets are sooooooo boring. The tracking, the fakeaways, the food substitutions, the diet talk, the compromises at meals and social events.... there's so much to dieting that makes life really dull. Have a listen to my thoughts on this, then jump on to my website and record your own message about just how boring you think dieting is.

Help! I'm an emotional eater!

Don't you worry, I've got you. In this episode I'm talking about emotional eating, whether it's good or bad, reasons why we might eat emotionally (some may surprise you), and how to be a bit kinder to yourself when it happens.

Are you giving yourself a hard time because you feel like you can't eat intuitively perfectly, you don't feel as good about your body as you know you could, or you can't let dieting go? Do you feel guilty for emotional eating, or for wasting years dieting? Do you feel like you've let yourself go? All thoughts and feelings that come up often for people transitioning out of dieting and into intuitive eating and body positivity.

Let me help to explain this for you, and give you some ideas of how you can think of these things instead.

Other ramblings include a shoutout to the very first podcast supporters, Jan & Jan, and what I thought of the new Whitney Houston film, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Great question asked by the lovely Jan this week. The line between 'healthy' or 'sensible' eating and restriction can be tricky to spot, and it's a concern that lots of people have when they are figuring out or new to intuitive eating. In this week's episode I'm giving you some questions that will help you to determine which one it could be for you, and then giving you some tips on how to turn it round so that you can be an intuitive eater again.

Other ramblings include my pathetic ability to eat spicy foods, how tuna and sweetcorn seem to go with everything, and new options for supporting the show.
