Thin Thinking Podcast

Gastric bypass surgery is a surgical procedure used to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight by altering their digestive system. It is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery.

In today's insightful episode, we are joined by Marilyn Thayer, who shares her incredible story of how she embarked on a life-changing path through gastric bypass surgery.Marilyn's journey begins here, where she successfully lost over a hundred pounds, gaining a new lease on life.

However, life is an ever-evolving journey, and unforeseen challenges can arise.

Marilyn's story takes a unique turn as she candidly discusses how, over time, her life circumstances shifted, and the global pandemic further impacted her health and well-being. She found herself gradually regaining the weight she had worked so hard to release.

This realization prompted her to embark on a new chapter, one that extended beyond just altering the size of her stomach – it involved reshaping her thoughts and habits, particularly at the subconscious level.

In this episode, Marilyn shares the fascinating and motivational journey of not only opting for gastric bypass surgery but also using the power of hypnosis to achieve long-term, permanent weight release.

Whether you're personally interested in this topic or know someone who may benefit from hearing Marilyn's story, this episode promises to be a source of motivation and empowerment.

So, come on in to the Thin Thinking Podcast.

How many times have you lost weight only to gain it back?

Being stuck in a never-ending loop of hope and disappointment?

That frustrating cycle of losing weight, only to see it creep back on?

Our guest on today's Thin Thinking Podcast episode, Sarah, has been there too. She knows the frustration, the setbacks, and the desire for lasting change all too well.

Emotional eating is one of the leading causes of inconsistent weight release. Last week we began to look at some key tools to prevent emotional eating.

This week I want to dive deeper into this important topic giving you even more tools and insights so that you can begin to have some leverage over this challenging cycle.

For a long time, I found myself turning to food as a source of comfort during stressful moments, using it as a way to numb my emotions and avoid dealing with them.

However, through my own journey, I learned how to manage my thoughts, nurture my mind, and ultimately take control of my feelings--this began to give me more power and prevent emotional eating from happening in the first place.

In today's episode, part two of preventing emotional eating, we will explore a number of effective tools to help you steer away from emotional eating. Together, we will delve into downshifting expectations and discover the power of self-comforting phrases and practices.These tools will empower you to build resilience and strength in the face of emotional triggers.

As you begin to manage your emotions more effectively, you'll notice that the emotional eating muscle weakens while the emotional mastery muscle becomes stronger.

The best part is, you are not alone in this journey. We are in this together, and I am committed to providing you with the guidance and support you need to succeed.

So, get ready to grab that tool belt once more and join me for part two of an insightful and transformative episode.

Do you find yourself constantly taking care of others but rarely finding time for your own self-care?

It's a common challenge for many of us. We dedicate ourselves to our roles as parents, employees, caregivers, and volunteers, often leaving no room for personal rejuvenation.

And even when we do consider taking that much-needed time for ourselves, we often feel guilty or ashamed.

The result? We become depleted and may turn to food for comfort, using overindulgence as our only treat.

So for this week's episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, we are joined by our special guest, Dr. Zerri Gross, an international bestselling author, licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed yoga instructor, and mindfulness facilitator, who will guide us through the essential topic of self-care.

Dr. Z will help us understand the importance of prioritizing self-care and more importantly, how to overcome the guilt and shame associated with it. She'll show us how to carve out time for rest, rejuvenation, and what she calls "reclamation of ourselves."

She also shares valuable insights on reclaiming self-care time and connecting with your inner goddess, regardless of gender. (Yes, gentlemen, you have an inner goddess too—who knew?)

If you are ready for an inspiring and empowering conversation, and if you are ready to take that transformative step forward and make time for YOU, then come on in!
