We Only LOOK Thin

Last week’s episode couldn’t have been part 1 if this week’s wasn’t part 2.  We continue down our path of remembering Gretchen Rubin’s “Logic Loopholes” and making them all about weight loss and fitness because that what we do.  If you’re a human, chances are you’ve lied to yourself about whey you can’t accomplish your weight loss and fitness goals.  Catherine and Donald are going to help you to identify 5 of the kinds of lies you’ve probably been telling yourself.  Knowing is half the battle! Plus, Catherine doesn’t want to be a jerk, but is anyway, Donald runs out of excuses to buy new t-shirts, and this is the Sandals Resort of podcasts.

We enjoy forgetting and we’re hoping that you do too.  Way back in episodes 11 and 12 of We Only Look Thin, when the podcast was still in black and white, Catherine and Donald looked at Gretchen Rubin’s “Logic Loopholes” through the lens of weight loss and fitness.  Now they’re doing it again!  Logic loopholes are the lies we tell ourselves that keep us from achieving a goal or starting a habit.  With the benefit of a few more years of experience, the couple take you through loopholes 1 to 5 and remind you that the only way to create a habit is to consistently perform that behavior.  Plus, Donald’s here for freaking you out, Catherine doubles down on buttercups, and the couple are the best at self-sabotage.
