We don’t really own the night, no one does. But we do know a thing or two about night time over eating.  Have you ever stuck to your plan all day only to go off after the sun goes down?   Studies have shown that resolve weakens as the day goes on. In this episode, Catherine and Donald talk about ways to combat late-night over eating and stay on track.  The Tip Of the Week (TOW!) is to throw away leftover Halloween candy.  The Product of the Week (POW!) is the Don’t Break The Chain app on IOS and the My Chain app on Android.  Plus, the couple try to crack the Amish weight loss market, no one cries over November 1st broccoli, and three strikes isn’t just for baseball anymore.

Sometimes words hurt, and not just when you get hit in the face with a book.  Negative talk about the size and shape of a person’s body can be damaging, even if you’re talking about yourself.  Self-deprecating language can run in two directions; It can hurt the person who is saying it and it can also make those around them feel worse.  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how to talk to those who disparage their bodies and the bodies others.  The Tip Of the Week (TOW!) is to make your weight loss goal a small one.  The Product Of the Week (POW!) is sparkling water. Plus, Yoda is a friend of the show, the couple reveal that they want magic bracelets and invisible jets, and Catherine opens a can of whoop butt.  As a special bonus, they may even answer the age-old question, “Why is Donald’s salad so big?”.  Listen to find out!

This week, Catherine and Donald take you to business town.  You may think that a S.W.O.T. analysis is a deep dive into the 1970’s TV show with the super catchy theme song, but that’s actually a S.W.A.T. analysis.  According to the internet, A S.W.O.T. analysis is “a strategic planning technique used to help a person or organization identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats related to business competition or project planning.” Catherine and Donald teach you that the business is weight-loss and the project is YOU!  The Tip Of the Week (TOW!) is to mindfully disobey your own rules.  The Product of the Week (POW!) is Halloween Candy that you don’t really like.  Okay, you caught us; maybe it’s really two tips this week.  Plus, Catherine writes a scripted script of scriptitude,  Donald makes a box out of macaroni, and the couple do the “Superman Shuffle” which isn’t a thing.  President business endorses this episode, so you know it’s great!

We’ve always been told, “Don’t be a know it all”.  But is that always a bad thing?  Sometimes there are things that we know that we don’t know and other times there are things that we pretend that we don’t know, you know?  Remaining willfully ignorant to what we need to do on our weight-loss adventures is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to success.  In this week’s episode, Catherine and Donald help you get really honest with yourself and face up to what you need to do.  The Tip of the Week (TOW!) is to mix it up.  The Product of the Week (POW!) is once again, the rebounder.  Plus, Catherine is a horn tooter, Donald enrolls in Water Police Academy, and the couple tell you about fighting sharks and snakes.  As if that weren’t enough, every time they mention Chopin, you have to do a push-up.

Don’t confuse generosity with generosity. Do you think you’re an unappreciated super-hero?  Many times in life we feel like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders.  We’ll tell ourselves, “if I don’t do it, then no one will”.  This week Catherine and Donald talk about hero complexes and how they lead to overeating. We use food as a reward for being exhausted, overwhelmed, and under appreciated.    Eventually, trying to take on everyone else’s problems is detrimental to your own mental and physical health. You won’t be able to take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself and the real truth is that you might be doing it to avoid your own problems.  The Tip of The Week (TOW!) is to set your scale to kilograms. The Product of the Week (POW!) is a yoga mat.  Plus, Donald mentions prime China White for some reason,  Catherine doesn’t care what’s “on fleek”, and you learn that both pierogies and monkeys are delicious.  Listen this week and take your first step in going from Co-Dependent to Independent.

It’s a sobering episode of We Only Look Thin (because it’s about alcohol, get it?).  Alcohol can be a real stumbling block when trying to achieve our weight loss and fitness goals.  The calories from the drinks themselves coupled with the effect that alcohol can lead to overeating can be a one-two punch on our weight loss adventure.  This week, Catherine and Donald discuss strategies of dealing with drinking and fitness.  The Tip of the Week (TOW!) is to check out something inspirational before bedtime. The Product of the Week (POW!) is the Progress App for IOS and the ProgOn App for Android.  Plus, Catherine calls the ATF “The Good Time Group”,  Donald gets appletini’s when he goes out with the boys, and it turns out that Canadians are just like you and me.  Chopin would have listened to every episode of We Only Look Thin and you should too.

On a serious note, this show is about health and fitness as it relates to alcohol. If you have a drinking problem, please seek professional help.

It’s a practically perfect episode of We Only Look Thin!  On the road to our goal weight, we often say to ourselves that if we can’t do something perfectly, then we shouldn’t do it at all.  We wait for the perfect time, the perfect situation, or the perfect set of circumstances which will never come.  This week, Catherine and Donald discuss the idea of realizing that good is good enough and how it can be the key to unlocking your weight loss success.  The Product of the Week (POW!) are Ziploc reusable containers.   The Tip of the Week (TOW!) is to do something right now.  Plus, Catherine picks on Mary Poppins. the Queen of Weight Loss makes a decree, and Donald and Catherine make things cool like Fonzie.

Donald and Catherine get kind of science-y this week and discuss the often perceived idea of Weight Loss through Osmosis (i.e. “Weight LossMosis”).  We think that just by joining the club or buying the gear that we’ll successfully lose the weight.  We often confuse motion for action and we research and prepare instead of actually doing something.   Just being at the library doesn’t mean you’re reading.  The Tip of the Week (TOW!) is to save up for one really nice indulgence instead of a bunch of smaller ones.   The Product of the Week (POW!) is TSA Pre-check and yes, it relates to weight loss.  Plus,  Catherine and Donald are persons of interest,  Webster’s Dictionary does not include the Borg Collective. and if I’m eating a salad, “come at me bro”.  It has been clinically proven that you can’t lose weight if you don’t listen to this podcast AND that this episode is more gooder.
