Hate To Weight | Our Diet And Weight Loss Journey

In This Episode: Sorry we didn’t announce we were taking last week off! Emily was away at a podcasting conference. Emily even stayed in her eating window (she does 16:8 Intermittent Fasting). Izzy is the most awesome podcaster! She’s 10 and she is so professional! Emily fits into her GOAL PANTS! John decides that he wants to do all the things and he announced it’s time to have the sleeve surgery. (And, of course, our group members are so supportive and wonderful!) John had his first appointment the day before we recorded! Hi, John’s Doctor! John works through some thoughts about goals and motivation for the surgery, including being part of the annual roast at Podfest. We have two weeks’ worth of #WinningWednesday posts to go through! So many dut-duts! We are offically at our lowest for the podcast! Join our the Hate to Weight Discussion Group on Facebook and have fun with us!

In This Episode: Emily had a bad day! She ate Wendy’s for the first time in weeks and got stomach cramps from it! It’s tough to have a spouse and kids who are picky eaters when you’re trying to diet. For fans of Sex and the City: Soda = Mr. Big; Water = Aiden; Berger = Burger John’s anxious about his doctors appointments. Why aren’t we calling everything a “practice”? We will never “master” anything fully. We’re constantly failing, but learning from our mistakes. John uses his debit card statement to see how he’s doing with his diet. Smart! He’s thinking of incorporating bone broth into his diet. Have you tried it? We go off in a tangent on the chemical smell in New Jersey, lol! Our #WinningWednesday posts are awesome!

In This Episode: John visited the doctor this week and finds out he’s low on Vitamin D and pre-diabetic. Emily did yoga for an entire month! YAY! Celebrate those Non-Scale Victories! Hurray! John’s special lady friend is his accountability partner! Do you have a place to check off your daily goals? Oh, the addiction to social media! Oh no! Learning new things is scary. From technology to nutrition. How much pizza can I eat … nevermind. Hey! We’re on Twitter! (@HateToWeight) If you’re not listening to Brilliant Observations, it’s one of our favorite podcasts! John’s always tweaking! #WinningWednesday was awesome, as always! Oh no! Soda has found its way back into Emily’s life! Soda is the awful ex you’re not supposed to get back with!

In This Episode: It was Valentine’s Day when we recorded (and shark week!). We talk about our sweethearts a bit. Emily needed to see that new number last week so she knew she could do it, even if it’s gone this week. Getting to the “1” or “0” as the last number is huge! Do you bargain with the scale, as well? The scale is JUST a measurement of mass, not who we are. It’s still so hard to keep going, no matter how long we do this podcast. But we KEEP TRYING. We love new members and their stories! Thanks to everyone who joins the Hate to Weight Discussion Group and shares their story! John is in a funk! We go behind the curtain of podcast editors. *Trigger Warning* We touch a little bit on suicide and medications that cause suicidal thoughts. LOVE LOVE LOVE - apparently, if you want to get hydrated, take a sip of water every time Emily says “Love” in this episode! #WinningWednesday was awesome, as always, this week! Emily shares some good-ish news about Wendy’s food! Uh-oh! John discovered DoorDash! Join our t

  In This Episode: We’re so happy to have Harriet Morris from The Eating Coach podcast on the show today! We talk about how she is more focused on behavior concerning eating, as opposed to weight loss. She talks about her process and says upfront working with her is work (but it’s deep work that really does help). Harriet is not a dietician and we talk how she’s different. “The great thing about an experiment is you can’t fail or succeed at an experiment. It can only give you data.” - Harriet Morris Food addiction vs. sugar addiction. Fat can act as a comfort to us. Harriet gives us one of her Cravings Busters! She doesn’t have weigh-ins with her clients, but she does daily check-ins for goals! We talk about how to get those good feelings OTHER than finding them in food. We take some questions from our Live chat. Go ahead and post in the group when you’ve treated yourself instead of binging! Make a list of non-food comforts for yourself! Harriet also gives us a Slow Eating Game to try, as well! (John took o

In This Episode: Did you listen to last week’s cleaned up trainwreck? That was the brilliant editing of John. We have good news and bad news for this episode: We promised we would have Harriet, The Eating Coach, on with us, but we had to postpone that until the next week. But the good news is, you have another few days to get us your questions for Harriet! Email us: HatetoWeight@gmail.com Emily had a really bad day out of nowhere, and the scale showed. (Please no one do the math to calculate the calories she ate that day.) We have to fail and have setbacks to test how we get back up. Don’t give us snacks as gifts! Do you look at people’s plates when you go to a party and judge them? Those who mind don’t matter; those who matter don’t mind. We’re still waiting for a #WinningWednesday jingle! Thank goodness for #WinningWednesday post. You are all so awesome! Join our the Hate to Weight Discussion Group on Facebook and have fun with us!

In This Episode: JOHN IS AN AMAZING EDITOR! This episode is proof. This was a stressful week (and when we tried to go live and record, the stress got worse). The stress can affect your weight. Dieting is hard when you’re already under stress - food is just one more decision that weighs on us. We also talk about our addictions to food, especially certain types of food. We need to find rewards other than food. Any suggestions for John? We have a guest next week! Emily’s Eating Coach, Harriet Morris, will be on the next episode! Got questions for Harriet?

We are live in the Facebook group Thursdays at 11 a.m. EST Emily’s Mantra this Week (because she seems to have one for every week): You are enough. Emily has started getting into yoga, and her husband is starting to join! We are rejecting the winter, as well. Thank goodness for #WinningWednesday post. You are all so awesome! John has an idea

In This Episode: It’s shark week for Emily! And this week was SO tough! (And there’s some oversharing—sorry!) John also had a tough week and was overwhelmed. We get way off topic and very chatty today! We make a goal to take some time each day to slow down. There were a lot of stressors this week and both of us were in a funk this week, unfortunately. We’re so happy to be able to celebrate the wins in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group! We also talk about smart watches for our Android (out ADHD was really off the charts this week!)

In This Episode: John’s a little salty because his back is sore. Emily finds out that going back to fast food after not having it for so long does not feel great. Sorry! We talk about the Taco Bell menu a bit. Welcome new listeners! We talk about an article about Jillian Michaels poo-pooing the keto diet. Don’t just read the headlines, people!

In This Episode: John’s special lady friend comes to visit and he stays on track, including his Whooshie pill! John sets a goal for losing 100 pounds by December 31, 2019. We are so happy to talk about what helped us lose 61 pounds since April 2018! Reminder: John does Keto and 16/8 Intermittent Fasting; Emily does 16/8 Intermittent Fasting John: Our Facebook Group has been incredible for us with support and accountability. Emily: Getting an eating coach and working through a lot deep down food issues. John: Shame is a motivator. (Positive spin: Taking responsibility.) Emily: Being conscious of my water intake, especially when I *think* I’m hungry. John: Strengthening his Inner Voice. Emily: Asking for help. Emily: Taking a break from yoga pants and wearing jeans with a belt instead. John: Having love in his life who supports him and makes him want to be healthier. Emily: Keeping track of progress. TRUST THE PROCESS! Emily doesn’t see the 40-pound difference in a picture from last year to this year. Wha

In This Episode: This comes out New Year’s Eve! Welcome to you if you are new to the podcast! For those who are new, John does Keto and Intermittent Fasting, Emily does Intermittent Fasting. We talk about eating in our “window” — This is in regards to Intermittent Fasting and the hours during the day we allow ourselves to eat. We both do about 16-8 or 18-6: 16 hours fasting/8 hours of eating or 18 hours fasting/6 hours eating. We recorded this a few days after Christmas and we got on the scale and dealt with the number like champions (sorta). Warning for those who may not like food-talk: We discuss cookies toward the beginning. The Christmas-New Year’s Slump is a challenge for us! John’s special lady is coming! Yay! Emily would love the energy of New Year’s Day at least once a month. John signs up for a meal planning website with recipes and shopping lists to help him with keto. We walk through The Keto Cycle Diet website quiz. With kids and dieting: The Days are Long; The Years/Weeks are Short. We talk abo

In This Episode: It’s Christmas Eve when this episode comes out! Merry Christmas to you! John finds out that too much caffeine is not great for him. We talk about foods to avoid if you have anxiety and depression. Did you know Soy Sauce has gluten in it? John’s still working through his Seasonal Affective Disorder. Which is worse? Keto Flu or Caffeine Withdrawal? It’s Shark Week! Emily is reading an amazing book called “Girl, Wash Your Face.” “What somebody thinks of you is none of your business!” John talks about his most embarrassing podcast moment. We’ve been pretty good with not getting take out! Emily needs to sing a “Winning Wednesdays” clip. Cotton Candy grapes are amazing! We are coming into the week of Christmas and New Years.

In This Episode: We start off the episode singing just a bit (and complaining about the cold temperature). Emily and John are both off of fast food and the drive-thru! It’s making us more creative in the kitchen. Emily FINALLY got her perfect avocado! Who is your inner cook when you’re in the kitchen? High salt, high sugar, high fat = addictive! Our biggest hurdle is ourselves. We discuss the article about top tips from nutrition experts for staying healthy during the holidays. Put the cookie down!

In This Episode: The struggle is real! John’s going through seasonal funk. He did get the Blue Blocker glasses, so we’ll see how that’s helping his sleep. John’s thinking of trying out a new sleep pattern. Emily finds a good way to stay productive: track your day on social media! Instagram profiles: the beautiful storefront; Instagram Stories: the backroom. Take the small wins! Especially when you compare new habits to old ones. Sorry, Pasta, ya basic! John’s also sick of his usual go-to food. A whole chicken in an Instant Pot? Whoa! Emily’s new obsession is ginger and garlic. We get into a futuristic talk about 2019 resolutions. Johnspiration: It’s better to set goals, instead of resolutions! Should we set quarterly goals for next year? Congratulations to everyone for their #WinningWednesday posts!

In This Episode: It’s Thanksgiving while we record, so we’re setting up our plans for the day! We didn’t really have an agenda for the day, so we end up on many tangents. Is a hot dog a sandwich? John did well getting ahead of his cooking! Thank goodness the Jell-O mold craze finally went away. Some trivia talk about cranberries. Also Samoa-lookalike cookies from Aldi are pretty incredible!

In This Episode: Our Halloween post-mortem discussion starts the show to see how we did with probably the biggest candy holiday. What’s your “fun” candy? The inner struggle that comes when candy is around. Some foods is just “fine,” meaning we could take or leave them, but not worth breaking our diets for. John talks about how he was able to make it through Halloween without going for the candy! John has some non-scale victories! Emily has started doing Morning Pages in the morning. Have you tried it? Emily also really likes her meal delivery service. We break down Thanksgiving food to see if it’s really that unhealthy. Celery in stuffing? Yes or no?

We get into tangents about Northeast-style vs. Chicago-style pizza, plus the new bagel emoji! Emily deals with stress over her book release and we talk about how stress affects weight-loss.
