FGT 58: What If Common Sense Isn’t Common, But Compassion Is
mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Duration 44:36
Hunger flips like a switch on GLP-1 meds—one minute you’re fine, the next you need a burger now—and pretending that isn’t real doesn’t help anyone. We get candid about what mindful eating looks like when the cue hits late, how tracking with ruthless honesty (yes, the handful of cashews on the scale) can steady the week, and why consistency beats guilt every time. From a 15-day logging streak to building an at-home advent workout plan with baked-in rest days, we’re choosing small, repeatable wins over perfect promises.
The bariatric program looms large: orientation, forms, mental health timelines, and rules that stretch into forever. Knowing the steps isn’t the same as living them, and that gap explains so much of the frustration. We talk about losing over 100 pounds and still seeing “class three” on a chart, the mismatch between progress and labels, and how a full-length seated mirror can shock you back into reality. There’s the sensory piece too—excess sweat, fabric, and anxiety feeding each other—and the medical fog: old scans misread as new, long waits, and the creeping fear that everything will be blamed on weight.
We also make room for curiosity and chaos. Bat nipples in armpits. Platypus milk through skin. Why “stale green” isn’t obvious until someone teaches it. City bike lanes that work only if everyone follows the same rules, whether you ride or drive. And then the holidays: Tim Hortons smile cookies, peppermint snowballs, whipping shortbread, and a tiny guest singing Jingle Bells. Money’s tight, trees are optional, but connection is non-negotiable. Our plan is simple: track what we eat, move in ways our bodies can handle, keep curiosity high, and choose compassion when “common sense” runs out.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge without judgment, and leave a review to help others find us. Got a small win for December? Tell us—we’ll cheer you on.

FGT 57: Back After A Long Pause
lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Duration 46:20
The mic comes back on and we don’t ease in—we tell the truth. A cosy Christmas village spins in the background while we unpack a year that bent our capacity, stalled our schedule, and still pushed us toward braver choices. We decide to keep the show alive with a slower cadence, not out of defeat, but because sustainability is a skill worth practising.
The heart of the conversation is a major health update: approval into a bariatric surgery program with a likely date within the next year. We dig into the fear that rides shotgun—fear of death, fear of change, fear of lifelong rules—and the hope that keeps us moving. This isn’t an easy way out; it’s a structured, demanding path with supplements, labs, hydration, and habits that compound over time. Alongside that comes the messy reality of weight stigma and access: Saxenda costs spike, insurance falls short, a switch to Wegovy helps, and Vyvanse quiets binge urges and ADHD‑fuelled food noise in surprising ways.
We also name what many avoid. Borderline personality disorder shows up as people pleasing, conflict avoidance, and a fragile sense of self. Therapy helps and sometimes hurts; progress isn’t linear. We talk about stepping back from social media for mental health, planning to document the bariatric journey on YouTube with safer comment boundaries, and finding small joys—sourdough starters, cranberry‑brie pull‑apart bread, and a child’s sticky‑sweet cameo—that make the hard days softer. There’s a candid story about foot pain, a podiatrist’s nod that stings, and a physio’s reframing that reminds us weight can be a factor without being the whole story.
If you’ve felt unseen by healthcare, wrestled with food noise, or needed permission to slow down without giving up, this one’s for you. Listen, share with a friend who needs a compassionate nudge, and leave a rating or review so more people can find these conversations. Subscribe to catch the bariatric prep series and our year‑end wrap as we rebuild a kinder rhythm together.

FGT 51: The Journey to Self-Compassion in a World of $15 Strawberries
samedi 15 mars 2025 • Duration 43:38
Ready to ditch restrictive diets and discover what actually works for sustainable weight loss? This episode dives deep into the real-world strategies making a difference in our lives.
We're exploring the power of volume eating—a game-changing approach that's transformed how we think about meals. Instead of tiny portions that leave you unsatisfied, we're loading up plates with nutrient-dense vegetables alongside our favorite flavors. Chris shares how she transformed a small portion of leftover lamb korma into a filling meal by adding zucchini and mushrooms, keeping the satisfaction without the excessive calories.
The conversation takes an honest turn as we discuss the challenges of weekday discipline versus weekend temptations. How do you handle social events, pizza nights, and those moments when you just want ice cream? We're finding practical solutions, including strategic use of deep freezers to store occasional treats (while saving money on delivery fees) and adjusting medication timing to manage appetite during vulnerable periods.
You'll hear about our experiments with smaller utensils to slow down eating, setting personalized calorie targets with healthcare professionals, and the unexpected benefits of consistent water intake—including how an ice machine became a surprising catalyst for better hydration.
This episode offers refreshing candor about the struggles we face and the small victories keeping us motivated. Whether you're just starting your health journey or looking for new strategies to try, you'll walk away with actionable ideas that don't involve punishment or deprivation. Join us for this honest conversation about finding healthier relationships with food in a world of $15 strawberries and constant temptation.
