0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:36.599
<v Speaker 1>did you and die out? Welcome back to Outweigh So

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>excited to be back for another episode. Hey Amy, Hey,

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 1>happy Saturday. So this topic today is something that I've

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>been thinking about as I've been listening to my own

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>body and we're recording this in the fall. It's becoming

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty cold here in New York. I don't know what

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>temperatures are like over there in Tennessee, Amy, but it's

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>getting colder pretty much wherever you live, and what I'm

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>craving is starting to change. How about you? Yeah, I

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>am enjoying betternut squash soup. I have had tons of

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>sweet potatoes. I want things that are warm and kind

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of rudy. I'm enjoying a lot more bread and things

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that are very filling, like hardy. They feel more hardy.

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I love smoothies, but I haven't really had a smoothie

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of weeks, and so that's just

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a shift that I've personally seen in my own eating.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>What's it like to be able to honor that after

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you know your history of green juice is no matter what,

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and salads and all that. I mean, honestly, the first

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>thing that comes to mind is just like a sigh

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of relief. Like I feel like I could just take

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a big inhale and exhale right now, and that would

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>explain how I feel, because it's nice to just be

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>able to go with the flow. And while what we're

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about right now is seasonal, but it really could

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>be a metaphor too for how I handle meals with friends.

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I just had a dinner the other night and kind

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>of what we had planned on ordering fell through last minute.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>We had to pivot and do something else, and it

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was not stressful. I like flowed into kind of like

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>how you flow into new seasons. I flew into the

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>new menu no problem, and that I think is what

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>represents like I just I had to honor what was

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>happening in that moment and just go with it and

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of listen to what I was craving and what

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>sounded good to me even though it threw me. And

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like, now that I'm in recovery, I

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>can listen to my body similarly with the seasons when

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it's colder outside, I can, you know, evaluate things, what

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>am I craving and not be thrown off by it

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and just select whatever feels good to me in the moment.

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>And So the conversation that I was having with myself,

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>as I normally have conversations with myself, is this idea

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>that we as humans act like we are not part

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>of our environment, and we are very much a part

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of our environment for survival and biological reasons. There's going

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to be fluctuations as seasons change, as time goes on,

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to our bodies and to our desires. So first thing

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I just want to tackle here is the topic of

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>weight fluctuations during seasons. And I think weight fluctuations in general,

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>when we talk about them, we don't really think about

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>things outside of, oh, why am I gaining weight? Did

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I eat too much? And we label that as a

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>bad thing, But we actually gain weight during the colder

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>months for really good reason, and it's for our bodies

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to protect us. But because we think that we're so

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>static that we should weigh you know, a hundred something

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>pounds or two hundred something pounds or three hunt whatever

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>your static number is, that you think that it should

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>stay at that exact number all the time. Is failing

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to realize how we're interacting with our environment in a

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>way that's really supportive to our bodies. It's only because

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>we have viewed ourselves as being static do we label

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 1>a weight change up as bad. And um, I think

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>that really can throw us for a loop and not

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>being able to honor what our bodies are wanting. So,

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you're creaving the butternut squash soup, the

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>sweet potatoes, breads, me too, And I wanted to kind

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>of discuss why that happens and remove the blame for

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>our listeners if they have gone up a couple of

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>pounds over this holiday season, and take the blame off

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>of them and because they overdid it at Thanksgiving, you know,

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.799
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. I want them to realize that bodies

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>do fluctuate and therefore start to detach themselves from that

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>number so that they can continue to honor where their

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>body is guiding them. Does that make sense, Yes, very

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>much so. The fact is different foods are available per

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>different season, and how we personally store those foods, that energy,

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.679
<v Speaker 1>how we use it, it all changes. And while science

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have this all figured out, we know that there's

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>a phenomenon that's happening, which is most mammals are gaining

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>weight to some degree during the colder months. And the

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>idea is is that we're doing that in anticipation of

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>our environmental demands. So the seasons are changing, and our

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>bodies might even be a little bit premature to change

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>with it, so that we are protected for the change

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that's coming, meaning we might gain a little bit of

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.559
<v Speaker 1>weight naturally in a maybe positive way, if we didn't

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>have this idea that wegain is purely bad. To protect

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>us in many ways. To keep us warm is the

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if we boil it down to evolution to

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>keep us warm during those months. Yeah, I mean if

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you're in a healthy perspective with it. Well, I say

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>healthy in air quotes, but like if you're mentally in

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the right mindset where you can hear this and see

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the wegain is a good thing, Like you could honor

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and thank your body for doing what it's supposed to

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>be doing to help keep you safe. So again going back,

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>like we're part of our environment, but we act like

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>we're not right, Like we eat foods completely out of

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>season because we have bioengineered to either make them available

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>for us or we you know, can ship them in

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>from other places. But we are or we should be

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>in sync with our surroundings. We should be craving amy

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the butternut squash because that's what can be grown right now,

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and being part of that system is really cool, and

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's something that has been completely cut out

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>of the conversation and what it means to be healthy,

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>because you know, again growing up for me, it was

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>like what's the healthy option, cold salad, raw foods. But

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>in fact, the foods that your body can better digest,

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that you can enjoy might be the things that are

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more hardy. Uh. They might contain more

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>vitamins and minerals that are protective for you during the

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>cold seasons, to protect you against cold and flu and

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe even COVID who knows, you know. So there's so

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>many different elements to why we may be craving those

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>arch ear or more complex foods in a good way.

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I like that you mentioned about the you know, being

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>able to eat what's in season, and shipping and all

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the different things that the future has given us and

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>technology and engineering certain foods during different times of the year.

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Like back in the day, you don't have that. No,

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you could eat what you could grow in that season,

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.799
<v Speaker 1>and you got what you got. And you also needed

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>to eat certain things, yes, to protect yourself and keep

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>yourself warm, so simpler times, you know, exactly, And it's

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>more than even just like the shipping, you know, the

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>way we store food, from frozen foods to canned goods.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>We kind of progressed technologically a lot more quicker than

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>we did biologically. Does that make sense? Our food advanced

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>more quickly than our than our bodies can register. Oh hey,

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>we don't need as much extra body fat because we

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>wear coats now, you know, things like that. But nonetheless,

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it's so cool that our bodies have our back in

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>this way. And if we stay away from the idea

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that our weight is one static number, we can allow

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>for some fluctuations and be okay with them. Now, I'm

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>not encourage anybody listening to way themselves and you know say, okay,

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>but I'm getting five pounds, ten pounds, fifteen pounds. I'm

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>not saying that at all, But I'm saying, if you're

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>noticing your body is changing during the winter months, maybe

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>just take the quote unquote blame that has been put

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>on you off of you so that you can start

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to work in part of a bigger system. Because there's

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>also a lot of peace, gratitude, and mindfulness that stems

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>from eating foods that are available to that specific season.

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>You said peace, gratitude, mindfulness, I'm going to add satisfaction

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>into that, because yeah, you're you're going to be more satisfied.

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>And I say this as someone that spent many a

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>winter's downing super cold green juice like because that is

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>what I thought I needed to do, and I wasn't

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>listening to my body, and I wasn't able to enjoy

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>certain things that were around that probably would have offered

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>me so much comfort. Instead, I was chasing comfort in

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>something that was labeled by society standard to make me happier,

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to make my life better, to make my life easier,

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to be more convenient. When really, and again, green juice

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>is not bad. It's not the enemy. It was how

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I was treating green juice. I had it on a pedestal,

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>as like, this is the one thing I have to

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>have every single day, even when it's freezing cold outside.

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>And maybe I'm really craving a big bowl of oatmeal,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Like I didn't give myself that because nope, that's not

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>what I eat for breakfast. I drink green juice for breakfast.

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So I wasn't very good at listening to my body

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and honoring it. And so once I threw some of

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that out the window and I was able to adopt

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>this mindset, I then had the satisfaction I was chasing

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.439
<v Speaker 1>all along. Yes, beautiful. When we recognize that our body's

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 1>weight or body size might fluctuate seasonally, we could also

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>use that as a tool to comfort ourselves when we

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>start to feel panicked that we are gaining weight. So,

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>rather than disrupting your relationship to food or exercise, which

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you've worked so hard to establish and be in tune to,

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>can you put your hand over your heart on your belly,

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>take a deep breath and say, this is a normal fluctuation.

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes my weight fluctuates up, sometimes it fluctuates down. And

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm also part of an environment. The last thing I

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>just want to mention with all of this is you

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>also might be craving sugar more in these winter months.

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>And again I want to say, you're not broken. Amy

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 1>and I talked about this a lot, but sugar need

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to digest. Simple carbohydrates are going to produce the hormone serotonin,

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.479
<v Speaker 1>the neurotransmitter into your brain. Serotonin is that happy hormone.

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And one of the reasons for this could also possibly

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>be that with season changes, a lot of people experience

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>sad or different levels of depression. Because we're outdoors less,

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>we're getting less vitamin D. So when is the last

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>time that you picked up something sweet that you really

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted and said, how would this make me feel? Mentally?

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And allowed a food, a high sugar food, whatever, it is,

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a treat, a candy, whatever. So what would it feel

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like to really stop for a second and ask yourself

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>what do I want? And perhaps it's that sugar, that cake,

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that candy, and ask yourself, how would this elevate my mood?

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And if the answer is this is going to make

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>me feel really happy, what would it feel like to

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>be free of those labels and allow yourself to consume

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that food and know that you're benefiting your mind and

0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.199
<v Speaker 1>your mental state without the drama of bringing in ever

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>loaded relationship to that food you may have had prior, right,

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>because then when you bring in the drama, that's when

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the food brings you down, and it does the opposite

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of like you think it's gonna make you happy, but

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>then you have all the drama attached, and then five

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>minutes after you eat it, you have the guilt and

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the your You know it brought you down. But yes,

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean food can bring you joy, It can bring

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you up. It can bring you happiness, regardless of what

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>we've been told for so long that we have to

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>earn this food or if you eat that you have

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to be punished for it in some way and you

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>have to go run or feel bad about yourself. Like

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I was given that messaging all the

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>time growing up, and even as an adult, I still

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>hear it, but now I'm aware to it and I

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>shut it out. It's like fork the noise, shout out, Lisa.

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I have to fork the noise and shut it out.

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Because that is a very common saying, like of like

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>oh I can't eat it, or oh I'm gonna eat this,

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.959
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to run later. Oh I just eat

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a cookie. I can't even believe it. Or I said

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that stuff in front of people. But then once you

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>get in a better place and I don't call people

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>out on it anymore. I'm not trying to be I'm

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>not that annoying person. I'm not going to be a

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>part of that conversation anymore. I'm not going to feed

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>into that any longer because I know that I can

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 1>get joy from a piece of cake and I can

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>get joy from a cookie. But now I have a

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>healthy enough relationship to decide when that's going to be

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and when it's not. Yes, I love that. So if

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>your weight is changing, if your body is fluctuating, if

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.280
