Thin Thinking Podcast

Have you ever started a weight loss journey feeling all fired up and ready to go, and then somewhere along the way, the sparkle wore off? The meals start feeling a little repetitive, exercise becomes a bit of a chore, the scale isn't giving you the applause you were hoping for, and suddenly your weight release journey feels like one big case of the blahs. And that, my friend, is often when old habits start quietly knocking at the door. In this episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, we're taking a look under the lid of weight loss boredom—because there may be a lot more going on under there than you think.

What if one of the biggest secrets to long-term Weight Mastery isn't making better decisions all day long—but making fewer decisions in the first place? Over the years, I've realized that so much of what keeps me healthy and maintaining my weight isn't willpower. It's sequencing. One thing cues the next, the next thing cues the next, and eventually those healthy patterns become so familiar that I barely have to think about them. In this episode, I'm taking you inside my morning routine—and we'll look at the science of habit and automaticity, how old Weight Struggle sequences get wired in without us realizing it, and how you can begin creating simple new sequences that support your health, your Inner Coach, and your long-term Weight Mastery. Come on in! ​Join Our Live Fall 2026 Shift Weight Mastery Process​ ​ ​In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why 43% of what you do every day is running on autopilot—and why "Why am I doing this again?" is usually a well-practiced path, not a character flaw Why the "21 days to a habit" rule isn't real, what the research actually found, and why missing a day doesn't undo a thing How to pack your anchors instead of your whole routine when you travel—and why "everything falls apart on vacation" is about missing cues, not missing discipline Links Mentioned in the Episode: Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a binge thinking, Why am I doing this again? I know better than this. That question can carry a lot of shame. But what if binge eating isn't really about knowing better? What if it has much more to do with the way your brain has learned to find comfort, relief, escape, or even rebellion through food? In this episode, I'm sharing five powerful mind shifts that can completely change the way you understand binge eating—and, more importantly, the way you respond when an urge shows up. We're going to look at why binging is often more about wiring than weakness, why fighting yourself can actually keep the cycle going, and how small shifts in the way you think can begin putting you back in the driver's seat.

Tomorrow I turn 62, and this birthday feels a little different because I realized something that honestly stopped me in my tracks: I have now maintained my ideal weight for 31 years—exactly half my life. And considering the first 31 years included dieting, binge eating, bulimia, smoking, starting over, and a whole lot of wondering, "What is wrong with me?"… that feels pretty remarkable. But what I've learned is that long-term Weight Mastery didn't happen because I finally found the perfect diet or became spectacularly disciplined. It happened in layers: changing my mind, stepping out of the Weight Struggler identity, becoming an Apprentice, developing actual skills, building a life that could support the person I was becoming, and learning how to come back to myself when life got messy. So in this week's birthday episode, I'm peeling back those layers and sharing what 31 years of maintenance has actually taught me. Because the thing I'm most grateful for today isn't simply that I released 40 pounds and kept it off. It's that I released the struggle—and weight is no longer the main character in my life.

What if the money you're already spending every month could take you somewhere you never thought you could afford to go? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Kelly Butler, The Points Maven. She's helped her clients book over $700,000 in free travel using credit card points, without carrying interest or hurting their credit scores. We talk about how a health crisis changed her relationship to "someday" travel, and what that shift made possible. She walks through the exact strategy she used to book that trip, and how she now helps her own clients do the same thing. Come on in! After booking $700K+ in free travel + hundreds of credit card recommendations... The #1 question Kelly gets: "What's the best travel credit card right now?" But - that's actually the wrong question. It's not a one-size-fits-all and the best card is all about your existing household or business spending, your travel goals, and where you fall on the Bougie Scale! Cut the guesswork and get your card recommendation with The Perfect Card Quiz. Take the Quiz In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why asking "how could I make this possible?" opens doors that "I can't afford this" keeps shut What actually affects your credit score when you open a new card Why the goal is finding the right card for you, not the "best" card out there Links Mentioned in the Episode: Take Kelly's free quiz to find your best travel credit card match: quiz.thepointsmaven.com Follow Kelly on Instagram: @thepointsmaven Email Kelly directly: [email protected] Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."
