Disrupting Obesity
The Disrupting Obesity podcast is for anyone who’s looking to lose an extreme amount of weight and change their relationship with food so they can keep the pounds off. If you’re tired of feeling judged for being fat, of excluding yourself or being left out, and using food to comfort, reward, and cope with your emotions and the day to day, don’t waste time beating yourself up. You absolutely have what it takes to lose a significant amount of weight naturally in a way that you can sustain and that will ensure you keep the weight off too.
Hosted by Charlotte Skanes, a weight loss coach who lost and is keeping off over two hundred pounds, this show will give you the strategies and mindset you need to drop the weight. It’s going to encourage you and motivate you so that you can build the confidence and self-belief to find the healthiest version of yourself. It’s not about the food. It’s about your relationship with food. Once you start to change that relationship you can start disrupting obesity.

098 Gratitude and Weight Loss
For today’s episode, I was prompted by a request from my Flamingo Forum to speak on gratitude, and with the upcoming milestone of my 100th episode, I thought it was fitting to explore the complex relationship between gratitude and weight loss. Especially with how these two things are more connected than you might think. Gratitude isn't always shiny or simple. Sometimes it’s overwhelming, messy, and tied up in feelings of worthiness. Learning how to actively feel grateful, can be a powerful tool on your journey, especially when it comes to sustainable weight loss. Tune in to hear more about:
• Why holding the “high card” in trauma can feel isolating, and how I try not to marginalize others’ experiences.
• The emotional aftermath of returning home after five months in the hospital.
• How gratitude can become a grounding force, even in the chaos.
• What “making it worth it” really looks like.
• Why small wins, like less mayo or fewer cookies, matter and how they add up.
• How to feel grateful to yourself for better choices, not just to others.
• Using gratitude as a lifeline when weight loss feels frustrating or impossible.
• The difference between sweeping big changes and the quiet power of small, consistent ones.
Gratitude isn't just for the good days, it’s for the hard ones too. It's one of the most overlooked tools in losing weight and I hope this episode can bring you inspiration and fresh perspective. Let’s talk about how to use gratitude to our advantage! So keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated, and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!
