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.

113 ~ 101 Weight Loss Truths XIII
In this episode, I’m digging into Weight Loss Truths 77 through 80 and this one’s for anyone who’s ever talked down to themselves over a slice of pizza or who thinks Monday is the only day that counts.
Here’s what I cover in this episode:
77. You have to change the way you talk to yourself about food
If the words “cheat,” “treat,” or “junk” are in heavy rotation, this one’s for you. Language matters. The way you talk to yourself about food is often just a mirror of how you talk to yourself in general and I want to help you spot it and shift it.
78. You have to change the way you think about food
If pizza still feels like a moral failing and kale feels like penance, we need to talk. You’re not going to get anywhere sustainable if your thoughts around food are still swinging between punishment and reward. I’m not aiming for food euphoria here I just want you to get to food neutrality.
79. Weigh yourself once a week
Yes, I said it. Once. A. Week. Not daily. Not “whenever you feel curious.” The scale can help or it can destroy your motivation, depending on how often you’re stepping on it.
80. Do it on a Wednesday
Wednesdays don’t carry the emotional baggage that Mondays do, and they give your body time to recover from weekend sodium overload. It's the most emotionally and physiologically neutral day of the week so let's give poor little Monday a break and make Wednesday your weigh-in day.
This episode is all about self-talk, mindset, and finding a rhythm that actually works for you — without letting food or the scale ruin your week.
Listen to this episode if:
- You’re caught in a guilt/shame spiral with food
- You weigh yourself constantly and feel discouraged
- You still think of food as “good” or “bad”
- You want a more sustainable (and sane) way to approach weight loss
Mentioned in this episode:
