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.

114 ~ 101 Weight Loss Truths XIV
In this episode, I’m walking you through Truths 81 to 84 in our ongoing series of 101 Weight Loss Truths. These four truths are connected by something a lot deeper than food or scales, they’re about awareness, intention, and how you see yourself.
Here’s what I cover in this episode:
🔹 Truth #81: Everybody Intermittent Fasts
You already do it, you just don’t think of it that way. Everyone has an eating window and a fasting window. Even if your eating window is 18 hours long, you’re still technically intermittent fasting. It's just not working for you yet.
🔹 Truth #82: Tightening Your Eating Window Helps
No cold plunges. No skipping meals out of nowhere. Just gradual, manageable shifts in when you eat. I share how I went from a chaotic eating window to a more structured one and why it made all the difference (without needing to eat breakfast ever again, thank you very much).
🔹 Truth #83: You Are Not Your Body — You’re the Thing That Lives Inside It
This one gets personal. I talk about growing up with a disabled parent and how it helped shape my understanding of identity, body image, and the mental traps we fall into when we think our body is who we are.
🔹 Truth #84: Gratitude is a Weight Loss Tool
This isn’t about writing affirmations on a post-it and pretending everything’s fine. Gratitude helps you see what’s working, notice the wins, and hold on when things get tough. It’s not toxic positivity, it’s survival. It keeps you focused, it keeps you motivated, and it will absolutely help set you free.
This episode goes deep, but it also reminds you that you’re in control of more than you think, especially when it comes to your mindset. And yes, we’ll lighten things up a bit next week. Gladys already filed a formal complaint.
