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.

115 ~ 101 Weight Loss Truths XV
In this episode, I'm digging into Truths 85 to 89 of the 101 Weight Loss Truths series. Five more uncomfortable but important truths that can change the way you think about weight loss.
Here’s what I cover:
85 – You can lose weight for whatever reason you want
No, really. You don’t need a Gladys-approved noble cause to justify it. If it’s about your jeans, your confidence, or your desire for a thigh gap, go ahead and want that. Your reason is valid.
86 – Loose skin happens but it’s better than the alternative
Let’s stop pretending this isn’t part of the conversation. Yes, loose skin is real. Yes, it can be frustrating. But I promise you, it’s better than the complications of carrying excess weight. I’d never trade my loose skin for the weight I used to carry.
87 – Safety nets help you soar
Rules make us rebel. Safety nets help us fly. I explain how reframing your weight loss ‘rules’ as supportive safety nets gives you freedom instead of resistance. I’m talking practical examples, from eating with the fridge open to meal prepping after stressful phone calls.
88 – Meet yourself where you are
You can’t jump off at the 1200 calorie stop if your train isn’t there. This one’s all about honesty. Real progress starts with knowing where you actually are, not where you wish you were. No more unrealistic overhauls. Just small, honest, sustainable steps.
89 – Tracking a binge is always better than not tracking it
This one’s tough but it’s powerful. Avoiding the number doesn’t make the binge disappear. It just lets guilt and shame spiral out of control. You need a baseline, and you need data. You can’t do better next time if you don’t even know what “better” looks like.
This episode is a mindset shaker so brace yourself, Gladys.
