You worked hard to lose weight, and for a while, you were feeling great—lighter, healthier, and in control. But then… life happened. Stress, old habits creeping back in, or maybe just a little too much "I’ll get back on track tomorrow." And before you know it, the scale starts inching up.

​In this week’s episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast​, I sit down with Mary Macdonald to discuss how her weight journey began with the fascination of being thin, a message that was everywhere in the sixties, seventies, and beyond.

As a commercial artist, Mary saw firsthand how the Mad Men-era of advertising shaped the female psyche around weight loss. But more importantly, she shares how she broke free from those outdated narratives, releasing 32 pounds and maintaining her weight loss for months.

Mary’s perspective on life and weight mastery is both inspiring and insightful. If you're looking for real-life strategies to not only release weight but keep it off permanently, this episode is for you!

Let’s dive in together!

Have you ever noticed how a bout of illness can throw your weight management journey off course? When we’re feeling unwell, it’s easy to abandon the healthy habits we’ve worked so hard to build.

Maybe it’s the fatigue that makes balanced meal planning feel impossible or the cravings for comfort foods that soothe in the moment but don’t align with our long-term goals. Or perhaps it’s the disruption to our routines—less movement, more rest, and the emotional toll of not feeling our best.

In this week’s episode of Thin Thinking, we’re diagnosing these common struggles that arise when illness strikes. You’ll learn:

• Why our mindset shifts when we’re sick and how it impacts food and self-care choices.

• The role of emotional eating during times of vulnerability.

• Powerful strategies and mindset tools to stay connected to your health goals—even when you’re under the weather.

This episode isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding practical solutions that honor your healing process while staying true to your long-term wellness journey. Whether you’re feeling great or currently battling the sniffles, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you maintain momentum.

So, grab that cozy blanket and tune in! Your health journey deserves care, even during those tougher moments.
