120 ~ The Promise

from Disrupting Obesity · host Charlotte Skanes

Send us Fan MailNine years ago this month, I made a promise. Not a bargain for my life, but a promise to make my second chance worth something.We’re coming off my longest series ever, the 101 Weight Loss Truths, and the response has been incredible. That series started as one episode and turned into eighteen, and now I’m making the full list available to anyone who wants it, for free.But when the series ended, I wasn’t sure what to do next. Normally I’d go to an Ask Whatever episode, but those have shifted to Wednesdays with the launch of Weight Loss Wednesday. That means I had to step out without my usual safety net and talk about something bigger.In this episode, I share the story of the promise I made during my five months in the hospital, and how that moment shaped everything I’ve built since then. From losing the regain, to surviving catastrophic illness, to creating this podcast, my cookbooks, workbooks, and the Flamingo Forum community.It wasn’t survivor’s guilt. It was purpose. The promise wasn’t about surviving. It was about doing something with survival. About changing the conversation around weight loss and creating a safe space for women to do it.That promise is why I show up every week. It’s why I built a private platform, why I answer your questions, and why I keep pushing to make this work as helpful and accessible as possible.If you want to hear the story behind it all, this is the episode.Support the showPlease consider heading to buymeacoffee.com/CharlotteSkanes to show your support.
