Episode 19: Diet Lies and Permission to Eat the Pie and Skip the Guilt

Holiday diet ads are everywhere—SlimFast nostalgia, Dexatrim memories, “cheat meals,” detoxes, and the new wave of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. In this candid conversation, Kim and Rachel reflect on disordered dieting patterns, why “I’ll start again in January” keeps us stuck, and how to trade short-term control for long-term peace. We talk joyful eating, setting healthy boundaries with body-commenting relatives, and simple, practical tips to enjoy the season (yes, pants that pull on count). We also share concerns about GLP-1 injectables and knockoffs—urging listeners to work with medical professionals, do their research, and remember their worth isn’t measured by a scale. If you want a saner, kinder holiday around food, this episode is your warm, real-talk reset.
