SE02 EP07 - Who watches the Weight Watchers?

from Sourdough Modernity · host StringFellow Hawke

**Who Watches the Weight Watchers?**I've spent most of my life overweight.The man boobs. The gut. The awkward shirt changes in gym class. The constant feeling of trying to hide parts of myself. Recently, I looked back at my weight data and realized something surprising: in 2015 I was bouncing between 195 and 197 pounds, and today I'm 188. After more than a decade of trying, I haven't moved the needle nearly as much as I thought.But there's another side to the story.Last December I got down to 178.5 pounds. After a heart attack last July at 197 pounds, I was forced to take a hard look at my health and my habits. In this episode, I talk about the simple formula that actually works for me: overnight oats, homemade salads, portion control, calorie tracking, and staying out of restaurants.No gimmicks. No magic supplements. No secret hacks.Just a plan that works—if I stick to it.I also share how reading *How to Win Friends and Influence People* has me thinking differently about mindset, positivity, and helping others. Because maybe this journey isn't just about losing weight. Maybe it's about becoming the kind of person who can encourage someone else who's struggling too.The journey begins again.

Old Fashioned On Purpose Jill Winger We’ve gained a lot from modern life—but we’ve also lost something along the way. We’re more disconnected from our food, our hands, our communities, and the skills that once made everyday life feel grounded. On the Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast, bestselling author Jill Winger explores what’s still worth keeping from the old ways—and how to make it work in real life now. Expect conversations about from-scratch food, old-fashioned skills, entrepreneurship, home, land, and what it means to build a meaningful life without turning it into another impossible ideal. Religion Today - for iPad/Mac/PC The Open University Religion is a powerful force in today’s world, as almost any newspaper or news broadcast will make clear. Inextricably linked with nationalism, popular culture, social norms and the lives of individuals, it touches almost every area of public and private life. This course examines many of the most exciting and controversial issues in religion today, including the impact of globalisation/Evangelicalism, feminism and environmentalism, and whether secularisation might mean the eventual death of religious practices and institutions, or whether New Age, Wicca and other alternative spiritualities might become the new face of post-modern religion. This material is taken from The Open University Course AD317 Religion today: tradition, modernity and change.
