    Write It Down, Lose the Weight? How Journaling Can Help With Obesity

    Can something as simple as writing things down actually help when it comes to obesity and weight loss? In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, Kate and Isaiah dive into the potential role of journaling in managing obesity, changing eating habits, and understanding our relationship with food. From tracking what we eat and how we feel to recognizing emotional eating, cravings, triggers, and patterns, journaling may offer a simple way to become more aware of the choices we make every day. But is journaling actually useful, or is it just another piece of weight-loss advice that sounds good on paper? Kate and Isaiah share their thoughts, experiences, and opinions on whether putting your thoughts, food, emotions, and struggles into words can help create lasting changes. In this episode, we talk about: • Journaling and obesity • Tracking food and eating habits • Emotional eating and food triggers • Understanding cravings and patterns • Mindful eating and self-awareness • Weight loss and behaviour change • Whether journaling can actually make a difference If you're living with obesity, trying to lose weight, or simply looking for a better understanding of your relationship with food, this conversation may give you something new to think about. 🎙️ Listen, watch, and join the conversation with Kate & Isaiah Living Large.

    You Exercise So Why Isn't the Scale Moving?

    Have you ever stuck to a workout routine, only to wonder why the number on the scale isn't changing? You're not alone. In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we're sharing our thoughts on a recent article that explores why exercise alone may not always lead to weight loss—and why that doesn't mean it's not improving your health. We discuss how weight loss, obesity, fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness are often far more complex than we've been led to believe. As two people living with obesity, we share our personal experiences, opinions, and challenges while talking about the mental side of the journey, the frustration of seeing little change on the scale, and why focusing only on weight can overlook other important health improvements. This isn't medical advice, it's an honest conversation about a topic that affects millions of people every day. 💬 Join the conversation in the comments: Have you ever exercised consistently but struggled to lose weight?

    The Hidden Link Between Income & Obesity

    What if obesity is about more than just personal choices? In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we dive into the hidden connection between income and obesity after reading a recent article exploring how obesity rates continue to vary across different income levels. We discuss why healthier choices aren't always the easiest or most affordable ones and how factors like the cost of food, access to recreation, education, and everyday stress can all play a role. We also explore another major influence that often gets overlooked—advertising. From fast food commercials and social media marketing to oversized portions and constant food promotions, we talk about how the messages we're surrounded by every day can shape our eating habits without us even realizing it. As always, we're not experts—we're sharing our experiences, thoughts, and perspectives as two people living with obesity while trying to make healthier choices. Join the conversation and let us know: Do you think income and advertising have a bigger impact on obesity than most people realize? 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who'd enjoy the discussion. #Obesity #WeightLoss #HealthPodcast #LivingLargePodcast #HealthyLiving #Nutrition #FoodMarketing #IncomeInequality #Lifestyle #Podcast Article https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-obesity-figures-highlight-income.html Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KnIlivinglarge Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000890549876065

    The Genetics of Obesity: Is It More Than Diet and Exercise?

    Is obesity really just about eating less and moving more? Or is there something deeper going on? In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we dive into the growing conversation around the role genetics may play in obesity. New research suggests that some people could be genetically more vulnerable to gaining weight, raising important questions about why weight loss can feel so different from one person to another. We share our personal experiences living in larger bodies and discuss: ✅ Why some people seem to struggle with weight more than others ✅ The frustration of being told it's all about willpower ✅ How genetics, environment, and lifestyle may all work together ✅ Why understanding obesity is more complicated than most people think This isn't a scientific deep dive—it's an honest conversation about what this research means to us and to millions of people who have spent their lives battling their weight.

    Have you ever felt like one small thing completely broke you... even though it wasn't really about that one thing? In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we get a little more emotional than usual as we talk about The Snowball Effect—how stress, setbacks, disappointments, and everyday struggles can quietly build up over time until one seemingly small moment pushes us over the edge. We open up about our own experiences with carrying emotional weight, dealing with life's pressures, and why the breaking point is often much bigger than the event that triggers it. Whether it's health journeys, relationships, work, or simply trying to keep it all together, sometimes the snowball keeps rolling until it becomes impossible to ignore.

    This Is Why One Chip Is Never Enough…

    Are we lacking self-control… or are we being set up to fail? In this episode, we talk about the idea of the “Bliss Point” — the science behind how chips, soda, fast food, and ultra-processed snacks are specifically designed to keep us coming back for more. After reading an article about how food companies engineer products to hit the perfect balance of sugar, salt, and fat, we wanted to have a real conversation about what that means for everyday people trying to live healthier lives. We share our honest opinions on whether the food industry has crossed a line, how much personal responsibility actually plays a role, and why so many people struggle with cravings and overeating in a world where convenience foods are everywhere. This isn’t a lecture — it’s a raw discussion about food addiction, obesity, emotional eating, and how difficult it can be to build healthy habits when some foods are literally designed to be irresistible. We also get into: 🔥 Why “just eat less” isn’t always that simple 🔥 The mental side of cravings and binge eating 🔥 How processed foods affect fullness and satisfaction 🔥 Whether companies should be held accountable 🔥 Our own struggles with junk food and overeating If you’ve ever wondered why stopping at one handful feels impossible, this conversation might change the way you look at food forever. 🎙️ Kate and Isaiah Living Large is a podcast about obesity, health, weight loss, mental health, and navigating life while trying to make lasting changes. #BlissPoint #FoodAddiction #Obesity #WeightLossJourney #ProcessedFood #EmotionalEating #HealthPodcast #JunkFood #FoodScience #WeightLoss The Bliss Point - https://english.mathrubhumi.com/amp/features/specials/food-addiction-decoded-how-chips-cola-and-snacks-are-designed-to-drive-overconsumption-ioin8964 Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KnIlivinglarge Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000890549876065

    The Sugar Tax Debate: Fighting Obesity or Punishing People?

    In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we’re getting real about the sugar tax—and honestly, we’ve got some mixed feelings. On one hand, we understand the goal: reduce obesity, improve health, and maybe push people toward better choices. But on the other… it starts to feel like we’re just making life more expensive for people who are already struggling. Is this actually about helping people live healthier lives, or is it an easy way to put the responsibility back on individuals without fixing the bigger problems—like access, education, and affordability? We talk about whether a tax would’ve changed our own habits, why these policies can feel more like punishment than support, and what might actually make a real difference. This one’s a little more personal, a little more opinionated—and definitely a conversation. 👉 Where do you stand: helpful tool… or unfair hit?

    Did Bullying Make Us Avoid the Gym? The Lasting Impact of Childhood Teasing

    In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we’re having a real and vulnerable conversation about something that doesn’t get talked about enough — how childhood bullying and teasing can follow you into adulthood. Did being picked last in gym class… Getting laughed at during sports… Or being labeled “the fat kid” Shape the way we see fitness today? We’re unpacking how those early experiences may have impacted our confidence, our relationship with movement, and even our weight over time. From avoiding gyms to feeling judged in fitness spaces, we’re sharing how bullying didn’t just hurt in the moment — it may have shaped our motivation for years.

    Joining With Hope, Leaving With Guilt

    We’ve all been there… the excitement of signing up for a gym membership, Weight Watchers, or the next “this will change my life” program — and then the quiet guilt that comes with canceling it. In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we’re unpacking the emotional cycle of hope, hype, pressure, shame, and starting over. Why do we keep signing up? Why does canceling feel like failure? And how do we break the pattern without breaking ourselves? This is an honest conversation about motivation, obesity, mindset, and learning to give ourselves grace while still wanting change.

    Fitness Challenges for Charity: Motivation, Pressure, or Both?

    Are fitness challenges for charity inspiring… or intimidating? In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about fitness fundraisers — from step challenges and 5Ks to workplace competitions and social media pledges. As two people living in larger bodies, we know these events can feel motivating for some and overwhelming for others. Are they truly about community and raising money for a good cause? Or do they sometimes create pressure, comparison, and guilt? We break down: • Why fitness fundraisers are so popular • The emotional side of public challenges • Accessibility for people in larger bodies • Whether they actually build long-term healthy habits • How we think they could be done better If you’ve ever felt inspired — or uncomfortable — by a fitness challenge, this one’s for you. 💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Do fitness challenges motivate you or stress you out? 👍 Like, Subscribe & Share if you enjoy honest conversations about health, obesity, and real life. #FitnessChallenge #Fundraising #LivingLarge #ObesityPodcast #HealthAtEverySize Pushup Challenge -  https://www.thepushupchallenge.ca/fundraiser/katelindean Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KnIlivinglarge Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000890549876065

From step challenges and free gym memberships to “wellness” emails and team fitness competitions… are employers truly trying to support our health? Or are some programs quietly adding pressure, comparison, and unrealistic expectations? As two people living in bigger bodies, we share our honest experiences with workplace wellness programs — what felt supportive, what felt performative, and what completely missed the mark. We also talk about: Do corporate wellness programs actually work? Are they inclusive of obese employees? When does “encouragement” turn into pressure?

    Immigration policy or health discrimination?

    In this episode, we dig into a recent NPR article that explores how health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses could impact immigration and visa decisions in the U.S. We break down the broader implications of these policies, talk honestly about what we agree with, what makes us uncomfortable, and where we think the line between public policy and discrimination starts to blur. As people who live in larger bodies, this conversation hits close to home — and raises big questions about fairness, access, and who gets to decide what makes someone “worthy” of entry. Is this about protecting systems, or excluding people based on health? Where does personal responsibility end and systemic bias begin? 👇 We want to hear from you: Do you think health conditions should affect immigration decisions?

    Ozempic for Less? Generic Versions Hit Canada — Game Changer or Risk?

    Generic versions of Ozempic are becoming available in Canada, and for many people struggling with obesity, this could be a major shift in how weight loss is accessed — or it could raise new concerns. In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we break down what generic Ozempic in Canada actually means. We talk about affordability, accessibility, safety, side effects, and whether these medications are being positioned as a realistic weight-loss tool or just another trend. We also explore the emotional and mental side of weight-loss drugs: hope vs. hype, fear vs. curiosity, and how people living in larger bodies are being impacted by the growing pressure to “medicate” weight loss. This is an honest, real-life conversation — not medical advice — from people navigating these questions in real time. 👇 Join the conversation: Would you consider a generic version of Ozempic for weight loss?

But behind the laughter was a man carrying enormous pressure from Hollywood, the media, and himself. We talk about how fame can amplify insecurities, how health stories get twisted into shame, and what compassion really looks like when we talk about weight and wellness.

We explore how that knowledge shaped his choices, his humour, and the way he connected with people.
