In this episode, I discuss the difference in saying, "weight loss," and "fat loss," and consider how media is linked with health and wellness. Corporate media is junk food, and they're selling us stories. Why did people go after Monsanto, but not CNN? Why do we fear change, and can we ever become better versions of ourselves?

Like having a few drinks now and then but aren't sure how to do it and maintain calorie goals? Here's a few tips and tricks. Always drink responsibly and designate a driver. Get an Uber or a Lyft. Walk. Or get a cab, if you're desperate. Someone out there loves you and depends on you, and a lot can change in an instant. And please note, this is no way intended to be any kind of clinical advice.

Can we be as ideological with diet and exercise as we can with politics? MERCH: https://shirtoffyourbackaz.com/product-category/shirts/ PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/shirtoffyourback WM STATEMENT: https://mrwinstonmarshall.medium.com/why-im-leaving-mumford-sons-e6e731bbc255

In many ways, we've shifted from inculcation to responsibility, to inoculation from responsibility. If you're trying to lose weight, weighing yourself regularly isn't optional, it's necessary. So, what happens when you refuse follow rules, or at least, helpful advice? Why do we spend so much time arguing about rules and reviewing things, and increasingly less time playing the game? The fairest truth of all is unpredictability, and it might be that your best bet is to play the game to the best of your ability, regardless of what the referees do.

Boredom is a gift. In a world that seems to constantly demand your attention, give yourself the gift of boredom. It means you lead an otherwise fulfilling life. And boredom actually gives your brain time to process, slow down, and daydream. "An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered."

In this episode, I discuss ways in which everything, including your diet, is a negotiation. This concept is underscored by highlighting the value of arguing in relationships. Just as understanding and negotiating with yourself is important in weight loss, arguing and understanding your needs in a relationship is important.
