Today, I want you to take five big steps back with me. We're stepping away from the scales, away from what you ate yesterday, and away from the "gym-for-pizza" trades you've been making. If you've been dieting for 20 years and you're heavier today than when you started, something is fundamentally wrong. I'm talking about why your "compensatory behaviours" are actually adding weight on and how to finally stop the slow-motion waste of your life.Topics Covered:The Global Clan: Why people in 98 countries are tuning into the Munro Method.The 5-Step Back Rule: How to see your life as a whole instead of a series of food choices.Compensatory Behaviours: Why "earning" your food with exercise is keeping you 15 stone.The Financial Reality: Why you can't "spend" what you haven't "saved" in your diet.Dieting into a bigger body: The shocking truth about Weight Watchers and Slimming World cycles.The 20-Year Lightbulb Moment: When do you finally decide that the "dieting shit" isn't working?If you're one of my listeners in an "unusual" location, drop me a DM on Instagram! And please, take a moment to rate and review the show—it helps us reach the next 98 countries.Send me your question or feedback

In today's episode, I'm sharing Week 3 of this very personal series where I'm documenting grief alongside my health and weight loss journey. Normally, we talk about fitness, mindset, and taking practical steps forward—but this series is about what happens when life hits hard and everything feels shaken. I lost my dad recently after years of dementia, and this episode is recorded just after laying him to rest. I talk openly about the funeral, the emotions that surprised me, the moments of laughter mixed with sadness, and the experience of saying goodbye in a way that felt deeply human, imperfect, and real. Dementia is cruel. It doesn't just affect one person—it changes families, routines, plans, and futures. For years, it quietly controlled our lives, and now there's space where that constant pressure once lived. In this episode, I reflect on what that space feels like, and how I'm beginning to steady myself again. Because even in grief, I know one thing to be true: change doesn't happen without action. With Lent beginning, I share what I'm choosing to stop doing—not coffee, not chocolate—but the habit of finding reasons not to move my body. I'm committing to moving three times a week for at least 30 minutes and writing it down, without worrying about perfection. Walking, classes, fresh air, even walking up to the cemetery to say hello to my dad—all of it counts. This episode is messy, emotional, and unfinished—and that's exactly the point. I invite you to reflect on your own journey and ask yourself: What could you do for your health that doesn't need to look perfect? What small action could you take, even if life feels chaotic? Where might you be waiting for the “right time” instead of taking a step now? Grief doesn't come with rules, timelines, or neat edges. Neither does progress. If you're navigating loss, feeling stuck, or struggling to find your footing again, I hope this episode reminds you that it's okay to move forward while still hurting—and that doing something imperfectly is still doing something. I'll be back for Week 4 to share how things are settling and how this commitment to movement is going. Thank you for listening. Thank you for holding space for my dad's memory. And thank you for being here with me.

  This week has been heavy. While there's been a desire to focus on many things, planning food and movement simply hasn't felt possible — and that's been part of the reality. Ironically, the intention behind recording these six weeks was to build momentum and gently shift habits. But grief has its own pace, and this week made that very clear. The weight of it is real, and it doesn't follow plans. Rather than investing in stories about how this period should feel or what's expected, I've chosen to tell myself a different story about the grief I'm experiencing. Not because it removes the pain — but because sitting under a dark cloud and letting it take over doesn't feel like a choice I'm willing to make. In this episode, I share how I'm simplifying food by ordering online to make quick, nourishing meals easier, and why that matters right now. I also talk about turning to art as a release — christening the easel and allowing creativity to hold some of what words can't. I reflect honestly on noticing patterns of addictive behaviour, how the idea of wine began to feel like comfort, and why I made the decision to keep no wine in the house during this time. This episode is about gentleness, awareness, and choosing care — even when everything feels heavy. In this episode: Navigating food when energy and motivation are low Letting go of expectations around grief Creating simple systems to support nourishment Using art as an emotional outlet Recognising and responding to addictive patterns Making conscious choices during a vulnerable week

I'm sharing something deeply personal. January is often filled with talk of fresh starts and motivation — but real life doesn't always follow that script. Over the last few weeks, my family has been living through the realities of dementia, loss, and grief, and I wanted to speak honestly about what that has meant for my health, my mindset, and my relationship with food. This episode isn't about perfection. It's about compassion, steadiness, and choosing not to abandon yourself when life feels overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about: Living through dementia and the loss of my dad The emotional weight of care, advocacy, and grief Why binge eating didn't return — even during intense stress Letting go of shame around weight gain Gentle, realistic intentions instead of pressure How creativity  supports me right now Why health still matters — even (and especially) in grief If you've experienced dementia, loss, or a season where everything feels heavier than usual, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone.

In today's episode, I'm sharing an update I never thought I'd be able to say out loud: it's now around four years since I last ate chocolate, cakes or sweets. I'm talking about where my binge eating started, how sugary foods became my comfort and my reward, and why nothing I tried could touch those cravings for long. I walk you through the turning point during my hypnotherapy training – the deep emotional release that shook my whole body, the work we did on repressed fear, and the specific hypnosis that made chocolate and sweets taste unbearably sweet. From that point on, I simply couldn't eat them in the same way again, and my relationship with food began to shift for good. I also share honestly about choosing to take the Mounjaro jab in 2025 . I explain what it did to my hunger and “food noise”, the side effects I noticed when I increased my dose, the weight I lost, and why I decided to come off it before reaching a final goal weight. This episode is for anyone who feels ruled by cravings, is curious about hypnosis, or worries what life looks like after stopping a weight loss jab.   Get the first 3 modules of “Ease Your Mind” mini-course now for FREE https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/Ease-your-mind

  As we head towards December, today's episode leans into something many of us are feeling right now: that pull toward more — more deals, more shopping, more pressure, more to-do lists. And yet, beneath all of that, what most of us actually want is much simpler… we want ease. In this episode, I'm talking about the emotional side of Black Friday season, why clutter and chaos in our surroundings often mirror what's happening in our minds, and how easy it is to slip into old habits when life feels heavy. I'm also sharing some very personal updates about my dad's health, the anger I've had to process, and the steps I've taken to protect my own wellbeing during an incredibly stressful few weeks. I've created something new to support anyone who feels mentally overloaded, unfocused, stuck, or simply tired of carrying everything alone: Ease Your Mind — a gentle, simple introduction to hypnosis, with the first three modules completely free. https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/Ease-your-mind It's designed to help you switch off, calm the noise, settle your emotions and finally feel that sense of mental space you've been craving. If you've ever said: “My head's not in it.” “I want to lose weight but I can't focus.” “Stress keeps throwing me off track.” “I don't sleep well and the cravings hit hard.” …this episode is for you.

After a nasty fall in the garden and a looming operation with added risk due to weight, sleep apnoea and breathing issues, Stephen made a decision. With a nudge from his wife, he walked into our local Slimming World group at 25st 4lb—and everything started to shift. In this chat we cover the real stuff: losing identity after giving up rugby, the stop–start attempts, the “still think fat” moments even as the clothes sizes drop, and the power of a room that claps for your wins (and your wobbles). This is a first for Slimming Stories, I met Stephen at my local Slimming World Group that Wray Annabel had inherited from Sue Redfern, both amazing Slimming World Consultants. Stephen talks about the support he's felt and why weekly accountability beat “I'll do it myself” plans. If you've tried to get back on plan before, drifted, and need a simple proof that consistency + community works. If you've ever felt “I still look the same” while everyone else notices your progress—this one's for you.

  In today's episode, I'm joined by Lisa Taylor from Ontario, Canada. Lisa reached her late 30s feeling low on energy, unhappy in her marriage, and stuck in a life that didn't feel like her own. At 226 lbs, she decided something had to change. Lisa joined Weight Watchers with a close friend, made herself accountable, and started running while still playing competitive softball. She went on to lose around 60 lbs and nine dress sizes, and promised herself she'd never go back over 200 lbs. But the biggest shifts weren't just on the scales. As the weight came off, Lisa realised she'd been living by expectations she'd absorbed growing up — keeping herself small, people-pleasing, and pushing down her own needs. She began unpacking years of emotions, finding her confidence, and building a life that actually feels aligned. Lisa shares how she and her husband separated kindly, how she now supports other women on their journeys, and how she's navigating menopause, body changes and midlife with far more acceptance. She's gained a sense of peace she didn't know she was missing.
