Hello, it's Caroline and I'm here to tell you that the episode you're about to listen to was recorded a long time ago.

Back when I used Patreon, back when I ran lots of different workshops and programs that I do not run anymore,

and back before the Fuck a Diet book. So if I refer to any of these obsolete offerings while you're listening,

just know that even though my Patreon and other programs don't exist anymore, you can find helpful resources by going to

the fuckadiet.com slash more. You can also read the beginning of the fucka a diet book for free

from my site.

Lastly, this podcast is extremely messy.

And it was actually intentionally messy and unstructured because that was the only way I could inspire myself to start and continue this podcast.

I needed the lowest stakes possible.

And though this podcast remains very low budget and has remained messy throughout the years until now,

if you want slightly more structured and streamlined episodes, listen to the more recent episodes.

All right, enjoy.

When you try to do that, it causes reactive eating and deep feelings of denial, biological,
