Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach, and as always, your coach. Today is episode number 117, and I want to read you one of your letters that you sent me. It's such an interesting letter and I want to talk to you

about what this listener had to say about ending a meal and feeling disappointed and what happens

when she feels disappointed. I think it's going to help you too because I think there's a lot of us

that feel a little disappointed

when a meal ends

or when you still have food on your plate

and you're eating this lovely, lovely food

and your body says,

Stay tuned.

Hi, everybody. It's a beautiful day in paradise today. I'm in St. Louis, Missouri, and it's a hot summer day. And as soon as I'm through talking to you, I am going to go out in the woods and do a nice, hot, sweaty walk

with the birds and the squirrels and the deer. I just can't wait to get out. I love getting

sweating now. And you know what? I didn't like to do it before I moved to Belize, I hated the hot weather. But once I was in

Belize and I started looking at things differently, started thinking about things differently,

I started enjoying the sweating. I enjoyed the way that my body felt when it was really hot and especially how it

felt when I was done. It just felt like I was all clean inside. So I cannot wait to do that.

And you know, since you listened to my last episode when I was talking about exercise,

I'm getting ready to go out and play once I'm through playing with you.

So anyway, what I want to talk to you about today is I always encourage you to write letters to me.

And I've gotten a few letters lately that I would like to read to you because, number one,

I'd like to share with you how other people

think because it helps you realize we're all the same. And two, I think that it also helps
