Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond.

This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach.

And as always, your coach.

Today is episode number 152.

And I am going to play you my top 10 tips from my first 100 episodes. They were so good then and they're so good

now. Enjoy. Hi, all my dear friends, can you believe it? This is number 100. I've been doing these podcasts once a week for 100 podcasts. I can't believe it myself. And I have to tell you that when I first started, I really had a mission and the reason that I wanted to do it, because I'll tell you what,

you know, I've talked to you a lot about things that feel scary. And this was one of those things

that felt very, very scary to me. Like, what am I going to talk about? Will anybody listen?

Will I be helpful? You know, all of the stuff that runs, all those crazy thoughts that run around in your

mind, in my mind, that create emotions that either help us or hurt us do the things that we want

to do. So in the end, when I finally decided that I am going to do this, the thought that I had

when I started, and this is really serious,

is that I want to be able to help as many women as possible through this crazy, crazy thing

of weight. Because it is insane the problems and the suffering that comes from how we see ourselves.

And I really felt that I had an answer that was very, very different from what a lot of things

and what a lot of people are saying and what a lot of programs are saying.

And I felt that a podcast would be the very,

very best way to do it. It would be a vehicle for me to get to so many people, so many more

people than I can talk to individually. And so I decided to take the adventure. And believe me,

this was also an adventure because I really didn't know, I think an adventure

is just something that you do that you think is going to be exciting, but you have no idea what the

outcome is going to be and the outcome is scary. Will you like me? Will you think I'm weird?
