I'm Dr. Deb Butler and you are listening to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. This is

episode number 414. Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler,

Master Life and Weight Coach, and as always, your coach.

If you're a woman and you're smart and you're successful and you've been struggling with weight your

whole life and now menopause is making it harder than ever and you are ready to make this

the last time you ever have to go on a diet again,

then this podcast is for you. Stay tuned. Well, hello, all my beautiful dear friends all over the world.

We have springtime coming our way way and it's a beautiful thing.

So you know what I'm going to do today? I'm going to talk to you first and then if you've been

listening to me for a while, you might know that on a beautiful day like today, I'm going to be

out in the woods, moving my body,

and creating joy. And you know what? While I'm here talking to you, I think I'll create a little

joy right inside of me right now. And I think what gives me such great joy is to know that I have a message and you like my message

and it's inspiring you and it's helping you take better care of yourself and also learn to like

yourself or maybe even learn to love yourself. And that gives me a great joy because it's my practice

that I still do. Every day is how to take better care of myself and how to love myself and how to

talk to myself in a way that feels good. And I'm even talking about looking in the mirror and saying something lovely to myself as

opposed to going into the mirror, which I have done many times I'm guilty of, and wanting to

lift my face up a little bit and get rid of a wrinkle or two that I see.

It's like the first thing my eye does now is it likes to go to what's wrong with her today.

And you have to watch that brain of yours, just like I have to watch my brain. It's like I don't know

that my brain, that that would be the first thing my brain would do when I see my grandchildren.
