I'm Dr. Deb Butler and you are listening to Thinner Piece and Manipause and Beyond.

This is episode number 456.

Welcome to Thinner Piece 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 dear, sweet, kind friends,

all over this beautiful world, happy holidays. And even if you don't celebrate any of these holidays,

it's still a lot of holidaying going on, no matter where you are or what you do. So today, I thought,

would be a great day to talk about something that I have with my

clients, not so much with myself, but much more so I've noticed it with my clients over the years.

And I thought this would be a great time to bring up the idea of food pushers.

Now, that has never come across to me.

I've never thought about it like that.

And I don't have a problem saying no.

But that being said, I have a lot of clients that taught me this term called food pushers.

So I became curious about it over the years and I was thinking today what would be a good topic to talk about during the holidays that really might help you. So I thought you might be around food

pushers too. Now, you might wonder, at least the first time I heard it, I thought I knew what it

meant, but I asked one of my clients, well, what is a food pusher? And what she told me,

one of my clients said, is it's a person who thinks that you have to

eat their food and they're relentless about you eating whatever it is they want you to eat.
