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

number 489. Stay tuned. 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 dear friends all over the world.

Today I'm going to play you one of my most valued downloaded podcasts. And the reason I'm going to play you one of my

older podcasts is two reasons. One, I'm out celebrating, as you've heard, that this is my

celebratory time between my birthday, my anniversary, and my husband's birthday. And I just did a podcast on,

you know, how to celebrate and still stay connected to your body. That means not gaining weight.

That means not feeling bad. That means not feeling guilty. And so while I'm doing that and I've instructed you on how

you can do that too, I thought now would be a very good time to go back eight years ago when I first

started my podcast and came up with the thinner piece

process. So I'm actually going to pay, it's my most downloaded podcast, probably because

it's also the oldest podcast. But it's where I came up with my philosophy for this thinner piece

process, the inner piece, how to have a body

that you like in peace with food and your body. So it all started eight years ago, and today I'm

actually playing you the very first podcast that I ever did. And I have to tell you that

when I came up with this and I recorded it, it took me a long time to put it out to you.

I was very, very nervous. I didn't know if anybody would be interested. I didn't know a lot of things that I know now about how common this is and how much

of an epidemic it actually is.

But then I didn't know.
