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

This is episode number 491.

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.

As I'm speaking, I can barely believe that this is episode 491, 491. And I was looking back at when I started, and it was in 2016.

And today, what I wanted to do is I thought it would be really helpful. So for those of you,

if you're listening to my podcast for the

first time, because you've been struggling with weight your whole life and menopause is making it

harder than ever, or you're someone that has been listening to me for a long time. What I want to

play for you is one of my most valued podcasts that have been downloaded.

And of course, it's the second episode that I ever did. So two weeks ago, I played you my very

first episode that I did in 2016. It was April of 2016 on the thinner piece process. And I had so many

emails from you on how much you enjoyed listening to how it all started that I decided that I

would play you the second episode. because if you've been listening to me

for a long time, it never hurts to review. And even though my message hasn't changed,

the way that I say it, the experience that I've had, the experience that I had at that time is still different. And I think

you'll hear something that maybe you've never heard before. And this second episode is all about

the physical hunger scale and how I came up with it, why I use it. And maybe it'll help you connect to something that you've

never been able to connect to before. And if you're new, maybe you've never even heard of

a physical hunger scale or even the philosophy of eating when you're hungry and stopping

when you're full. And I hate to call it a philosophy because seriously, you were born to eat when you're hungry

and stop when you're full because it's the only way you can survive.
