Summary

Keys are great for jingling to make a baby laugh, but not so good for weight loss and fitness plans. If you’re like Catherine and Donald, you probably spent years or even decades searching for a “turnkey solution” to your weight and fitness issues. It turns out that there is no one-size fits all plan to developing the habits to hit your goals. This week, the We Only Look Thin team turns to Gretchen Rubin’s “This or That Distinctions” to help you unpack how you might best form the habits that will lead to your success. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Do you prefer to engage with groups or are you a lone wolf? A homebody or an out-and-about-er? By understanding your weight loss preferences, you can craft a plan that best suits you and not what someone else thinks best suits you. Plus, Catherine gets attacked by bespoke items, Donald recruits a rag-tag band of unlikely heroes, and sweet potato fries were not a thing in the 1950s.

0:37.1	And with me today is Donald Weigel and I am one of the host of this show. I have lost about 100 pounds. I've kept it off for about seven years and I cannot wait to find out what frustratingly bespoke means. Okay. So we'll start off with this. Do you find certain words to be really annoying?
