Welcome, everybody. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

We're in the Psychology of Eating podcast. I'm with Terry today. Welcome, Terry.

Hi, Mark. Thanks for having me. I'm so glad we're doing this. And you know that one of my favorite questions to ask is that if you could wave your magic wand and get whatever you wanted with food and

body, what would that be for you? Well, I actually have a few things. First and foremost is to lose weight.

That's kind of where I started digging into looking

for ways to lose weight. I also, I'd like to only eat when I'm hungry. I find myself whenever

I get stressed and want to feel better, I start to eat. Also, I'd like to get more sleep. At the beginning of 2020, I actually started having a lot of hot flashes. And I called my doctor and did some blood work and found out that I was menopausal. And I was only 43. So it's a little early. And ever since then, I've really not been able to sleep real good at night.

I do take Ambium and it helps, but I still don't sleep like a good eight hours.

So those are just some things I'd like to work on.

Okay.

So you want to lose weight.

You want to eat only when you're hungry and better sleep.

Yes.

Let's start with the easy stuff.

Okay.

Which is eating when we're hungry, losing weight.

It's all those are, those are likely connected somehow.

How much weight do you want to lose? I want to lose about 20 pounds.
