    Episode 352 – Ouija Board Weight Loss

    If you’ve ever used a Quija (trademark Hasbro) board, it can seem like the other person or people are moving the planchette around.  It’s definitely not you making those choices.  When we make impulsive food decisions, we WANT to feel like we’re not making those choices either.  It was definitely the spirit world that made me eat that entire cake by myself.  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about the importance of letting go of your magical thinking and really taking responsibility for your food choices.  Really asking yourself what your choices are getting you and what they are costing you is an important step towards weight loss success.  Plus, Donald thinks a violin playing chicken would make a good emperor, Catherine uses a metal detector powered by magic, and WOLT place is definitely not haunted.
