    Write It Down, Lose the Weight? How Journaling Can Help With Obesity

    Can something as simple as writing things down actually help when it comes to obesity and weight loss? In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, Kate and Isaiah dive into the potential role of journaling in managing obesity, changing eating habits, and understanding our relationship with food. From tracking what we eat and how we feel to recognizing emotional eating, cravings, triggers, and patterns, journaling may offer a simple way to become more aware of the choices we make every day. But is journaling actually useful, or is it just another piece of weight-loss advice that sounds good on paper?

In this episode, we talk about: • Journaling and obesity • Tracking food and eating habits • Emotional eating and food triggers • Understanding cravings and patterns • Mindful eating and self-awareness • Weight loss and behaviour change • Whether journaling can actually make a difference If you're living with obesity, trying to lose weight, or simply looking for a better understanding of your relationship with food, this conversation may give you something new to think about. 🎙️ Listen, watch, and join the conversation with Kate & Isaiah Living Large.

    You Exercise So Why Isn't the Scale Moving?

    Have you ever stuck to a workout routine, only to wonder why the number on the scale isn't changing? You're not alone. In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we're sharing our thoughts on a recent article that explores why exercise alone may not always lead to weight loss—and why that doesn't mean it's not improving your health. We discuss how weight loss, obesity, fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness are often far more complex than we've been led to believe. As two people living with obesity, we share our personal experiences, opinions, and challenges while talking about the mental side of the journey, the frustration of seeing little change on the scale, and why focusing only on weight can overlook other important health improvements. This isn't medical advice, it's an honest conversation about a topic that affects millions of people every day. 💬 Join the conversation in the comments: Have you ever exercised consistently but struggled to lose weight?
