We Only LOOK Thin Catherine and Donald Wygal

Your expectation of this show is probably that it’s the greatest podcast recorded by humans. The reality is that you are correct. But oftentimes our expectations and reality don’t sync up. This can be especially true of the expectations that we place upon ourselves. Throw in the holiday season and you’ve got a recipe for disappointment (be sure to track those calories). This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how the added stress of the holidays can lead to skipping out on our healthy habits which can lead to a reality far different than the one we imagined for ourselves. The couple walk you through strategies for keeping up with your self-care when stress makes you want to give up. Plus, Catherine applauds without clapping, Lucky Donald has his bag of apples, and the couple encourage you to get in on the cutting edge Wordle trend.

Whelp, it’s December. How’d that happen? Seems like only 11 months ago it was January. You may be saying to yourself, “How do I manage my holiday food expectations?” The gang at We Only Look Thin are glad you hypothetically asked. This week, Catherine and Donald encourage you to use 6 of their favorite words that start with the letter “P” to look ahead at the month and make the choice for your healthy habits. Let’s end the year being proud of ourselves. Plus, Catherine rides in the Popemobile, Donald is on team wolf-boy, and it was Greg Brady who invented the Gregorian calendar.

This is the episode that some are calling the greatest event in the history of recorded media. Hopefully that’s enough hype. You’ve probably just gone through Thanksgiving weekend and may be tempted to give up on yourself until next year. Luckily, you have We Only Look Thin to help you navigate the rest of the holiday season. This week, Catherine and Donald rearrange the letters in S.W.O.T. and walk you through a plan for success. You have the strengths and opportunities to make it happen. Plus, Donald protects light bulbs like a mother protects her son from a killer robot from the future, Catherine points out that all knives are throwing knives when you think about it, and this episode has been panned for a lack of plot and artistic depth.

For some, Thanksgiving brings up warm memories of family and friends, or of Snoopy making popcorn for the Peanuts gang, or of your drunk uncle, drunkle if you will, embarrassing himself.  For others, it brings up a struggle to focus on health and fitness goals or even an excuse to give up until next year.  This week, Catherine and Donald ask you to “give T.H.A.N.K.S.” and use some of their favorite holiday tips to end up being proud of your choices.  Plus, Catherine finds dogs and takes them on walks, Donald looks for a good deal on a Cabbage Patch Kid, and it turns out there is no “D” in “thanks”.

We’ve all at one time or another wished that the Power of Greyskull was real. That we could call upon it and instantly transform into She-Ra or He-Man (plus, who doesn’t want a Battle Cat?). Sadly, the Power of Greyskull may not be real, but the power of suggestion is. When we hear that we can’t do something, or see statistics indicating that most people fail, it influences our abilities to succeed. This week, Catherine and Donald talk about the “Honeymoon Phase” of a health Jourventure and how to get yourself to believe that you’re in it for the long haul. Plus, Catherine uses food coloring as a loophole, Donald hopes to never meet a child, and the couple pass a conch shell back and forth.
