Insatiable with Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC 311. How to Finally Stop White-Knuckling Your Weight-Loss Journey with Sas Petherick [Body Stories #5]
Today, Sas Petherick returns for the fifth installment of our Body Stories series — and she’s nearly a year into her holistic weight-loss journey!
In this conversation, Sas shares what’s become unmistakably clear along the way: true change happens at the pace of your body, and all-or-nothing thinking around food and movement is far more pervasive (and sneaky) than we realize.
Together, we discuss:
- Why dieting isn’t an either/or thing — and you’re never just “on track” or “off track”
- How Sas embraced her birthday dinner without stressing over macros
- Moving at the pace of your body instead of rushing to the “end” of a diet
- The realities of The Biggest Loser and the ways they faked things for TV
- How to choose a trainer you can actually trust
- Self-compassion as an antidote to perfectionism
- Sas’ sobriety journey and finding the third way
