  My Thoughts on GLP-1 - UPDATED July 2026 - (259)

  Jul 31, 202638 minS8

  Join the Guild - discount applied www.imnotquitting.com Chris hasn't weighed in on GLP-1s in a while, and his opinion keeps evolving — so this is his July 2026 update. Drawing on years of coaching people who use them, quit them, restart them, or never touch them, he lays out an honest, non-dogmatic take: a GLP-1 is a genuine shortcut for hunger, but it's not a cure for the reasons people overeat in the first place. He gets into why the "food noise" comes roaring back when people stop, why so many GLP-1 users never build the walking, exercise, and emotional-eating skills that make weight loss last, and the specific situations where he thinks a GLP-1 genuinely makes sense — older clients, people with 300+ pounds to lose, those fighting a biological clock or a surgery deadline, and cases where deep emotional eating needs the same kind of help a mental-health medication provides. If you're on a GLP-1, considering one, or coming off one, this one's for you. No judgment either way — the goal is an informed decision. In this episode: Where Chris first ran into GLP-1s back in 2021, and the client who changed his mind Why the food noise "comes back with a vengeance" — and his hypothesis on what's really going on The core four: thin, healthy, happy, and in shape — and why a GLP-1 only delivers one of them Why so many users stop walking and exercising the moment they don't "need" to Emotional eating is a separate problem the drug doesn't touch Who's actually a great candidate for a GLP-1 (and who's just taking a shortcut) The testosterone comparison: what a shortcut is, and what it still doesn't do for you Advice if you're going on one — whether you plan to stay on it forever or not Protein and muscle: the new problem a GLP-1 can quietly create Want to start the work of listening to your hunger — whether you're avoiding a GLP-1 or coming off one?

  What 7 Years of Weight Loss Actually Taught Me - (258)

(good through the end of the month) Seven years ago Chris started losing weight. 125 pounds down, five years maintained, and now coaching others through the same thing — here are the 10 lessons that actually held up. This episode marks the anniversary of Chris's weight loss journey. No theory, no hype. Just the things that survived contact with real life, from the losing phase through years of maintenance: the beliefs that died, the habits that stuck, and the one truth most people don't want to hear. What's covered: Why all food is fine in moderation, and how "good foods vs. bad foods" became a dead belief Exercise as mental health first, body second The people and places Chris had to stop eating around — the "I'm basically an alcoholic about it" problem Why protein quietly runs the whole operation The uncomfortable bit: thin people already knew the "basics" he spent years discovering (and the money-and-poverty metaphor that explains why he didn't) Emotional eating as the actual engine behind the weight gain, not the food itself Rebuilding his lifestyle to lower stress instead of white-knuckling willpower How much his environment drives his choices — more than he wanted to admit Why weird food urges never fully disappear, and what to do instead of fighting them The big one: becoming thin didn't fix life — and what that means for anyone expecting a GLP-1 to do the fixing for them Links & resources: Free weight loss course → becomingthin.com Join the Guild of Champions (doors close for the summer soon) → imnotquitting.com • • Coupon SEVENYEARS26 for $30 off monthly ($70/mo) — limited time while the doors are open

  10 Reasons You're Not Changing (And Don't Want To) - 257

  Jun 12, 202620 minS12

  Join the Guild www.imnotquitting.com --- Dieting isn't changing. Dieting is a temporary thing you do to make your body smaller. But your body got bigger for a reason — your lifestyle, your habits, your routines, your environment, your community, your belief systems. Change those, and the weight follows. Don't, and you'll lose it and gain it back like you always have. So why don't we change? In this episode, Chris breaks down 10 reasons people stay exactly where they are — even when they say they want something different. They come from an old framework he found in his journal, sorted into four buckets: No change, no pain. Staying the same protects you from accountability, from the unknown, and from having to trade a familiar captivity for an unfamiliar freedom. There's no reason you can't. Staying the same protects you from your own expectations — and from the expectations of everyone watching you start to do better. The mirror. Staying the same protects you from taking an honest look at where you actually are. Because once you look, you'd have to do something about it. The work. Staying the same protects you from the insult of small steps, from tearing down the monument you've built to your own pain, and from changing your relationships — with others, and with yourself. This one's about the part nobody warns you about: that real change means becoming a different person, and some part of you is fighting that on purpose. If somebody's ever told you "you've changed" like it was an insult — this episode is for you. Be careful of your sacred cows. You'll be surprised what you're willing to change once you find a reason big enough. — If this hit something, that's what we do every day inside The Guild of Champions — the community for people who are done dieting and ready to actually change. Come find us. Becoming Thin Podcast. Hosted by Chris Terrell.
