In this week’s Thin Thinking episode, I sit down with Hillary—a Shift Process graduate and personal chef—whose story around weight, food, and self-image is both unique and deeply relatable.

Growing up in New York with a father who was a fashion photographer in the 1970s, Hillary was surrounded by the glossy, airbrushed world of ultra-thin models. Even though her own weight fluctuations were only 12–15 pounds, the emotional toll of yo-yo dieting left her feeling frustrated, doubtful, and never quite “enough.”

But today, nine months into successful weight maintenance, Hillary has found peace—not just with her body, but with herself.

Whether your struggle has been 10 pounds or 100, Hillary’s journey offers powerful insight into the deeper emotional work that makes lasting change possible.

When you feel hungry… is it always about an empty stomach?

The truth is, hunger isn’t just one thing—it’s a chorus of signals. And most of them have nothing to do with actual physical need.

In my latest podcast episode, I’m breaking down the five types of hunger:

✅ Physical hunger
✅ Emotional hunger
✅ Environmental hunger
✅ Hedonic (pleasure-driven) and mindless habit hunger
✅ “Fake hunger” caused by blood sugar swings + leptin signaling

You’ll discover how your subconscious interprets hunger cues, why certain routines and environments automatically switch on cravings, and how you can shift awareness to get back in charge.

If lasting weight mastery is your goal, this episode gives you the leverage point: learning to recognize and manage the right hunger at the right moment.

In This Episode, You’ll Also Learn…

• How to use the Hunger Scale to stop overeating, tune into your true fullness signals, and rebuild trust with yourself around food.

• The surprising role of environment and habit loops in driving cravings—and how simple shifts in rules and stimulus control can break the cycle.

• Why blood sugar swings and leptin resistance create “fake hunger,” and how protein, fiber, and mindful eating can keep your appetite balanced.

• Practical mindset and awareness strategies that let you interrupt cravings without relying on white-knuckled willpower.
