Episode Transcript

Stephanie Fein MD [00:00:01]:
Hello, fabulous. It's Dr. Stephanie Fein here with weight loss for fertility and it is almost Thanksgiving. If you're listening to this, when this comes out, it's a couple days before and so this is just a quickie episode, although there's more to listen to. Just follow me. But in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I have a few things to tell you. First, in this season of Gratitude, I want to extend mine to you for being here. My sincere wish is to be of help to you in this season, this temporary season of your life.

Stephanie Fein MD [00:00:41]:
Thank you for your presence and your attention. And second, as you're cooking or getting ready or walking or traveling, I want you to feel thanked for being who you are in your circle of family and friends. Your efforts and heart and kindness bring connection and love to those around you. Consider yourself thanked for all you give and do and show up with. Really just for being. It means so much and it's truly appreciated by those around you, even if they don't say it as often as they feel it. Consider this their thanks. I love doing a little thank you on Thanksgiving.

Stephanie Fein MD [00:01:39]:
Usually we're the ones thanking and people talk about gratitude, but it's so clear to me that you deserve to soak up that thanks for yourself. So that's always something I like to do on Thanksgiving. The last thing I want to do is point out to you some of the helpful podcasts that I've had before dealing with the holidays and Thanksgiving. And so that's what I'm going to point you to now is episode 53 and 54. They're great Thanksgiving refreshers for how to deal with family, the food. So if you want to know how to deal with food, that's 53 and also the rest of the weekend because you know, Thanksgiving is just one meal. But the holiday includes the whole weekend and there can be challenges, food wise and family wise, all through the weekend. So it's important to think of the whole thing.

Stephanie Fein MD [00:02:35]:
And that's why I highly recommend 53 and 54. And if you have time, a long trip or just time on your hands, you can have a listen to episode four, five and six for sort of a more holistic way to think of and plan for the holidays in general. Because holidays are now and coming up, right? So as you're changing your relationship to food and losing your excess weight, it's great to think of the holidays in the way that 4, 5 and 6 talk about. It's a the general holiday primer, how to think about the holidays coming up. That's 4, 5, and 6. And last week we talked about how to be okay with your decisions about Thanksgiving. So if you need a little bit of support, if your decisions are feeling wobbly, go have a listen back to that one. That's 106.

Stephanie Fein MD [00:03:27]:
So that's it. Go get them. Go get what you need. Have the best Thanksgiving. Using your hunger scale will always be the answer for any meal. Thanksgiving is just a meal. It may be a time that you get to connect with people you don't always get to connect with. And that's fun.

Stephanie Fein MD [00:03:45]:
That's the important part of the holiday, not necessarily the food, but also we get to enjoy yummy food that we like. So hunger scale. Hunger scale. Hunger scale. And enjoy. And I will see you here next week. I'm always here to support you in any way I can. Reach out to me on social stephaniefinemd or on my website, stephaniefinemd.com I hope your Thanksgiving is everything you need and more.

Stephanie Fein MD [00:04:14]:
And I'm sending you so much love until next week.
