• The Missing Half of Every Diet You've Ever Done 30.05.2026 21dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com You’ve lost the weight before. Maybe more than once. And every time, it comes back. You’ve decided the answer is a better diet, more discipline, or finally finding the right plan.I’m here to tell you it’s none of those things. You’ve been running the wrong number of plans.In this episode, I lay out the core philosophy behind my entire approach to sustainable weight loss: you don’t need one plan, you need two. One to lose the weight. One to build the life that keeps it off. The diet was never going to fix it on its own — it was only ever going to fix half of it.We get into why those two plans run on completely different physics, why discipline works on one and fails on the other, and the relay-race metaphor that explains why so many people sprint to their goal weight only to gain it all back. I also walk you through the six structural components of the lifestyle plan that most weight loss programs never even mention.If you’ve been losing the same thirty pounds for years, this episode is going to reframe what you’ve been doing — and why it keeps not working.In this episode:Why most weight loss plans only solve half the problemThe difference between a weight loss plan and a lifestyle change planWhy one is finite and the other runs for the rest of your lifeThe “different physics” of brute force vs. structural changeThe relay-race handoff that determines whether the result lastsThe snap-your-fingers question that exposes the real problemThe six components of the lifestyle that quietly drove the weight gainWhy running both plans together, with weight loss turned down a notch, is what actually works
• The Four Skills You Need Before You Diet 16.05.2026 17dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com If you added up every pound you've ever lost across every attempt — for most people, the bigger number is still what they weighed at their heaviest. That tells you something. You've actually been pretty good at losing weight. What you've never been good at is stopping the regain.In this episode, Chris breaks down the single biggest mistake people make when they decide to lose weight: jumping straight to the dieting before they've built the skills that make weight loss stick. Calorie tracking, food rules, GLP-1s — none of it matters if you haven't dealt with the lifestyle that produced the weight in the first place.Chris walks through the four foundational skills he now teaches before anyone in his program starts a deliberate calorie deficit — and explains why the people who skip this part end up right back where they started, sometimes heavier than before.In this episode:Why "weight loss" is the wrong problem to solveThe four skills you must master before dieting works long-termChoosing your food, choosing your volume, adjusting in real time, and saying noWhy GLP-1s work — and what happens to most people when they come offThe difference between saying no when you want to say no, and saying no when you want to say yesWhy three years to unlearn 40 years of conditioning is actually fastThe 10-year test: is this a lifestyle change or a dieting technique?How to tell whether you're dieting or actually changing your lifeProgramming note: The Becoming Thin Podcast is on an every-other-week schedule while Chris finishes building the Daily Coaching Program inside The Guild.Try the free Kickstart Course: https://becomingthin.comJoin The Guild of Champions: https://imnotquitting.com
• Stay in the Day You're In - 255 01.05.2026 17dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com The same principle that got Chris through 125 pounds of weight loss got him through 31 miles of trail running: you don't run a 50K by thinking about mile 31, you run it by running the mile you're in. Weight loss works the same way.After two weeks off the feed — between running the Ouachita 50K ultramarathon, leading a Tough Mudder workshop in Atlanta, and pouring creative energy into a major Guild project — Chris is back with an honest update on where the podcast is headed and what he's been quietly building for two years.This episode marks the public launch of the Daily Coaching Program inside The Guild of Champions. Unlike the podcast (which is intentionally non-sequential), the Daily Coaching Program delivers information scaffolded in order: what you need to hear on day 10, day 90, day 200, day 300. Chris explains why listening to a podcast on repeat isn't the same as being coached, and why so many people mistake edutainment for actually doing the work.In this episode:Why two weeks went dark on the feedWhat 31 miles re-taught Chris about staying presentThe difference between listening and being coachedWhy novelty matters on a long journeyThe Daily Coaching Program: what it is and the early results members are gettingA free 19-day sample anyone can tryWhy the podcast is moving to every other weekTry the free 19-day Daily Coaching Program: https://becomingthin.comJoin The Guild of Champions: https://imnotquitting.com Promo code: 31MILES2026 — 30% off monthly membership, good through May 8.Programming note: The Becoming Thin Podcast is shifting to every-other-week episodes while Chris focuses on the Daily Coaching Program.
• Your Beliefs Aren't Yours — They're Borrowed 10.04.2026 18dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com Your thoughts aren't just yours. Some of them belong to the room you've been sitting in.In this episode, Chris digs into one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term weight loss: the people you surround yourself with. Not as a feel-good motivational concept — but as a real mechanism that shapes the beliefs you hold about yourself and what's possible.In this episode, you'll hear:Why the phrase "I've tried everything" is a borrowed belief — and who you borrowed it fromHow belief systems inside a social group coalesce and reinforce each other (and how that works against you without you realizing it)The difference between accountability partners and what you actually need: encouragement partnersWhy identity change — not food rules — is the real engine of permanent weight lossHow Chris built a community-forward coaching model after realizing how hard it was to coach people who were isolatedThe one belief Chris wants you to borrow if you don't have it yetKey Idea from This Episode:Just because you have to do the work yourself doesn't mean you have to be alone while you do it. Chris uses the analogy of running an ultra marathon — every step is yours, but having people alongside you changes everything.Resources Mentioned:Free Kickstart Course → becomingthin.comJoin The Guild of Champions → imnotquitting.comAbout the Becoming Thin PodcastHosted by Chris Terrell, who lost 125 lbs and has kept it off.

• Becoming Thin Philosophy: You are in your way - (252) 27.03.2026 18dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com Most people say they want to lose weight. But if you slow down and really look at it, that’s not the full truth. What you actually want is to feel different, to think differently about yourself, to finally approve of who you are when you look in the mirror. Weight loss is just the vehicle you’ve attached to that deeper desire. And until you’re willing to be honest about that, you’ll keep chasing surface-level solutions for a problem that lives much deeper.There’s a part of you that already knows what it’s going to take. It’s not another diet, not more information, not a better plan. It’s a decision. A real one. The kind that requires you to give something up. Not just certain foods or habits, but a version of your life, your routines, your environment, and even the way you see yourself. That’s the part most people avoid. Not because they’re broken, but because they’re not yet willing to pay the price.This episode is about facing that truth head-on. It’s about recognizing that the biggest obstacle in your way isn’t your body or your circumstances, it’s your current identity. And if you want lasting change, that identity has to evolve. You don’t need to become perfect, but you do need to become someone new. The question is simple, even if the answer isn’t. Are you willing to let go of who you’ve been so you can become who you say you want to be?
• Becoming Thin Philosophy: Who are you? - (251) 20.03.2026 26dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com This episode goes deeper than weight loss. Chris shares the moment everything changed for him, when his father’s passing forced him to confront time, presence, and the reality that life is not waiting. What started as a desire to lose weight became something much bigger. A realization that he wasn’t just chasing a smaller body, he was chasing permission to feel differently about himself and his life.Through personal reflection, Chris walks you through the turning point that shifted his entire identity. He explores how so many of us spend years waiting to finally feel confident, happy, or proud, believing those feelings come after weight loss. But what if that’s backwards? What if the only thing standing in the way of those feelings is the belief that you’re not allowed to have them yet? This episode challenges that belief at its core.You’ll also be introduced to a powerful perspective shift that can change how you see yourself and your struggles. If you are not your body, your thoughts, or your emotions, then who are you? And more importantly, what does that mean for the urges, patterns, and habits that have kept you stuck? This episode invites you to stop waiting, start questioning, and begin discovering who you really are underneath it all.
• Becoming Thin Philosophy: Living in the Present - (250) 13.03.2026 23dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com In this episode, Chris introduces the idea that lasting weight loss requires a shift in philosophy, not just changes in food choices. Drawing from his own journey of losing 125 pounds after years of yo yo dieting, he explains that real transformation came from changing how he viewed his lifestyle, habits, environment, community, and belief systems. When those underlying systems changed, his results finally changed too. This episode begins a deeper exploration of the philosophies behind becoming thin, healthy, happy, and in shape.Chris dives into the role emotional eating plays in weight gain and why so many people find themselves eating when they are not actually hungry. Emotional eating does not always look like binge eating. It often shows up as boredom eating, mindless snacking, or recreational eating that slowly adds up over time. One of the biggest drivers of emotional eating is uncertainty and the feeling of being powerless over situations in life. When people feel anxious, stressed, or helpless, the mind looks for relief, and food often becomes the easiest outlet.The key skill Chris introduces is learning to sit with emotions instead of trying to escape them. Many people try to distract themselves from uncomfortable feelings, but that only postpones the problem. Instead, Chris explores the philosophy of being present in the moment and separating yourself from the thoughts that create emotional distress. By learning to observe your thoughts rather than automatically reacting to them, you can reduce the urge to emotionally eat and begin building a healthier relationship with food and with yourself.
• The 4 Types of Emotional Eaters - (249) 06.03.2026 30dk

  Join the Emotional Eating Programwww.imnotquitting.com In this episode of the Becoming Thin Podcast, Chris explores a powerful question many people overlook when trying to lose weight. Why do we gain the weight in the first place? Instead of focusing only on dieting strategies, he digs into the deeper psychological patterns that often drive emotional eating. Drawing from both research and years of coaching experience, Chris introduces four common emotional patterns that frequently show up in people who struggle with emotional eating: the Appeaser, the Imposter, the Perfectionist, and the Suppressor.  Throughout the episode, Chris walks through each of these personality patterns and how they quietly influence behavior around food. Appeasers struggle to say no and often carry resentment from constantly putting others first. Imposters feel like frauds despite their accomplishments and live with constant pressure to prove themselves. Perfectionists tie their self-worth to flawless performance and often spiral when they fall short. Suppressors bury difficult emotions until the pressure eventually finds an outlet, sometimes through food or other forms of escape. By recognizing these patterns, listeners can begin to see how emotional eating is often a symptom of deeper emotional habits rather than simply a lack of willpower.  Chris emphasizes that awareness is the first step toward lasting change. Emotional eating is not something that disappears overnight, but these patterns can absolutely be worked through with time, honesty, and the right support. He closes the episode by inviting listeners who resonate with these patterns to go deeper through his 10-week emotional eating program inside the Guild, where he helps members confront the root causes of weight gain so they can not only lose weight but keep it off and ultimately become thin, healthy, happy, and in shape.  
• What causes a perfect storm for emotional eating - (248) 27.02.2026 17dk

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com In this episode of the Becoming Thin Podcast  , Chris breaks down the hidden “perfect storm” behind emotional eating: the collision of physical hunger and emotional hunger at the same time. He explains the difference between biological hunger and hedonic or emotional hunger, and why combining the two often leads to overeating, especially at the end of a long, stressful day. Instead of blaming specific foods, Chris reframes weight gain as a deeper issue rooted in unaddressed emotional triggers and lifestyle patterns, reminding listeners that emotional eating is not a sign of being broken but a predictable response to certain circumstances.Chris challenges listeners to stop managing emotional eating with dieting tricks like calorie shuffling, intermittent fasting, or restrictive food rules, and instead turn toward the underlying causes driving the urge to eat. He shares how addressing the weight gaining problem, not just the excess body fat, is key to long term success and lasting maintenance. The episode invites listeners to observe their own patterns this week and consider whether they are allowing themselves to become physically and emotionally hungry at the same time, setting themselves up for struggle.
• A Beginners Guide to Fitness: Coaching Misty - (247) 20.02.2026 40dk

  Chris Terrell introduces a new episode format by sharing an impromptu hot seat coaching call from his Guild program’s maintenance class. The featured coaching conversation is with Misty (a previous guest) who has lost about 190 pounds and maintained it, but struggles to add exercise consistently. Chris also mentions a free three-week audio weight loss coaching course available at becomingthin.com.In the coaching call, Misty explains her rigid standard that “exercise” must be a 45–60 minute gym session, combined with a chaotic schedule, low enjoyment of the gym, and lack of a compelling goal. She likes activities that feel like normal life (hiking, paddleboarding, lake swimming) and notes fear around goals that might expose physical limitations (including pulmonary concerns). Chris and the group identify the root causes as philosophy/definition of exercise, unrealistic expectations, and focusing on “being better” rather than building the habit of showing up. Alex shares his own progression from very small fitness goals (VR workouts/kettlebell swings) to daily training, emphasizing that intrusive resistance thoughts can remain while the habit continues.Chris guides Misty toward lowering the minimum standard to something “insultingly easy,” focusing first on consistency and accountability rather than the perfect program. He suggests setting a small, repeatable baseline (e.g., three days a week for 10 minutes for several weeks), allowing overdelivery without raising the standard too soon, reducing friction by taking tiny next steps (putting on workout clothes, driving to the park), and pairing exercise with enjoyable elements (music, audiobooks, scrolling, phone calls). He reinforces that since Misty isn’t chasing a specific performance goal yet, she can sample different activities and let a motivating goal emerge later. The episode ends with Chris highlighting how root cause analysis and coaching can shorten the time it takes to solve recurring problems.00:00 Welcome Back, Champion: Learning From Failure00:34 Chris’s 125-Lb Story & the 6 Levers That Change Results01:13 Why This Episode: A Real Coaching Call on Adding Exercise03:06 Quick Plug: Free 3-Week Weight Loss Coaching Course04:01 Misty’s Roadblocks: Gym Hate, Time, and a Chaotic Schedule06:08 Finding a Real Fitness Goal (Pushups, Pullups… or Something Bigger)08:08 The Real Root Cause: Rigid Definitions & Fear of Not Being Capable12:47 Resetting Expectations: What Counts as Exercise?

  What if exercise isn’t for weight loss?In this episode of Becoming Thin, I sit down with a woman who lost 95 pounds… and didn’t stop there. She went from feeling postpartum, overwhelmed, depressed, and nearly 240 pounds to completing 100-mile ultramarathons.But this is not an episode about running.It’s about identity.We talk about what happens when you stop using exercise to punish your body and start using it to care for it. We unpack why running alone won’t make you thin, why it often makes you hungrier, and how reframing movement can completely change your relationship with food.She shares how she went “cold turkey” into keto and intermittent fasting, lost 95 pounds in a year, then faced carb fear when she reintroduced balance for marathon training. She gained some weight back — and didn’t panic. We discuss maintenance as awareness, not obsession, and thinking in seasons instead of days.We also dive into mom guilt, modeling strength for your kids, the fear of regaining weight, and the mindset required to walk through the “pain cave” — those moments when you want to quit.This episode is about learning to keep promises to yourself.It’s about meeting yourself in hard moments.It’s about realizing that wanting to quit isn’t the crime — quitting is.If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid of gaining it back, or unsure whether you’re “that kind of person,” this conversation will help you think differently.And new thinking creates new results.Listen for the mindset.

  Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com In this episode of the 'Becoming Thin Podcast,' host Chris Harold shares his personal weight loss journey and the importance of overcoming the urge to quit. He delves into the reasons why people typically abandon their weight loss efforts, attributing it to the failure of reconditioning the mind's 'automatic pilot.' Chris explains the conscious versus unconscious mind and emphasizes the need for a core-level change in lifestyle and habits for lasting results. He introduces five key steps to recondition the subconscious mind: repetition of ideas, activating the body, discussing ideas with supportive people, journaling, and modifying the environment. Chris also elaborates on the importance of community support and the Guild of Champions, a community designed to help individuals recondition their automatic pilot and achieve their weight loss goals sustainably.

• Why does weight loss feel harder the longer you stay in it? 09.01.2026 25dk

  Join the Guildwww.whydoiquit.com Most people don’t fail at weight loss because their plan didn’t work. They fail because they quit before the timeline was complete.In this episode, Chris explains why lasting weight loss is more like running a marathon than following a diet.
