Weight-Loss Expert Amy Lang on How to Stop Negative Thoughts and Build Healthy Habits

The Optimal Aging Podcast

Remember Daisy Duke on “The Dukes of Hazard"? Anyone who grew up in the late '70s and early '80s does. It featured a beautiful young actress named Catherine Bach playing the part of Daisy Duke, who was most famous for her short-short cutoff jeans, curvaceous figure, and legs that went down to Mexico.

Like millions of households every Friday night, Amy Lang and her family would gather to watch the show and, on one of those nights, Amy’s father turned to her, pointed at the Daisy Duke on the TV, and said, "That’s the ideal figure for a woman."

Amy was 14, a petite adolescent, and the message was clear. You ain't it.

Today, Amy is a former gym owner and weight-loss coach. She’s back on the show to talk about her new book, "Thoughts Are Habits, Too: Master Your Triggers, Free Yourself from Diet Culture, and Rediscover Joyful Eating.” Amy’s expertise and enthusiasm are helpful to anyone struggling with weight or helping people to establish better habits, like eating right and exercising. I know you’ll enjoy our conversation.
