What can you discover when you resist the compulsion to binge?
I’m feeling relieved. I thought I had an incurable condition. I had accepted it and was prepared and calm about having it. Then the doctor said I didn’t have it. Which made me want to binge. I didn’t immediately want to eat the store out. But I noticed it as I was in the supermarket […]
how many times did you chew that?
We can’t escape this fact – our stomach has no teeth. If we want our food to be optimally digested and assimilated and then eliminated, it needs to be well masticated. Almost to a liquid state. I know this sounds kind of gross. Or at least to my kids, who don’t love me talking […]
Do you really believe that?
We think thoughts all the time. It’s the nature of thought to float in and out of our consciousness. When you notice a particular thought, and examine it, and analyze it, or argue with it, This thought will pop into your brain more and more often. Before you know it, you believe […]

You need a sign that you’re still in the game
Do you have a sign for yourself that you’re still in the game? Are you wondering what game I’m talking about? I’m talking about this game of life that we’re in. Whatever it is that you’re here to do. How do you know you’re living it? More than just getting by day to day. Really […]
Think you’re too busy to take care of yourself? Do this.
Everyone’s talking about how busy they are now. It’s official. The spacious, expansive feeling of summer has been replaced by schedules, carpools, lunches to pack, and new goals to achieve, if you’re an entrepreneur and a mom like many of the stupendous women I work with. I’ve been hearing, since Labour Day, that there’s no […]
What would you think about on New Years if you were already healthy and on your way to losing all your weight?
Two months to the end of the year! I remember when every single New Year’s I resolved to get my health and weight together. It was so painful to repeat the same hope and failure every year. And I always wondered what I would do with all my mental energy when I wasn’t preoccupied with […]
I don’t have to protect myself from people!
I had the pleasure of taking my daughter out for lunch to celebrate her fourteenth birthday this week. A group of politicians were planning their strategy for our upcoming provincial election next to us. I shared some strong political opinions with my daughter, who told me I should get involved. We both laughed. “Oh yes”, […]
I love tricks that make me even better
I was on the phone with my brother a few days ago, and interrupted our call to speak to the Expedia representative I’d been waiting for. I called him back after, and told him that I’d booked two tickets to Dallas for our annual Life Coach School Mastermind, where I’m going to be teaching Advanced […]
Love always feels best
I’m almost crying. My husband just left to take my Aliza to school, and then we won’t see each other for four nights. I counted. It’s ridiculous. He’s been here for weeks. Every night. And I’ve barely paid any attention to him. I’ve been indulging in resentment about the current effect of something he did […]
