You’re going to overeat if you deplete yourself
Julia binged three times this week. She was wondering why? When she described her week to me, It became clear. She had no fun this week. She was all about chores, errands, favours, Shoulds and should haves. A sick friend for dinner Parents to take care of A messy office that needs to be tidied A […]
The easiest way to stick to your weight loss plan
We all know how to lose weight. Why don’t we do it long enough for permanent weight loss? My Hunger Games students developed a customized eating plan for their unique and luscious bodies. They know exactly what they need to do to lose weight and stay at their natural weight. AND they feel clear-headed, calmer, […]
Just Because Someone Else Is Beautiful, Doesn’t Mean You Aren’t
Today’s message is a bit different from my usual topics. I was asked to write an article for YourTango, and I want to share it with you because I think it’s a topic we women sometimes struggle with. It was challenging because I usually write about what’s inspiring me, and this time I had to […]
How do you become a person who loses weight permanently?
Practice. Practice. Practice. Think about something you do very automatically every day, That didn’t come naturally to you. Driving a car. Flossing your teeth. Operating a computer (if you’re my age!) Remember when you had to remember to do it, and how to do it? Remember when you didn’t really enjoy doing it? But you […]
How do you get from where you are to where you want to be?
You know how it is – you weigh 170lbs and you want to weigh 145. Or you give in to your cravings and you want to eat only when you’re hungry. At The Life Coach School, where I teach and mentor new coaches, we call this space in between where you are and where you […]
What would you do if you found a hair in your food?
I remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday. Twenty five years ago, I’d been invited to a colleague for dinner. It was a new friendship, and the first time I’d been to her house. She served lasagna. I can still feel the horror as I realized there was a strand of hair in […]
Don’t make grandiose promises to yourself (unless you’ve kept them before).
I don’t advise that you promise to ‘never ever eat sugar again’ or ‘work out every single day’, or ‘never eat when I’m not hungry again’ or ‘stick to my diet until I’m at my goal weight’. By the way, these are all real examples that I have heard this week from my clients. Here’s […]
What are you dreaming of for 2016?
We took the kids to Traces by 7 Fingers yesterday – if it comes your way, don’t miss it. Seven twentysomethings in peak physical condition performing moves most people would think were impossible. They’re only possible for them because they have chosen to live in bodies that are strong and supple and brave. I’ve been coaching people of […]
Will that food really make you feel better?
Hey! Hope you’re feeling good about yourself today. No matter what you ate last night. I promise you, your eating is not a reflection of your self worth. OK, after that quick Public Service Announcement (in response to the many emails I’ve received this morning from clients berating themselves for overeating at Christmas dinner), we’re […]
Fattening thoughts for December – and how to replace them.
“It’s just once a year.” “It’s tradition at this time of year.” How many indulgences do you satisfy with this just ‘once a year’ thought? I’m guessing more than one? Think hard about this. I know candy canes only come around once a year. And believe me, that’s our tradition at this time of year. […]
