Here’s how I’m losing weight during perimenopause
I’ve become a person who doesn’t snack. Not snacking is new for me. It’s a decision I made recently. I love the idea that we can change who we are. It feels very powerful to me, as if we have endless possibility. I’m experimenting with different ways of eating, in order to meet the needs […]
What do you ask food to do for you?
Do you ask food to do something it isn’t capable of doing? My clients tell me that food comforts them. That food is their friend. That food makes them feel better. Of course, when I question them, they come to realize that food can’t do any of these things. Food is really just a bunch […]
How do you feel when you make an excuse?
What do you make excuses about? Common topics are: what we ate (I couldn’t help it I was starving and there was nothing healthy to eat) how we felt (he was so rude I just had to yell at him) our finances (it’s not my fault I have expensive taste). We often believe our excuses. […]

Sometimes weight loss is soooo slow
I’ve decided to lose those extra 5 lbs I’ve gained over the past year or so. I remember how easy and steady it was when I first lost 60 lbs 5 years ago. I’m 51 now, and it’s not going the same way this time. I’m doing exactly the same thing I did then, and […]
What do you really really want?
I really love my job! And I love it even more when I get emails like this one from Roberta* “Weekend was really good. Went to a movie Sat night and even though my husband was chomping away on his popcorn, I just stuck to my cut up apple and didn’t even have a kernel. […]
What to do after you overeat.
If you want to avoid gaining weight, Don’t eat again until you’re hungry. It’s that simple. The minute you notice that you’re eating and you’re not hungry. Stop. Note where you are on the hunger scale. And wait until you’re at -2 (slightly hungry) to eat again. This may only be tomorrow, or many hours […]
