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. […]
The many (unhelpful) ways we use food
If you’re an emotional eater, like me, you may have noticed that you use food for reasons other than nourishment. I’m five years into my recovery from emotional eating, thanks to coaching, and I’m still learning about all the games I play around food. I’ve (largely) stopped using eating as comfort, company, distraction, sedative and […]
People-pleasing can be hazardous to your waistline
Losing weight my way means you connect to your body and you learn how to nourish yourself with foods that truly fuel you. Foods that feel vitalizing and energizing. And you learn to choose to say no to foods that don’t. You will discover that you no longer want to eat foods that you used […]

My client told me that she ate three chocolate bars because she was lonely. I asked her why she was feeling lonely. She told me that her husband was out of town, and had been travelling quite a bit lately. I asked her, again, why she was feeling lonely, and she told me that her […]
Your body knows how to lose weight permanently – all you have to do is listen.

I chose crying in a restaurant over eating the entire menu.
Last week, I told you how I had lost five pounds by eating only when I was hungry and stopping as soon as I was satisfied. For a recovering emotional eater like me, this means being willing to allow my emotions to surface instead of stuffing them down with food. I told you about how […]
Do you want to lose five pounds easily this week?
I lost 5 pounds this week. Easily. Here’s what I did: Every time I felt a slight sensation of hunger, I ate. Whatever I wanted. Every time I felt a slight sensation of fullness I stopped eating.

Does it really matter what other people think?
I was at an event with my family on Saturday night. All dressed up and fancy. Fitted little black dress. Feeling quite hot, if the truth be told. We walked into a crowded room. Not many seats left. Had to walk across the front of the room to the remaining seats. When I sat down, […]
