You have to really really want it

What did you think about last week’s blog? My husband was concerned that I may have discouraged you from working with me. I guess the continued use of the word “slog” might do that? 😉 So let me clarify: Discouraging you from working to achieve your goal, with or without me,  was never my intention. […]

Please love yourself today, no matter what.

I went swimsuit shopping yesterday. At my thinnest, I don’t look good in a swimsuit. And I’m not at my thinnest right now. So there I was, me and me, in a tiny change room with a full length mirror, lots of swimsuits, my big wobbly legs and my dimply sticky-outy butt. And I didn’t […]

Being a people pleaser can be hazardous to your waistline

More on being a people pleaser this week – today we’re talking about eating and drinking to ‘please’ others!

Shame – how much does it weigh? Mine weighs ten pounds.

I want to talk to you about the weight of shame, when we hide it inside our bodies. As you know, I help women recover from emotional eating. When we use food to avoid our emotions, we eat more than our bodies need, and so we end up heavier than we believe is optimal for […]

Can you nudge against the sound? Of your own thoughts?

My inspiring NIA teacher asked this during our class this morning. What a great question. She was referring to the sound of the mesmerizing band that plays during our class. What a great question, I thought, thinking of my thoughts. Can you nudge against the sound of your own thoughts? Can you get a little closer and really hear […]

Stop eating when you’re full – our children can teach us how

  Many of my clients tell me they can’t stop eating. I know the feeling, although I’m grateful that it’s very rare for me now. That’s why I was so fascinated by my daughter last week. She was enjoying a customized breakfast just before gymnastics training: chocolate chip pancakes with hash browns. And hot chocolate with LOTS […]

Stop overeating because you want to.

Two of my clients have been overeating this past week. They’ve become used to eating high quality, nutritious foods that fuel their bodies. And they feel energetic, clearheaded and positive when they eat this way. I do too. But, being human, sometimes we forget how much power we have to make ourselves feel good (or […]

A number is just a number, until you make it mean something.

We got some news on Monday. It was a number. It was not the number we were expecting. It was lower. Much lower. We’d been so certain of the number it was going to be, We’d made some fun and exciting plans about what we’d do with it. When we got the number, we shared […]

What do you make it mean when you gain weight?

I gained 2 lbs this week. After eating one red velevet cupcake. Man it was delicious – light and fluffy, and the cream cheese icing was perfection. A perfectly worthwhile Joy eat, Which I savoured wholeheartedly. Yup. Next day, the scale told me that that cupcake cost me two extra pounds. And here’s what I made […]
