Have you ever caught yourself wishing for that mythical thing that will help you “shed #20 as if by magic”? Me too!!! Swear to god, every time I read that headline I still open the article. But every time it is about someone giving up their 8 pack of soda pop habit, or giving up fast food, or eliminating their morning donut from their lives. And I’ve never been a soda drinker (wine is adifferent story…), I’ve never really eaten [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I really do love this time of year. It’s when I get to spend time with my adult children. It’s also the time of year that special annual festivities take place. Like the Christmas Ships party that my dear friend throws. A house full of people, laughter, conversation, food and drinks. Children building gingerbread houses. Dogs. Renewed friendships. Every year we check in with friends we don’t see any other time of [...]

I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH A CLIENT THE OTHER DAY, AND SHE TOLD ME SHE WASN’T HAPPY WITH HER PROGRESS AT THE MOMENT. The problem was, she had so many leftovers in her fridge and she felt like she needed to eat them before she got back on her program. I asked her why, since they weren’t foods that she would normally eat and she said: “I’m the type of person who can’t waste food.” She tried to attribute [...]

Nervous that you’re going to “fall off the wagon” of your better eating regime, and regain all the weight that has come off ever so slowly? Here’s the same advice I give to all of my clients…. Have a game plan before the big day. Determine what your absolute favorites are. Sort them out from the old stand-by that are just “okay”, part of [...]

I’ve just returned from a 4 day visit to my daughter. A very special visit. We were picking out her wedding dress. She invited 3 other friends and family to come along and we spent 2 days looking at a lot of dresses. She was gorgeous. That’s actually a fact, not just my opinion. She’s been eating healthy and exercising for months, and it shows. It was so funny to hear the other young women her age talking about things [...]

Serious question. When you’ve had a rough day at work? When traffic sucked and there were a million asshole drivers on the road? When you didn’t get the promotion you deserved? When your baby finally left home? When the scale didn’t budge after 3 whole days of following your diet perfectly? When nothing in your closet looked good on you today? When you’re just bored and there’s nothing fun to do? You get the drift. If you’ve ever found yourself [...]

THOUGHTS CAN BE YOUR BIGGEST HELPERS OR YOUR WORST ENEMIES WHEN YOU ARE WORKING TO CHANGE HABITS. LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF A WOMAN I KNOW. She works 60 hours a week at a desk job, 5 days a week. It’s a stressful job, she’s had it for 12 years and in the beginning she ate to deal with her stress. Over the years she gained a 100+ pounds. Then she made a decision to start dealing with [...]
