Emotional Eating

The only one who has the authority to give you permission to grow past your comfort zone is you.  Give yourself permission to change.  This does not exist in anyone else’s hands but yours.  Know that resistance to change will only bring pain.

Hi!  Here’s the honest truth: You know what you need to eat to feel your best, but everything else keeps getting in the way of that.  You start the day with good intentions, but they go out the window as soon as things get stressful and chaotic.

Neither will another go at…

Hi! The American Holiday of Thanksgiving is today, and I wanted to share a few recommendations on how to create peace with food on this holiday. 1).
