I’m taking a stand for you
Do you find yourself cheating and eating food that you know you shouldn’t eat? Like for example, ice cream. You know ice cream gives you a bellyache. You know it makes you feel bloated, lethargic and have stinky farts. And you know that not only does it make you feel like crap it, sometimes, literally…

“Make no mistake about it: your unhealthy eating is an act of self-hate.” That’s one of my favorite tough love quotes from Marianne Williamson, a spiritual teacher of mine. Now you might be wondering… “how do I go from self-hate to self-love?” In one of my favorite J-ciniTV episodes I want to share with you…
Read MoreMy Silent Suffering
Continuing with our topic of overeating and fullness from last week, I wanted to share a personal story with you… When I was silently suffering from overeating I would sign myself up for programs that taught portion control. I was tracking, measuring and counting everything I ate. But it only made my fight with food…

Guess what?! Over the past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure of doing TWO LYS segments on CBS! And since September seems to take on a mini “new years resolution effect”, where everyone re-commits to their desires of slimming down and trades summertime sips and splurges for an effort to get back on track, I…
Read MoreHow I Learned To Stop Working Out (And Love Movement!)
When I felt uncontrollable around food, I would use exercise as a way to erase what I had done in the past. At my most extreme, I was exercising 20 hours a week. And nothing about it was fun. Which looking back makes sense. Because for me, exercise was punishment. It was punishment for eating…

I’m not much of a beer drinker. But every once in a while, at a baseball game or like this 4th of July, I’ll want an ice-cold beer. But my digestion is super sensitive and my body can’t handle a lot of gluten without paying a price ;-P Now I have to be honest… a…
Read MoreWhy You Gain Weight Without Eating Extra Food
Do you feel like you gain weight just by looking at food? Like just walking down the ice cream aisle at the grocery store packs on 10 pounds without even putting a spoon to your mouth!? Or have you noticed, during really stressful overwhelming times in your life, you blow up like a puffer fish…
Read MoreDo you emotionally eat? You may be a ‘Highly Sensitive Person’
If I were to name ONE thing that changed everything when it came to finally finding peace with food and my body, this would be it. It literally changed my life. It was a catalyst in dropping my first 10 pounds after years of deprivation and doubling up on workouts got me nowhere. It’s what…
Read MoreHow to Enjoy Your Favorite Foods Guilt Free!
I used to think, in order to have a body I loved, I’d have to swear off my favorite foods FOREVER. No cookies. No cake. No chocolate. I gave this a valiant effort for some time (about 2 weeks was all I could stand) before feeling like I was going insane in food jail. Did…
