Send us Fan Mail  I love the New Year. It feels fresh and well… new.  One thing I do not do, anymore is focus on dieting at the start of the new year (or anytime in the year). I know it is popular AND socially encouraged to go on a diet at the start of a new year.  Diets and dieting fail us in so many ways. The diet industry has a financial stake in us continuing to buy their products and feel bad...

Send us Fan Mail  I have been thinking about my history with candy and Halloween. I have been reminded of the lengths I would go through to not have candy in my house. Does that sound familiar?  I figured if I did not buy it, I would be “safe” from overeating it.

Send us Fan Mail  Do you find you are already thinking about candy? It is front and center in the grocery stores.

Send us Fan Mail  Is your weight your barometer about how you feel about yourself?   Using weight loss to feel better about yourself is based on a fleeting idea.

Send us Fan Mail When my daughter was in preschool, she came home with a paper listing 100 items for a “Summer Bucket List."

Send us Fan Mail In talking about Emotional Eating, it is helpful to determine if you are one. Right?  Emotional eating means you are not dealing with emotions in a way that will fix the problem. The food can help emotions temporarily, but it is not the fix. Emotions need to be dealt with so there is a resolution. When food is used as the resolutions for emotions, the emotions aren’t settled: trut...
