Why you want comfort food
I was thinking of you… I spoke with a client, we’ll call her Tammy. Tammy is a new member of my Weight Loss For Life Group program that starts in April. We did a call on connecting her with her cravings. She had many “AHA’s” but the one we just had was HUGE and I […]
Is Your Energy Blocking You from Losing Weight?
Maya Angelou is one of my favorite poets and this quote screams to me for what I teach and also for you. In order to lose weight, and keep it off, to feel amazing in your skin, you have to like yourself. Liking yourself is not depriving yourself, it’s not choosing things from a lack […]
