I’ve been exploring “intuitive eating” and have found some very interesting things happen. I’ve actually thrown away food, stopped eating in the midst of what would normally be a full blown binge, put food back for “later” and then not eaten it later rather – gave it to my husband to eat, and gave inContinue reading “Breaking the Cycle of Binge Eating Disorder”

The definition of insanity….
Today I experienced an encounter that would previously cause me to binge. The stress from the day would usually lead me to searching for something to soothe the negative feelings. You see, when I feel attacked, or like someone is cornering me, I get defensive and i internalize those feelings. When I do this IContinue reading “The definition of insanity….”
How does she eat THAT and stay so lean?
The great debate. Have you ever met someone who seems to “eat all the time” but stays at a healthy weight? Have you thought “oh they must have a fast metabolism.” While you reach for the next big diet craze because, well, your metabolism must be slow. What if I challenged you to think differently?Continue reading “How does she eat THAT and stay so lean?”
Quiet down and listen
Sometimes it’s important to sit quietly and listen to your heart. In this world of overwhelming demands, we sometimes get lost in our day to day life. I’ve taken some time off from writing in order to search – a bit internally, and a bit externally – for a quiet place to think. It isContinue reading “Quiet down and listen”
Depression…
Some say that exercise is the best way to combat depression – mainly because exercise releases endorphins, and we all know endorphins make you happy. But what happens when that’s not enough?

Break the cycle: the end to Yo-yo dieting
The idea of yo-yo dieting is simple – rapid weight loss, followed by weight gain, followed by weight loss, and the cycle continues.

What in the BULK is going on here?
Today I had a conversation with one of my class members after class, she asked me what machines she could use that won’t make her bulky. She said that she’s seen women working out and they are all big and muscle-y and she doesn’t want to look like that, she wants to be more tonedContinue reading “What in the BULK is going on here?”
Recap 2014, Goals 2015
last year I started the year with a list of goals, and this year I will do the same.
One meal, one day at a time.
It’s no secret I have issues with food, but I also have some big goals. Today is a new day, the first day of a new year, and I’m home from work – sick. Great! I hate being sick, but it is a double edged sword. On one end it sucks because I would likeContinue reading “One meal, one day at a time.”
31 days of clean foods: wrap up
I’m finishing out this series of blogs sick. Woke up this morning with a sore throat and throughout the day I’ve lacked an appetite and my body has slowly deteriorated. I’m sure the sickness I’m feeling is unrelated to food but due to my uneasy stomach today I have had eggs with oats for breakfast,Continue reading “31 days of clean foods: wrap up”
