Stop Buffering
: Buffering is when we use external things to change how we feel emotionally. It can be anything that serves as a protective barrier from having to fully experience our lives and the sometimes intense emotions that accompany it. It’s something we do to keep from fully experiencing our lives, to hide from reality, to procrastinate, to not show up and face the music. We’re mostly buffer because we feel entitled to feel happiness and pleasure all of the time. We are constantly bombarded with suggestions of ways to do this: You should go eat something You should go buy something You should go watch something These are all FALSE PLEASURES…

Body Love
Body image is a huge topic right now, and it should be. Body image is defined as how we feel in and about our body. It has nothing to do with our appearance. Many people believe that their body is the problem. What they don’t realize is that the problem is not with their body, but with the way they think about their body. I believe that developing a positive body image, or what I call “BODY LOVE”, feeling good about your body from the inside, not just how it looks, will improve our health and increase our happiness levels. I believe deep down we all want to love our…

How I lost 50 pounds
Once upon a time, I thought I knew everything there was to know about being healthy and losing weight. I had tried every plan, pill, and program out there but I was still carrying an extra 50 pounds on my body. I finally decided I had had enough! So, I stop dieting and forcing myself to run 5 miles every day (something I hated), and I started listening to my body. I began untangling the emotional ties I had to food and my extra weight I learned to feel my feeling instead of eat them. I learned to manage my mind. I stopped listening to what my brain was telling…

Weaknesses
I recently learned an amazing concept from my coach that has changed my life. She taught me that we all have strengths and weaknesses. We were born with them. They’re part of our genetics, our DNA, who we are. Our weaknesses are patterns in our personality type, our natural way of doing and thinking things. The things we came to earth prewired with. Weaknesses are different than bad habits. Habits are things like yelling at our kids, or overeating. Habits are not an engrained part of our DNA. They are something that we’ve learned along the way, and because we’ve learned these behaviors we can completely unlearn these behaviors. The…

What If?
What if happiness = thinness and not thinness = happiness? What if you stopped blaming your body for your unhappiness and decided to just be happy in spite of what your body looks like? What if you decided you loved your body enough to care for it the way it wants to be cared for, not the way the world and our culture teaches? What if you stopped tying your weight to your self-worth and just decide that you’re worthy just because you’re you? What if the way out of your weight struggle was not through changing your body, but through changing the way you think about your body? What…

Being Enough
23 Most women think that somehow their life will magically be better once they lose the weight. That somehow being thin, will make them more confident, beautiful, talented, kind, etc. I used to believe this. Then I lost the weight and guess what? I was still the same old me with the same old insecurities and problems. I thought I’d feel happy once I lost all the weight and got down to a certain skinny jean size. I thought my life would be nothing but rainbows and butterflies. Boy was I wrong! The truth is your weight does NOT determine how worthy or adequate you are. Self-confidence and BEING ENOUGH…
