Think Yourself Thin
Losing your mental weight is everything. Most women who want to lose weight only focus on diet plans and restrictive food lists. They never look at what the real problem is with their weight. They only treat the symptom but never get down to the actual cause. This is the equivalent of taking aspirin for a broken bone versus casting it and healing it permanently. The biggest most common cause of that extra weight you’re carrying is all the mental drama you’ve unconsciously been holding onto. I specialize in helping women discover what these are so they can get past their mental drama so they can lose weight. Start your…

Update
Where am I now? I think it’s time for an update. Last Fall I went back to school and graduated in Eating Psychology. I learned a lot, but I felt like there was a lot of tools that weren’t taught that I needed in order to help YOU. So, I enrolled in The Life Coach School, and currently I am going through a year long certification program to become a life coach. I have so many new things to teach you that will help you feel better, lose weight, gain freedom from food, love your body, and live the life you want. Hold on to your seat. You’re in for…

Restrciton Love
Last year I “tried on” the belief that ALL FOOD RESTRICTION IS BAD. There are some really loud people out there preaching this. So, I decided to try it out, and see for myself. I went all in. While eating everything and anything was fun for awhile, the consequences of having zero food restrictions weren’t. I felt awful. I gained weight. My aches and pains returned along with a foggy brain. After testing it out, I’ve come to the belief that Restriction = Love Thinking of it this way really helps me. We have restrictions in our marriage. We don’t kiss or have sex with others just because we want…

The Toddler in All of Us
We all have a TODDLER living inside our brain. There are two of the “main parts” of the brain: the Adult Brain and the Toddler Brain. Most of us our functioning with our Toddler Brain. Our Toddler Brain is all about functioning in the moment, and getting immediate gratification. It is reactive and just wants to do what feels good in the moment. It doesn’t like to wait for things or reason things out. It wants what it wants and it wants it NOW! Our Toddler Brain is really good at throwing really loud temper tantrums, and it can whine like it’s going out of style. It acts exactly like…

Appetities
A lot of people, especially women, think having an appetite is bad. What they don’t realize is that our Creator gave us appetites. We are born with them. Appetites are a part of life. We are supposed to have them. But what we do with our appetites is up to us. For example: We can use our appetite for food to feed our body healthy and nourishing meals or we can use it to eat things that harm our body and hinder our health. We can use our appetite for sex to lovingly grow closer to our spouse and to procreate or we can use it to cheat on 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…

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…

May the Odds be Ever in Your Favor
Would you gamble on your money, your life, your health, and your happiness if you only had a 2% chance of winning? I would “bet” (pun intended) that you would NOT and that you’d stay as far away from Vegas as you could. Throughout the year, and especially at the beginning of a new year, there are millions of people, 108 million+ of them in fact, that decide to risk it anyway, and hope that the odds will be in their favor. **fingers crossed** These people go on a diet, a weight loss plan, a program, or a “lifestyle change” with the hopes that this will be the last one.…

Commit, Don’t Quit!
There is a difference between wanting something and committing to something. Wanting is passive. You don’t need to do anything to want something. Commitment requires action. You need to take action, and keep taking action until you reach the results you are looking for – no matter how long it takes. Don’t stop! Go all in! Commit 110%. Give it your all. Don’t sabotage your results just because you’re not seeing the results you want when you want them. Give it time. Amazing results are just around the corner. Would you quit if it was 100% guaranteed that you would reach your goals? No! Of course not- that would…
