How to measure progress? If the scales were not around…[weight]

The last time I stepped in the scale, few weeks ago, the only words that crossed my mind were “this… is… bulls%&^!” I was in disbelief! So much work! I should be at my goal weight. However the scale didn’t agree. But you know what? This is drama. We don’t want drama…. I looked at […]

Normal vs. Natural [weight loss thinking]

When we treat our weight loss process as something temporary, like a diet, we look forward to return to “normal eating”, once we reach the desired weight. When we look at our weight loss process as a return to wellness, we learn what’s natural for the body, we learn a new, natural way of […]

(video below.) Sometimes we commit just partially to a goal. It’s not conscious. We may not realize how much effort it really takes to get there. But somewhere along the way we need to look at the results we are getting. Are we closer? Are we moving ahead? If we don’t like our results […]

Weight Loss Progress (when there is none)

How do you keep believing that all the effort will pay off when you don’t receive the weekly reward: a lower number on the scale… When there seems to be no progress, how do you keep going? What if progress and success meant that you keep the promise you gave to yourself? That you keep going? […]

A THOUGHT that will nip in the bud overspending and overeating

Many years ago I started using this THOUGHT, when I tried to change my shopping habits. And then sugar eating habits.

What happens when You End Emotional Eating

What’s emotional eating [EE]? Eating when you are not physically hungry; to feel calm when anxious, entertained when bored, and comforted when lonely. And what’s wrong with that? I think you would agree – nobody wants to stop EE because who wants discomfort and denying themselves this instant heavenly sensation that comfort food can give. […]
