• Adversity is opprotunity,  Believe you are capable of succeeding,  Life change can be met with resistance,  Your thinking can affect you negatively,  Overcoming a challenge makes you stronger,  Identify the things getting in your way,  Change the voices in your head dictating your life

Things that are life-changing are rarely easy. Every good thing you’ve accomplished and reaped a personal reward from was met with some type of resistance. Why would we expect eating for a healthy lifestyle to be any different as we tear down a decades-old dynamic in our life to implement a newer, better one. Read More

• Every battle starts with our thinking,  We need more than willpower to achieve our goals,  change your thoughts and control much of your life,  It is our choice what we think,  Our attitude will determine how well we do,  The path we take is determined by the way we think

• faulty thinking of food restiction,  how foods create weight gain,  certain foods drive up sugar quickly,  how cravings begin,  hormones incite food cravings,  educational strategy for weight loss

“I Feel My Food is Too Restrictive” can be the foundation of faulty thinking that believes once we go on a “diet” and lose our weight or reach our goal, we can then be done and go back to our old foods again. This is a common thought when people are close to maintenance. It’s almost like a magic line people feel they cross and can now eat all kinds of foods. This thinking, however, tells us that internally we are still fighting with the truth of what many of those foods have done to create weight gain in the first place, but also how they have affected our body’s biochemistry and fostered inflammation and disease states within us.
