Losing Weight without Losing Hope

August 3rd, 2010 at 11:14am Under Diet Advice

There is no quick solution to being overweight.  [...]

The Journey Perspective

July 22nd, 2010 at 10:24am Under Diet Advice

Process driven thinking is very different that result driven thinking – my weight release program is a process.  Honestly, it is also my personal process – and it is always a journey.  I have been a compulsive eater – it is easy for me to get triggered and find myself binging on unhealthy foods.  The [...]

Food and Booze – My Weekend Weakness

July 16th, 2010 at 08:34am Under Diet Advice

When the weekend rolls around I feel inclined to let loose a little.  I don’t drink like I did in my 20s but I still crave a drink or two on a Friday night.  Dinner parties on Saturday or a family get together on Sunday can involve alcohol as well.  The challenge is the food [...]

Stop Making Your Unhappiness About Your Weight!

July 8th, 2010 at 09:05am Under Diet Advice

“I’ll be happy when…” (you complete the sentence). I know all about this – for me it was a number on the scale – my “goal weight”. For others it is a dress size or a special outfit they once fit into.

Obligated to Eat

June 24th, 2010 at 09:31am Under Diet Advice

In almost every culture food is a gesture of goodwill. A person extends a plate of food – an offering of friendship or love. I can see the Italian grandma right now in my mind, “Eat! Manga! Manga!”
There is a restaurant that my wife and I used to go to regularly – we [...]

June 23rd, 2010 at 10:18am Under Diet Advice

Compared to soda, iced tea is a much healthier way to quench your thirst this Summer. But when trying to cool down, think twice before pouring yourself a tall glass of iced tea. One cup of Nestea lemon iced tea has over 21 grams of sugar, and one can of Lipton Brisk tea has 18 [...]
