So all year long I do a pretty darn good job at resisting fried chicken, the deliciously greasy, artery clogging fried chicken. Until Labor Day.

I am an emotional eater – the difference is simply that I know that about myself. Growing up, I learned to use food to cope with feelings and stress. Now, the BIG difference in my life is how I relate to the part of me that runs to the cupboard when I am [...]

I was a life long dieter which fits with being a life long binger – because dieting and binging are two sides of the same coin. I didn’t recognize that the same compulsion that drove my unhealthy eating was driving my desire to diet. If you are overweight (or even underweight) because you [...]

My relationship with food has changed – I have myriad practices that honor my intention (which [...]
