Out with the old and in with the new! You don’t need to wait until new year’s day to begin new habits; in reality and for better success, you should make a resolution every morning when you rise. I begin today by releasing excuses for poor habits, for second helping and for not being more […]
A friend recently sent me a photo she took of me and her significant other from four years ago. As I look at it, I think, “wow, I looked pretty good just a short time ago”. I’m not that far away from that weight but I’m up slightly – enough to be uncomfortable and self-conscious. […]
These days I find myself both anxious and worried about spring coming, followed by summer, then fall.

I’ve never been a stress eater, in fact, I’m more of a stress non-eater. I forget about food, I’m not even hungry during stressful situations. We all react differently to stress and we can react differently to each type of stress we encounter. For some of us, frustration or feeling lack of control in a […]
