Years ago, during a dark time in my life, I was lamenting to myself that nothing ever seemed to work out for me. Then it hit me. I was the common denominator in all my problems. It didn’t matter what diet or self-help program I tried, or what relationship I was in, the results were always the same and it was never going to change unless I made some fundamental changes to my beliefs, attitudes, and
behaviors.
Up until then, I had searched for and applied all sorts of temporary Band-Aids to a festering wound (myself), but was never willing to address the wound itself. When I realized that if I continued on this path, nothing would ever change for me, I became willing to face myself.
This was when everything in my life began to shift and change for the better. I was now willing to own my part in all my problems. It was scary but it was also liberating. It meant that since I was responsible for my happiness and I was the sole owner of my experiences, I could no longer play the victim, blame others, make excuses, procrastinate, or just coast through life thinking as soon as I found that magic diet, fix, or
person, everything would change or be ok.
I was now the heroine of my own life. No one and nothing was coming to rescue me or fix me. And since I was creating and writing this story called My Life, I better make it a good one.
How about you?
Are you still looking for something or someone to fix it (whatever IT is) and make it all better? Do you get all excited about diets or programs and tell yourself, “This is the ONE! Do you find yourself quickly losing interest when you actually have to start to make fundamental changes to yourself and the way you’re living your life?
Do you become impatient and lose interest when you don’t see big changes right away?
Or do you achieve some success and quit feeling you don't really need help only to start backsliding a few weeks later?
People often want change without doing the real work of changing themselves. After years of coaching people, I have come to this conclusion. What separates the winners and the losers in the game of change isn’t how badly you want something; it’s how willing you are to take an honest look at yourself, get real, and change what needs to be changed from within. You must be willing to invest in yourself, and be willing to be
uncomfortable with the process of change, while learning to be patient, kind, and compassionate with yourself as you learn, struggle, and grow beyond where you're currently at.
Real change means moving beyond your comfort zone and if you’re not willing to go beyond it, there can be no real growth and change. Yes, real change can be a bit scary or uncomfortable but it’s also exciting. You have to be willing to embrace an uncertain outcome and move into unknown territory.
Let’s face it. If you keep doing what you’ve been doing (dieting), and it hasn’t given you what you’ve wanted, it’s time to do something different.
I’d love to be your guide and mentor you as you let go of dieting and embrace a new way of losing weight and overcoming emotional eating through mindfulness, self-kindness, and self-care.
This is really a call to honor yourself. You deserve your own care, love, and attention. So much of overeating is really about self-neglect and self-abandonment.
You can’t neglect yourself and feed yourself scraps, and think you’re going to have a healthy, happy, and wonderful life.
If life is a banquet, then food is a side dish. Isn’t it time you learned how to set yourself a seat at the banquet table of life?

Break Free from Overeating, Make Peace with Food, and Lose Weight Naturally!
Are you obsessed with food, weight, and or dieting?
Do you turn to food for emotional comfort? Do you eat when stressed?
Are you putting off your happiness until you lose the weight?
Have you lost weight only to gain it back and then some?
Do you want to make peace with food and your body?
Are you ready to get off the dieting roller coaster and achieve permanent weight loss?
Are you tired of the dieting yo-yo cycle?
If you're like most people, you've probably tried willpower and dieting to lose weight. Unfortunately, for most people this is not enough. The reason willpower and diets fail is because most people overeat for emotional reasons. Emotional eating is a response to various environmental and emotional triggers. These triggers range from stress, exhaustion, uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, procrastination, boredom, and a need for pleasure and
comfort.
The How You do Food is How You do Life Telecoaching Program is designed to get at the core issues of what triggers overeating. It provides you with solid strategies to overcome the reasons why you turn to food.
The 12 week program consists of 6 live telecalls held every other week and weekly assignments that will transform your relationship with food, get you off the dieting hamster wheel, teach you ways to deal with your stressful and sabotaging thoughts and emotions, teach you how to eat mindfully, and allow your body to lose weight naturally without dieting.
You will also learn how to set up a self-care routine that isn't time consuming so that you can start your day calm, centered, and nurtured. You will become more mindful and peaceful in all areas of your life because "how you do food is how you do life!"
So what does the phrase "How you do food is how you do life" mean?
People who eat overeat often don't realize that their issue with food and weight isn't the real problem. It's only a symptom - a symptom of how they are living their life. If your life is stressful, then you will turn to food to cope with that stress. If your life lacks pleasure and excitement, you will turn to food looking for pleasure and excitement. If you try to control and restrict your food, you will become obsessed with food and overeat. You eat how you are. When you're at peace with
yourself, you become at peace with food. How you do food is how you do life!
Telecalls will start at 6:00 PST/9:00 EST. There will be a call every 2 weeks and weekly assignments and handouts.
Cost is $297.
