I find that the most effective method in dealing with feeling enslaved by food, is to realize that food is not the issue. It's not what you're eating that's the problem. It's what's eating you. Stress! If you are experiencing feelings of hunger that are so strong that you have tears in your eyes, it's not the food that…

I know how devastating it can be to face a scale that's got news that you don't want to hear. But realize that for the most part, scales are pretty unreliable, especially if your intention is to use them to make you feel better. They're slippery little suckers and they'll hold your self-esteem hostage if you let them.…

A binge is your body's way of crying for help! Part of the problem is the pressure that you're feeling to lose the weight. If a part of you feels at all conflicted around getting thinner, your subconscious mind will trigger a cascade of hormones that will stimulate your body's urge to eat. Your body shuts down when it's…

I like to look at things from a big picture perspective. Our body is energy, and everything we do, even the thoughts we think are energy. When you were a cheerleader in High School you might consider that you put a lot of your energy into learning how to build your body and challenge yourself physically. But it's very…

Hi Danielle, Me too. I love salads also, and totally freaked out about the kale. But I'm a believer now. Oops. I notice that my recipe is off. I'll post the correct amounts and ingredients later today. Would you believe that I still have not yet had the kale? Thanks for the reminder. I'll look forward to having it tonight.…

Hey there Diane, I agree. I'm ready for it. It's just one more challenge that I know EFT can handle. You can bet after I figure it out, I'll be writing a book about it to help other women do the same. For now, I'll work on managing my own symptoms and share with the group what I discover. Thank you for the support. Hugs,…

Fabulous. You can find a ton of stuff on Youtube. Just Google it. And since I'm a practitioner and here, just ask me any questions and I'll be happy to help if I can.

Hi Helen, Great to have you here. What a precious kitty Misty is! I have an especially soft heart for all kitties, especially rescues. My kittie, Owie came to us over 10 years ago as a stray and we adopted him and fell deeply in love. Just like Misty he now also thinks he's royalty. It's wonderful that you're walking and…

Just googled ice pop molds on Amazon and found this page. I have the green Ozera pop molds. I love them because they give you a really substantial sized pop. Get creative and play around with the recipe. You can even sneak in veggies where they're least expected.…

OMG. With the almond butter and apples, you can make a homemade apple crumble. There's a fabulous recipe included in the Stone Wave crock? Do you have a Stone Wave? I love it because the intensified heat flavors the food and it's a much richer flavor than microwaving.

Mint tea pops are great. I think I'll whip up a batch today. Thanks for the inspiration.

Not sure how many carbs this would be but here are some of my fave ideas: My daughter and I like to make ice pops out of anything. She likes blending fresh strawberries and yogurt and I enjoy either sugar free chocolate pudding or either lemonade or sweet tea pops. Another favorite sweet treat for me is orange sherbet and…

Hi Rebecca, First let me Congratulate you for finishing school. OMG! What an amazing accomplishment! Many people would die to be in your shoes. I'm so thrilled that you've joined the group because together with the group's input, I will offer you new tools to handle your stress and that will make it easier for you to put…

Hi Helen, Welcome! It's great to have you here with us. What an amazing accomplishment to be such a strong and determined walker. How do you manage to walk 50 miles a week? What is the average amount of time you walk each day? I'd love to walk, but I tend to prefer the gym. Please tell me more about your workout. I'd be…

Hi ForeverDanielle, I'm so happy that you're here in this group. If you read the posts and feel inclined to ask for help and share your thoughts and questions, you'll expand your image of what's possible. As an empowerment coach I'm all for teaching people how to envision new possibilities. The focus of the group here is…

Dear Joan, Welcome to the group. I'm happy to have you here. Thank you so much for sharing a bit about yourself and what challenges you're facing. It's very difficult having a family member who struggles with mental illness. I understand the level of fear and uncertainty that follows the illness. My mother was diagnosed…

Hey there Naomi, Welcome to the group. I'm so glad that you're here. Being a mom really does change everything. Doesn't it? It did for me. Is that your lovely daughter in the photo? I'm a mom too. I have two kids. My son, 23 and my 18 year old daughter. Right now I'm going through some changes because my daughter is…

Hi farmers_daughter, I'm going to go out on a ledge and tell you that you should not pay any attention to what you eat or how much. I'm a professional certified empowerment coach and author and as a reformed dieter I've learned how detrimental diets are to our self-esteem. Focusing on what and how much you're eating is all…
