“”This should be the worst thing that anyone can ever say about you (that I have no willpower where food is concerned),” a wise and compassionate therapist once said to me as I mentally and emotionally tortured myself for caving in yet one more disappointing and demoralizing time. I never forgot that and by some grace I could get with that sad but true fact and move on to sharper tools in my toolbox.”…Holiday Mood Swings…Tips Are Not Enough…Co-op Rescue…

“As much as my clients look forward to summer for the anticipated relief from the grinding routine of getting their kids everywhere they need to be (illusion though this often turns out to be!), this very lack of structure poses its own challenges. In all my years of working with fellow weight challenged individuals, I have not met a single soul who can successfully fly by the seat of their pants where food is concerned – at least not in this culture – whether that structure is as tight as pre-made meals (made by them or purchased that way), or as loose as option 1, 2 or 3.

I managed my weight because I understood how to work a caloric budget to save up for an repay indulgences. To the total credit of environmental control which I still assiduously practice, I could contain my treat eating to pre-selected times and places. Who knew however that my appetite was being hijacked daily by the food choices I was making?”…Is A Calorie Not Just A Calorie?…Andrea’s Story…

“I am a graduate of every diet on planet earth (both sensible and ridiculous), could recite the principles of good nutrition and exercise chapter and verse. I’d start out bulletproof, basking in the after glow of weight loss success, until bafflingly, would again find myself derailed and frustrated, just waiting to cycle around to being ready again. I remember when that cost me forty pounds in a single semester.
In all fairness, those programs taught me everything that I had paid to learn…but nothing of what I really needed to know. What to eat was the easy part. How to get myself to do it? Ahhh, now there’s the rub.”..I Did It My Way – Emma’s Story…Power Hour…Got Grace?
