I have always had a passion and love for health and wellness, but like most women, I have tried every diet, diet pill, shakes, plans, etc. out there to try and lose weight.  I thought, like most, that the magic pill had to be out there somewhere!  I ate all the fat-free, zero calorie, cardboard food products and didn’t lose even one pound!  I was frustrated to say the least and constantly critical of myself and extremely self-conscious.  I used exercise for punishment for overeating, but I also used it as a reward to justify eating more!

​

In the early 1990’s I joined a religious “weight loss” program which taught us simple lifestyle changes, behavior modification, and listening to our bodies.  I went back to eating REAL food, gave up the diet mentality, started listening to my body and lost weight without even trying!  It changed my life forever!
