As I continued to listen, the trepidation she was feeling turned to anger (at first to me for "making" her admit out loud that she was still a dependent) then to embarrassment for admitting out loud that she was still a dependent and then to sadness again for admitting out loud that she was still a dependent. She then looked at me almost through newly cleared eyes with an understanding beaming through them as if for the first time she allowed herself to make the connection and freely ADMIT it without being judged, fearful or ashamed and said . . . "Food is my drug!"<< MORE >>

I feel I'm a pretty strong person physically in many ways. I mean, I workout after all, on a regular basis, so you would expect it. Well, Suzanne Bowen and Leah Sarago of Barre Body Method proved me wrong! Okay, so I still think I'm in pretty good shape, but clearly, I don't do enough cross training. I'm sort of stuck in my routine right now and I like it that way. It's what keeps me working out and not complaining, so I'm sticking with it even with . . .<< MORE >>

My question became one of effectiveness vs. sleeplessness. In order for it to be effective, do I have to sacrifice my sleep? I decided to first try to make sure I took the pill much earlier as directed. That seemed to be the most logical step. So, Friday, I took the pill at about 5:00 p.m. thinking that would give me until 10:00 to get it out of my system (the directions say "five hours before bedtime"). Since I didn't actually go to bed until around midnight, I figured surely I would be safe, yes? It was a sound plan but not quite what I had hoped for. . . << MORE >>

Two days taking Hydroxycut Max now, and it's been quite interesting. Of course, as I mentioned in the introduction, they recommend that you slowly work your way into taking the "suggested" dosage to assess your tolerance. Well, my tolerance level must be pretty low because I'm only on one pill, two times daily, and it's tearing me up. . .<< MORE >>

For one thing, I know she and I both will eat things we don't normally eat anyway which is okay. There will be foods, snacks, meals and desserts at our disposal and convenience that we don't see on a regular basis. Since I don't make a big deal about food one way or the other (I more gently guide her and teach by example), when there are foods that aren't so good for her around, and she wants to try it, I'll let her try it. However, I will also ask her if what she is eating is considered "good heart food," or a "treat." We talk about it and I help her understand why that isn't a food I have around the house or eat very often. . . << MORE >>

Okay, so what did you really expect? It was a cream that promised to firm my "eh-em" flabby areas, and well, so for not so much. It also really stinks which tends to make one a bit self-conscious when around others . . << MORE >>

Dr. Kal put all of his book knowledge and experience in losing weight and put it in an incredible eBook for you to read. It's great! It follows a lot of the same principles I use in my sessions with my one-on-one Hungry Heart clients. He really looks at changing your lifestyle and helping you find a way to make simple changes that last forever. He even has a great book to start it all called, The Primer. It has a Weight Loss Readiness test so you can see if you really are ready to lose weight . . . for good.<< MORE >>

I recently heard someone say, "Leave the past where it belongs . . . in the past." I actually hear this a lot in my line of work from various people. It isn't a new phrase and probably all of us have heard it or perhaps even said it ourselves, but have we ever really thought about what it means or why it's being said? << MORE >>
