Geneen Roth: Women Food and God
If you didn’t see Geneen Roth on Oprah yesterday it’s a shame. Although I haven’t read her book, I love the messages she puts into the dieting community. I know as soon as Oprah loses weight in this manner the rest of the world will come around. Until then I will continue to go around…
A Different Personal Training Program
For a while I have been searching for my place in the weight loss world. I have been a personal trainer for four years, and I am good at it. I have been a coach for about a year, and I am good at that. However, I haven’t had the most luck on attracting my…
Why Calorie Counting Doesn’t Work
I have made various comments regrading counting calories.

Car Wreck
As many of you know I was in a pretty bad car accident about two years ago. Many of you also know that this car accident was the sole reason why I decided that living was much more important than weight loss. I took this opportunity to stop dieting and start living. Turns out, you…

Variety is The Spice Of Life
If there is one thing I have learned from dieting it is the less variety in my diet the more food I will in turn eat. It also shows me that if I don’t fill my weeks with a variety of different, delicious foods, I will constantly have a desire to eat out. But here’s…
My Poem About Food
Food is something that used to bring fear Fears from cookies, chips and beer All of a sudden a magic cloud appeared Forget your fears, your path is so clear It consists of eating and loving each day Filling it with inedible pleasures, and food my way With flavors, spice and herbs I say Because…
