Hello,
It has been a very long time since I have posted. This year has provided me with more experiences than I could ever have imagined. Here is just a little bit of what I have been up to, not in any specific order.

Food Issues – a chat with my health coach
My wonderful blogger and friend did an interview with me on her podcast and then wrote about it. Come join us! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
My latest podcast is a chat with my friend and health coach, Vicki Manuel. We talked about our food issues, like emotional eating, the reasons we don’t want to diet and why it’s all about changing the way we think. Continue reading…
There’s No Food In My Food
This is a blog post from a fellow blogger and my client. She has come such a long way and I am very proud of her. Change doesn’t come overnight but you can start the change overnight and that is exactly what she has done. Please take a moment and read her blog post.
As I sit in the drive-thru waiting for my vanilla shake, it occurs to me that I have a first-world relationship with food. What I’m eagerly anticipating to consume isn’t about feeding my body. In a physical sense, I don’t need a luscious, creamy, cold, smooth, delicious vanilla shake.
But I sure do want one.
In my life, food past long ago beyond the role of necessity, and into the realm of luxury and accessory.
While I may eat because I’m hungry, I don’t do so with a mindfulness about nourishing my body. Quite often my aim is convenience.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Thank you for reading,
Vicki
I’ve been working hard lately at observing my thoughts and choosing to change the stories that I tell myself about my life and the things that happen to me. It’s making my entire experience of life radically different as I begin to see myself and the world around me with new—and much more positive—eyes.
As I’ve continued to observe my thoughts, however, I’ve begun to notice that I tend to default to asking “Why?” about the things that happen to me in life. I can spend many hours careful analyzing (and over-analyzing) why a situation turns out the way it did, why someone responded to me the way that they did, why I feel the way I do about something, why did what I did or said what I said in some situation. I do this about events, situations, feelings, or responses I don’t like—and about those that I do.
