The Cake Plan

I wonder sometimes what the actual turning point in my life was…the one thought, or attitude which changed my perspective from -I can’t, to -I can?

Body Image -Perception or Reality?

Not struggling with food has given me a new awareness of what it means to be healthy. I don’t have to be “thin” to be healthy or good looking. Health and beauty come in every shape and size.

Self Control -It May Not Be What You Think

… self control isn’t about forcing myself to eat the right foods and exercise more. It’s not about making myself feel guilty for eating too much or the wrong foods. It’s about allowing myself to function naturally, trusting that I have what it takes to love and nourish myself regardless of what anyone else says.

Power Of Habit or Bad Hair Day?

…I stopped judging myself and started seeing my behavior for what it really was – a habit born out wanting to ‘fit in’ and the stress surrounding that. This was a giant first step in changing my life. If I can do this, you can too.

The Bathing Suit Test

…If being my best means that I am skinny, but my mind is constantly on my body and weight, how is that my best?

Looking For Miracles

I don’t expect to skip over all the hard stuff in life. But, I know my life is only as good as I expect it to be.

Choose To Be Present

…being present is not about trying to be present or mindful as much as it is about allowing whatever happens to just happen. That is, I can allow things to happen without reacting to them or trying to make things the way I think they should be.

Time For A Thought Check

…learned that I created my own suffering with my thoughts. It took many years to delete all the scripts. But this was only because I had the idea that the process of psychological change was difficult, time consuming and painful, which it is not.

Trying Too Hard?

…You can create your own truth. And your truth is more real than what anyone says about you or how anyone treated you in the past.

What Makes You Happy?

To be happy and at peace, you don’t need to be thin or rich or possess any certain characteristics or personal qualities. You don’t need to have everything just the way you think life should be. I challenge you to figure out a way to say, “I am the happiest person I know.” Take the risk and watch your life change.
