I received this yesterday in the email: I am excited. SO excited. After a year of hard work and a few twists in the road, I am officially a registered Health Coach and graduate from Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I was a little lost somewhere in the middle, I have to admit. After hearing from […]
I keep a small notepad with me throughout the day for when I need to write down inspirations, positive notes to myself, as well as negative thoughts that are percolating in my mind. I find that when I write those down, they have less power over me. I want to keep it raw and open with you […]
Following up on my past post, I want to explain why these 20 pounds mean so much to me. (Go read the post first in order to understand this one!) I want to emphasize that buying those jeans was much MUCH more than just accepting I gained a few pounds. For me, buying those jeans […]
Yesterday marked a pretty big day for me. Yesterday, I bought not just one but TWO pairs of jeans. That may not sound like a big deal for you, but to me it was HUGE. HUGE. Bigger than huge. You see, I haven’t gone jean shopping since 2009 when I first started on this weight […]

Yesterday I binged. Oy it was tough. Coming home from work I had a feeling it might happen. And no matter how hard I tried, I simply could not stop it. city of my dreams – NYC!!! Afterwards, I was in desperate need for some comforting and support so I texted a dear friend of […]
Friday night was a big night for me in yoga teacher training. I opened up to my entire class of 20+ individuals about my binge eating disorder. All of you reading my blog may think I openly talk about my binges in real life but truth of the matter is, I hardly EVER talk about […]
