Emotional Eater Empty Nest Syndrome
I heard somewhere that a benefit of the *terrible teenage years* is that parents are better equipped to handle it when their Not-So-Little-Anymores leave the nest.

The UnFood Log… Because You Are What You Don’t Eat, Too.
Why do we keep track of all of the food that we ate that we feel like we “shouldn’t have” when we know that what we focus on, we get more of? The stuff we write down in those Food Logs holds us back. Makes us feel like we need to be saved from ourselves. [...]

What are you bargaining for that you want? And why aren’t you doing more of emotional [...]
Hungry or Not, Eating Is Survival. And A Tip For What You Can Do About That.

How To Do More And Have More Without Doing More Or Having More
Conventional wisdom says that to do lists and goal lists produce outcomes. How do you feel when you think about all you didn’t do and don’t have, compared to how you feel if you think about all you do, and have? To Do lists and I Want lists can also create stress and a sense of [...]

When You’re Trying To Sell Yourself An “I Wish You Wouldn’t”, Know Your Customer
Some people say to themselves… “if I cared about myself, I wouldn’t eat this, or I wouldn’t eat so much of it. I wouldn’t beat myself up. I wouldn’t (fill in the blank.)” If this is you, and you’re wondering how you can stop doing these things and start caring about yourself, look no further [...]
