Inspiration
I am so inspired. People transform themselves in so many ways using the Peaceful Weight Loss process. I have seen so many people rid themselves of patterns that no longer serve them and become happier and healthier as a result.
A few examples of Peaceful Weight Loss success from this past year:

Intention
The holidays are a minefield for us folks with food issues. It can feel like someone has loaded a machine gun with foods that we often don’t want to eat and we are the target. This coupled with the ordinary holiday stress and we’ve got a full-blown disaster on our hands.

Possibility
I have been so inspired lately by those that I have the privilege of working with. Over the last few months I have watched people move from intense suffering into a place of peace. I have seen people reduce their blood sugars, people move out of chronic pain, and others find a way to no longer binge and purge. I have also witnessed people physically transform as no-longer-needed pounds disappear. [more]

You Don’t Have To Be Someone Else
We eat with other people. We watch other people eat. We read about what other people eat. We talk to other people about food. We feed other people. And they feed us. That’s a lot of input on a subject that gives us a bit of trouble. [more]

Effort and Acceptance
"I can’t believe I did that!" How many times have we said this to ourselves? We have been changing our way of being for months or years, and then - BOOM - out of nowhere an ugly habit rears its head. [more]

Spring Cleaning
Spring is almost here, and it often brings thoughts of renewal and cleansing. Time to get rid of the old and make room for the new. When we think about our yoga practice, we can be drawn to thoughts of cleaning out our body, but really it is our mind that needs some “cleaning.” [more]

Happiness and Motivation
It’s February. And here in New England anyway, it’s pretty common for people to have trouble motivating this time of year. The cold weather and lack of sunlight add to the feeling of wanting to shut the alarm off and go back to sleep. How do we stick to our intentions when the external factors seem to be against us? How do we wake up and practice when we just don’t want to? [more]

My Story
At 30, I found myself with an autoimmune disease, overweight, and confused. At my peak I was 100 pounds heavier than I am now. I had gained the weight slowly over ten years or so... [more]
