Everything I teach is original content based on healing my own pain shame and drama around food, exercise, my body and my weight. This stuff literally drove me to the edge of suicide. When I was seventeen, I was hospitalized for anorexia at 80 pounds. I was in treatment multiple times, yet at thirty, I was somehow 200 pounds. I had spent my entire life dieting and exercising so that I wouldn’t get fat – but I got fat anyway. And then, when I was overweight, the diets and exercise programs weren’t helping me lose any of the weight. (Neither was the therapy, personal development, or spiritual growth.) Toward the end, it wasn’t even about the weight anymore. I had resigned myself to being fat. It was the constant judgment, shame, stress, anxiety and drama picking away inside my head that I just could not take anymore. That had to stop.  I could not keep living this way. Fortunately – or unfortunately – depending on your point of view – someone in my family had already committed suicide. I saw what that did to my mother, and I just couldn’t put her through that again. So, I was stuck. I could not keep living the way I was living – but not living wasn’t an option. Out of desperation, I HAD to find a different way to live. I have been living this "different way" since that dark night of the soul, and I have to tell you – it’s pretty amazing. I eat whatever I want whenever I want – no muss, no fuss, no drama. I move my body in ways that feel good to me. I feel good in my body and I feel good about my body. Other people seem to think I look pretty darn good – especially given my age. But the most important thing is that I have my life back.
