Join me for Part 5 of the million part series, Why Do I Overeat?  Today, we’re talking about desire for food.  Is that a good place to spend our desire?  If the answer is no, what do we do about it?

I’ve been on this journey for nearly one year, and the last 3 months have been the hardest yet.  Where do I find the energy to keep going when recent struggles have left me feeling bruised, bloodied and weary?  Today’s episode includes a visit to the Time Phone and epic World War II battles.  Join me as I share the four areas I am investing in to generate the energy I need to keep up the fight.

We’ve studied the research on the impact of stress in our lives, and I’ve shared with you my consequences of a lifetime of poorly managed stress.  Join me today as I discuss my four cornerstones of successful long term stress management – personal responsibility, social support, professional support and faith.

Join me for Part 3 of my series on the impact of stress on overeating and weight loss.  Today’s episode is a little bit of everything – a beach read for your summer reading list, revisiting a story about mass hysteria, a love letter to my personal stress history and some additional stress research which tells us why stress is so hard for many of us to overcome.

In today's episode, learn my theory about the mechanism by which chronic stress can halt active weight loss.  If the theory is right, how do I solve it?  Answering that question led to the development of a stress protocol, a set of changes to implement during times of acute stress.

What does the science tell us about the effects of stress on our weight and eating habits?  Today's episode is a perfect listen for anyone who thinks stress might be holding them back in their goal to stop overeating or lose weight.

Today's episode is short and sweet, a love letter to my mom.  My mom taught me everything I needed to know to be on this journey.  Tune in to find out what I learned from my mom.

Hearing a work story from my brother taught me a profound lesson about love among strangers.  Part two of that lesson taught me about love among people who love each other.  Listen today to hear how the way we love ourselves determines how we love others, and how thoughts about our relationships with others impacts our desire to overeat.

These are all places my scale has been since starting my new eating protocol 270 days ago.  Every morning, I use the data from my scale to tell my story.  In my story, I’m always the hero, I’m always learning, I’m always my own biggest fan.  What story do you use your scale to tell?

Welcome to Part Two in my million part series, Why Do I Overeat?  Today I am talking about overeating during special occasions, specifically birthday parties.  Is it even a big deal?  Perhaps.  Join me as I discuss what I’ve learned about overeating at special occasions that I host.
