I’m sure we’ve all experienced that burning rage of anger at least a few times in our lives. For me, it starts in my chest and it feels like hot lava rising up towards my head. My central nervous system is on full alert and I start shaking. It’s a long time since I felt that way but I remember it like it was yesterday.  Your anger is there is communicate with you This fiery emotion is a totally justified response to betrayal, loss, injustice, hurt, trauma, or violation. It is so important to honour and give space to this feeling (as it is with every feeling) so that we can acknowledge it and look towards what it is that has caused this fire within us.  When we don’t allow ourselves to feel anger we cause ourselves more suffering.  “Suffering is fighting reality.”  And when we don’t consciously make space for the anger to be there without taking responsibility for our emotions and allow it to consume us, we end up hurting others.  So I would like to share with you 6 action steps that will help you to calm your emotions and to ground yourself.

The root of dieting is actually a coping mechanism. It’s an attempt to cope with internal and external stresses.

Internal stresses such as shame, guilt, fear and anxiety and external stressors such as fat-phobia and the truth that the world we live in holds beauty and thinness on a pedestal.

Some of these stressors are based purely on the external fatphobia and values of our culture. For example, dealing with judgements of others on the basis of body size, managing discrimination from professionals such as doctors and colleagues or generally trying to lose weight in order to fit in.

Listen to find out how to cope during these internal and external pressures.

Hedonic eating is eating purely for the pleasure of eating something that you really love the taste of. When you’re hedonic eating, you’re not hungry. In fact, when you’re eating hedonically, your body probably doesn’t need any food at all to maintain energy homeostasis. You simply feel the pull to eat your favourite foods and usually you eat a lot of it.

During hedonic eating, you don’t really care about the negative consequences – such as over fullness, lethargy, swelling, bloating and if you’re an emotional or binge eater, all the painful feelings of guilt, shame and failure. During your hedonic eating episodes, all you can think about and focus on is how good it feels to be eating and tasting.

When I first started exploring ‘cures’ for my disordered eating – my disordered eating was binge eating disorder, I was an emotional eater and even more so, a hedonic eater – I literally thought I was addicted to sugar. I was obsessed with anything sweet.

I researched sugar addiction and read numerous books on it and my conclusion was:

Self-confidence. What does it mean to you to be self-confident? I’m not just talking about your body, I’m talking about YOU as a whole person, including your personality, your values and how you show up in the world.

Let’s start this off by defining what self-confidence actually is and then I’m going to share with you 5 tips to improve your self-confidence…

Confidence comes from a Latin word fidere’ which means “to trust”; therefore, having self-confidence is having trust in one’s self.

I invite you to answer the following questions in your journal:

Do you trust yourself?

If you were looking at yourself through someone else’s eyes and you saw yourself in a room full of people, would you bet on yourself to step up to achieve the goal – whatever that may be relevant to you?

Why or why not?

As with most things I teach, improving your self-confidence involves changing your mindset! Here are 5 tips to implement into your life to dramatically improve your self-confidence...

With the overwhelming choice of diets, meal plans and magic pills out there, You’d think we’d all be dieting pros by now. There are countless experts telling you they know the secret to getting slim by eating this or avoiding that. And then there’s the old “calories in versus calories out” equation that seems so simple at the surface, but is much harder when putting in practice. And with 45 million people in America alone dieting each year and most people failing at those diets, it’s obvious that there is so much more going on underneath the calls to snack on kale chips and forget the calls of McDonald’s.  I want to talk to you about what I wish I had known about diets 20 years ago… Diet’s don’t work long term!  With all the dieting I have done in my life, I always ended up bigger and heavier than I was before I started! I use to think it was my lack of will power and my weak will to be able to stick to anything but now I know the dirty truth…
