This episode is about an incredibly strong craving I had for a Jersey Mikes sandwich that my husband was eating. I recorded it in real time because this is a true accounting of what goes on in my brain. It’s very interesting to observe my thoughts around wanting STRONGLY to overeat when I’m NOT hungry and to be able to get control and overcome the 15 or 20 minutes of strong cravings to get to the other side. #womensdieting #womensupportingwomen #healthjourney #dieting #weightloss

We are a blended family of Seven who came together from very different walks of life. We’ve learned a lot together about caring for each other and how each of us react to drama and trauma in totally different ways. Here is how we ran into a struggle and worked through it as a family! #stepparenting #stepmom #blendedfamily #secondmarriage #momlife

Experimenting around with my hunger signals from tummy to brain has been a real shocker for me! My whole life I’ve used food to comfort, food to entertain, food to cope, but very rarely have I used food to deal with hunger, because basically I’ve never really been hungry!! #momdiet #diet #weightloss #momweightlossjourney #overeater

OK if you’ve ever tried to lose weight you understand that there is no actual magic potion, simple pill or quick fix that’s going to take all that fat off your booty. Take it from me, been battling it for the last 45 years off & on. I will say though that I have learned that journaling is an incredible tool to learn about yourself and that the best defense against weight gain & keeping extra weight off your body permanently is by going through the work and learning the lessons, ultimately strengthening your mind. Journaling is a huge tool to have in your back pocket so that you can see the things that are going wrong and reward yourself for the things that are going right! #momdiet #weightloss #diet #weightlossjourney #feelgoodinyourbody

Covid was a difficult experience for our family. I was quarantined in the bedroom for a week while Thomas took over with the kids and their school schedules and Lincoln‘s preschool. We made it through, but in this episode I’m sharing some of the things that really helped us and some of the things that really surprised us about Covid. #covid2022 #covidmom #momlife #takecareofyou #covidpositivemom

Ok friends, I’ve ALWAYS been a person who eats to busting a gut. I love food, I love to numb out with food, I love to eat a lot and often. 45 days ago I started trying to eat to “satisfied” only, and to my shock, It didn’t kill me. Listen up if this is an issue you are challenged with and you might surprise yourself too! #dieting #weightloss #momdiet #weightlossjourney #overeating

Anxiety and dread are often my first reaction to trying something new. My husband runs toward new experiences and is a totally different person than me. I tell the story of skiing even though I was deep in the fear spiral. I fell, I wasn’t great, it was hard and all the things I was scared of DID happen….And STILL I was ok! I didn’t die! Actually i enjoyed myself. Mostly though, I learned so many big lessons about myself. #momlife #parenting #beingbrave #learningnewthings #pushyourself

I’ve been on this journey working on my relationship with food my whole life. It’s embarrassing to admit but 100% truth. A month ago I found a teacher with a free podcast who rocked my world. These last 45 days have been one of the biggest periods of personal growth I’ve ever experienced. If you struggle with this like I do, have a listen. It’s the first time I’ve ever been pointed away from the powder and shakes of the diet industry and pushed to look inward to my own inner strength. #weighloss #diet #healthjourney #selflove #momdiet

I’m sharing the story of watching my daughter make the same mistake that I’ve been making for the last 45 years. Watching her learning a lesson and realizing I’m still learning the lesson of how important it is to show up even though you’re scared that you’re not good enough. #beingbrave #showingup #momlife #learninglessons #impostersyndrome
