The Eating Coach

The sugar episode. I lived under the shadow of sugar for almost three decades. I got my exit visa from sugar hell five years ago. Scratch that - I issued my own visa. There are different factors in my success - but getting out of the guilt trap was key for me.

I hope this episdode will de guilt you about your sugar compulsion.

*Stupid Idea of The Week*

This week it's the 'honey is healthy' myth. There is a whole army of snakeoil businesses selling you fake sugar alternatives that are about as healthy as my Michael Sheen obsession (just joking!)

Stupid Idea of The Week

This week it is the treadmill bike. I actually changed my mind while researching what I now consider to be a fantastic fitness invention. Listen as I desribe my OWN (completely not BS) cheaper alternatives. And listen while you can, because these ideas will make me millions by this time next month.

Main Section - How to Have Better Body Image

I talk a little about the roots of my own body hatred which I carried for over 3 decades, and my exit strategy from this mental virus. I don't love my body 24/7 by any means, but I have found a way to love it and on bad days feel neutral about it.

I read a few short extracts from my book The A to Z..... 

*Airbrushed Perfectionism*

*Girl Power*

*Hidden Secrets of Body Confidence*

*Now You*

*What If I Just Can't Love My Body As It Is?*
