Renee Jones stepped off the 40-year hamster wheel of yo-yo dieting, reached her goal weight and has maintained it since 2012. She has a Masters’ degree in counseling, a clinical residency, and training in both traditional and contemporary models of care. This education - and her own experiences - led her to the realization that emotional eating is the basis of so many people's weight problems. Learning about and teaching how to overcome this sometimes deadly but completely preventable spiral has become her mission and she has helped numerous women from all walks of life change their habits so they can lead healthier, happier lives.

Adding retirement to the mix of stresses in one's life can certainly cause overeating and weight gain.

Learning how to avoid this trap will help improve your life.
