My weight issues surfaced when I became pregnant.  Before I knew it, I gained five times more than my doctor had expected and went from 120 to 200 lbs!  My eating was out of control! I just couldn't stop.  I know what it's like go to the doctor and feel the humiliation and dread of hearing how much weight I've gained!

Fortunately, I addressed the emotional issues that were triggering my weight gain and finally understood my personal plight in the mood-food-hormonal connection.  After delivering a healthy baby, I lost all my excess weight and more.  Since then, I have maintained my original weight, and I feel still feel great. 

How did I make the connection?  I stopped hiding from my problems and found the courage to take a good look at myself and what I was doing to my body.  I learned that I needed to stop my inner critic.  I knew I had to deal with WHY I was overeating, or I would never conquer this weight problem.  Once I did, I made the decision that food would never rule me again!  (And it doesn't!)

Since 2002, I have been helping clients overcome fears, anxieties and depression so they can recognize and address their own emotional connections with food.  I believe this is a vital step that everyone needs to take in order to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
