Becoming Clear About Your Weightloss Goal

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

When clients come to me with big weightloss goals, I ask them a few questions and I find out that that these clients are pretty unclear about what they want and they will give up on their goals before they even start. Goals only turn into reality once you become clear about it! I do [...]

Afraid of putting back on the pounds?

Monday, April 30th, 2012

I have had clients who have lost weight and feel really good about themselves, but complain that they struggle with a part of themselves, after they have met their goal. This is where a change in diet alone does not work because most people have not worked on the issues that are making them gain [...]

A client’s story on how she couldn’t stop eating…

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

I was having a conversation over Skype with one of my client’s and she shared with me how she remembers a time when she had to go to an event with her husband, and as she entered the venue, people at the door were giving out her favorite dessert (an east indian delicacy). She ate [...]

What do I do with my fat clothes?

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

One of the things I teach in my Law of Attraction classes and attracting healthy weight workshop is how we give attention, energy and focus to things even though they are unwanted. To stop giving attention to negative, we have to start eliminating the words – DON’T, NOT and NO because even when you say, [...]

Pt 2 of Social Eating

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

As a life coach and weight-loss expert, when clients talk about how social eating gets difficult at times, especially when my client is watching their diet, I ask them to go back to when they either overate or ate something that they felt guilty about after and I tell them that every behaviour has a [...]

What is about food and being social?

Friday, February 17th, 2012

I believe that when we socialize and have food around, food is the one common factor among the people in the social group. Moreover, it helps create memories with friends and family. I am sure you remember a time or a special night out with friends or family, or special events, and it involved food. [...]

Is there a Positive Intention Behind a Negative Habit or Behaviour?

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

In Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) I was taught that there is a positive intention behind every behaviour. Yeah right, I told myself! However, the more I would explore someone’s behaviour, I would end up finding a positive intention. What is positive intention? It is what the person gets out of doing that behaviour/habit. For example, [...]

Do you Numb your Feelings with Food?

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Do you find yourself eating when you are tired, stressed, angry, upset, bored or overwhelmed? Where do you think this behaviour of emotional eating came from? Do you remember your mom, dad, grandparent or older sibling saying to you, ” Eat this it will make you feel better.” or what about the media – TV [...]

Why Do I Self-Sabotage?

Monday, October 10th, 2011

I have a client who is releasing weight and she booked a session with me because she found herself sabotaging her efforts. For example, she is staying away from products that contain gluten because she knows she feels sluggish after and it causes bloating. She was at a conference all weekend and all she could [...]

How Can I Be More Present…. in the moment?

Monday, May 16th, 2011

I have a client that I have been seeing for a few months and he really wanted to work on his tendency to “take on more things ” or he would just “do one more thing” before leaving for his appointments and then end up being late by a few minutes, which he did not [...]
