Stop Emotional Eating With This Surprising Secret (and it doesn't involve willpower)

I used to think emotional eating at night was all my fault. I thought, as an over 50 woman, I would have control at this point. I just couldn’t stay out of the sweets at night. I thought all I had to do was “lock it down” and have some willpower. Little did I know that my day from morning until that eating moment was the real predictor of my comforting myself mindlessly with food at night.

If you suspect emotional eating is sabotaging your health, making your cholesterol or blood sugar rise or affects your mood, keep reading. This one secret will help in all areas of your health, even with some menopausal symptoms.

Break Free from Scale Obsession: Finding Authentic Body Positivity Without Constant Weighing

I know the scale can feel like a judge, giving a verdict on your day and eating behavior based on that single number. I am going to challenge you to shift your perspective on the scale and its importance in your health journey. Imagine if you could look at your health, life and progress in other non scale ways that truly reflect how you feel, how your clothes fit, or how much energy you have. It may sound impossible after being subjected to diet culture for so many years.

Food and Your Mood

Are you sitting in the waiting room feeling like your health is out of control? In a time when you may feel you have little control over your mind or body, there is one thing you can control with depression and anxiety.

Cashew Milk on the Fly

You know how I like easy recipes. This cashew milk took less time to make than driving to the grocery store and getting a packaged and processed cashew milk. I love knowing it’s fresh and has no preservatives. If you have the ingredients at home, you can make this in 15 minutes.

Butternut Squash Soup: Sunshine In A Bowl

Do you ever try to eat foods you don’t like or just don’t fit you just because they are healthy? I really love a great salad with tons of vegetables, greens, nuts and a light homemade dressing, but I also love warming and grounding foods. That is why I make soup any time of the year. I love warm food and my husband, Mike, likes cool food. Luckily, this soup goes great with salad so we get both the best of both worlds!
