Stop worrying about weight. What I mean by that statement is I understand that most of us decided to get the Lap Band for the purpose of losing weight. But the only way to sustain any weight you will lose is by developing a different relationship with how you feed and honor your body.

Intuitive Eating – Part Five – Challenging the Food Police

What is the food police? It is that inner voice that tells you you can't have certain foods, should be following particular dieting rules, and have to pay time in the prison of guilt for not eating the "right" thing. Almost all of us have a food police voice in our heads. It comes from all the information that we get over the years and adopt as law for how we eat.

Intuitive Eating – Part 6 – Principle 5: Feel Your Fullness

Think about the last meal you had. How did it end? Did you eat the amount you had planned for that particular meal and stop afterwards, despite still feeling like you could eat a little bit more?

Or did you eat until satisfied, even if it meant leaving food on your plate or going back for more?

The Trick to Managing The Treats

Halloween can be a scary time of year when you are watching your weight. You seem to be haunted by all that candy in the house, leading to a full-blown candy binge, chocolate hangover, and vows to do better tomorrow.

When what you really crave is “bad,” you feel guilty for even wanting it and deprived because you can’t have it. The result?
