Wednesday, April 04, 2018 6 comments I'm so pleased to be 58 years old and facing the rest of my life from a place of health and gratitude. I no longer recognize the obese woman I was at 43 - when I first started this life changing journey. What has it taken to maintain a significa... Read more
A decade.
Thursday, January 02, 2014 6 comments Last year I was a bit late - forgot the date completely actually. This year I'm two days early but perhaps that's because it's a landmark. 10 years ago on the 4th of January I said "enough". 10 years ago I had just come off a holiday eatin... Read more
National News?
Monday, September 16, 2013 12 comments Last week created a bit of buzz of the 15 minutes of fame variety for my husband and me. Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a half page article on us for its "How They Lost It" feature. While I had hoped a little more abou... Read more

No longer afraid of Real Mayonnaise
Tuesday, April 03, 2012 6 comments I had to laugh at a recent episode of Biggest Loser when last year's contestants were aghast at Buddy's choice of a tsp of REAL mayo over one of the fake options. Seriously, there were several outraged comments and Becky looked like she'd been t... Read more
What Health Is...
Tuesday, December 06, 2011 7 comments One of my first memories of being a sweet young first year university nursing student is sitting in a classroom during orientation and being required to write out a definition of health. At the time I recall thinking “what the heck do I know ab... Read more
Mythbuster
Friday, November 18, 2011 10 comments As I approach my 3rd anniversary of permanently removing 85lbs from my body, I am thinking about all of the rules I have broken in the weight loss and maintenance game. You know the ones I’m talking about: do this and this and this and for heave... Read more
Afraid of Commitment?
Friday, November 04, 2011 4 comments It's as old as time itself. The story of a couple hooking up but one of the pair is afraid of making a long term commitment to the relationship for fear of how it would restrict their future choices. In literature and film, it usually results in... Read more
Balancing Act
Wednesday, July 20, 2011 7 comments When I was a young girl, Olga Korbut ruled the gymnastic's world. Of all her feats in the gym, the balance beam was my absolute favourite. How any human could make the moves she was able to make on that narrow, (and dangerously hard), plank of w... Read more
Getting up and doing it all again today
Wednesday, July 13, 2011 7 comments When you successfully lose a large amount of weight and maintain that loss, people want to know the secret. Because, we're all convinced that there's a secret. I am getting used to people looking me up and down when we first get together after a... Read more
What do I deserve?
Thursday, June 23, 2011 7 comments It's funny that the universe is so steadfast in its ability to send to you what you need or should have! I haven't billed my new, private coaching practice as weight loss coaching yet I am attracting primarily clients who wish to lose weight. Be... Read more
Feeding our feelings.
Thursday, June 09, 2011 11 comments I recently asked a client if she thought she were an emotional eater. Her response struck a chord with me. "Well," she said, "I used to be. But I haven't had that much stress in my life lately and I'm still eating poorly so I don't know that I r... Read more
