In 1989, I found myself pregnant and eating for two - too many in my case. I gained 65 pounds in that pregnancy, 50 more in the next one and managed to add on about 20 more pounds with no such excuse. Like many women, the baby came out yet the weight stayed behind (on my behind!). The weight took over my personality and my life. My "fat " became a personality trait rather than a physical condition. I was fat - not just my body! After ten years of unsuccessful "dieting," I tried a different way of losing weight that actually worked for me, and surprisingly, it didn't cost me hundreds of dollars in pre-packaged foods. I didn't endure liquid meals and I wasn't hungry all the time. It allowed me to lose the 130+ pounds that consumed me for years, and as a result I got control of my life. I became happier, more productive, stronger and more creative than I ever knew myself capable.


How will that make a difference in your life, you may be asking. What can I say to you, that you haven't already heard a thousand times before?

What I have to say to you is simple, yet powerful, when you truly believe it! You are NOT your body! If you realize this and start immediately to treat yourself with respect some pretty amazing things will start to   happen! The last thing that I want to tell you is that starting 'tomorrow' you are going on a diet, counting calories and grams of fat, beginning a harsh exercise regime and depriving yourself of all the things you like to eat. I won't tell you that. We have all tried it and we know it doesn't last forever. You 'cheat,' and then binge. Lose the weight, only to gain it back, and the cycle continues. What I will attempt to teach you is an attitude of success and to provide you the tools to rebuild your self-esteem. Tools that will carry you far past this current 'self-improvement' project. I want you to realize losing weight is no different than that much needed home remodeling project. It needs to be planned, completed and maintained. You don't want hammers and tools lying around your house for years, and the projects left unfinished… Wouldn't that drive you NUTS? So don't leave your needs lying around, cluttering up your life! Solve the problem permanently!

Now is the time to roll up your sleeves, and tackle losing the weight. What you will realize along the way, will make you happy for who you are. Realizing the uniqueness of YOU, will get you moving out of the improvement phase, and into the high quality of life phase, which doesn't revolve around what and when your next meal will be! You will easily maintain your new healthy body, allowing yourself to reach all of your life's goals. I invite you to join me and begin your own "self-improvement through self-motivation" journey.
