Feel like travel is the enemy of weight loss? Maybe you’ve been here before… You eat healthy food and workout for a few weeks or even a month, and you are feeling really good. But then, it’s time for a vacation or work trip, and suddenly all your strategies go right out the door. Then, [...]

Except this wasn’t the typical kind of before and after photo - in this one, her before picture was of her looking ripped standing on stage in [...]
Transformation happens when you become willing to go deep and do the emotional work that’s required, but often that’s the scariest place to go. It’s tempting to use food to numb out and stay stuck.
