As many of my clients know, a few months ago we got a puppy for my sons. As it usually works out, he has went from a puppy for my sons to my puppy. He is my little shadow. Everywhere I go in the house, he is right on my heels. Another benefit is that [...]

by Cathy on 15. Jul, 2008 in Weight Loss and Maintenance

Use Your Voice
by Cathy on 14. Jul, 2008 in Believe In Yourself!
Many people that have weight issues suffer from the disease to please. We feel uncomfortable being assertive which, unfortunately, often leads us to be taken advantage of.

Do NOT have weight loss surgery if: 1. You’re looking for an easy way out. Weight loss surgery is not an easy way out of obesity. You are commiting to changing your life in the way you eat, level of activity, and overcoming the reasons that drive you to emotionally eat. 2. You aren’t willing [...]
There’s No One Like YOU!
by Cathy on 08. Jul, 2008 in Believe In Yourself!

The Power Of Your Choice

We all know people that have transformed their lives through the [...]
