What's wrong with sugar? It's a drug that makes us fat (yes, all those low-fat products are riddled with sugar!) especially around the middle, it creates fat around our organs; it increases our risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and it is now known to contribute towards premature aging, and by that, I mean anything from wrinkles to Alzheimer's.

Join one of my sugar detox programs and experience the transformative benefits of a life free from sugar!

In modern life, food has become our best friend. We eat to celebrate, to comfort ourselves, to relieve boredom or stress. We are constantly fueling.

The mother goes through a process of elimination until she finds the real problem.

Believe it or not, it's a similar situation with your body. Your body can’t talk, but it can send you messages through discomfort or food cravings that need to be decoded. If we acknowledge and accept our cravings, they will point us towards the foods and lifestyles we need.

A number on the scale seems to be the determining factor of one's success when it comes to weight loss = weight gain. We are judged or we judge ourselves by a number. But does that number tell you how you are feeling, sleeping, craving, fitting into clothes, how your mood will be today. 

As a coach I find myself trying to help clients shift their mindset around the scale and slowly I am succeeding. So, in today's episode i want to give you some pointers on how to weigh yourself and not go crazzzzy!!

Are you weighing yourself daily? That sounds depressing, frustrating and not very motivating. Our weight fluctuates 2 - 4 pounds DAILY so if you're looking to check your progress, doing it daily isn't going to give you a good picture and you're probably going to get pissed off. It's frustrating to be on a healthy kick only to see the scale stall or move in the wrong direction, but if you keep a few things in mind and weigh yourself with consistent variables you'll be a lot happier to step on the scale and you'll get a more accurate picture of your weight.

* Meals don't cook themselves. You cook them.

* Self-care doesn't just happen. You make it a priority to make it happen.

* Time for meditation, yoga or a spinning class doesn't just become available. You intentionally carve out that time.

* Mindfulness doesn't just happen. You cultivate it.

The truth is that the convenient time to take care of yourself never actually comes along. You just decide YOUR moment and when you do, it will be the absolute best time to start making the changes that support YOU.
