Like many of you reading this, I struggled with my weight for years. I struggled for most of my life.

And like many of you, I tried diet after diet. Every now and then, I’d find one that I could stay on long enough to lose a decent amount of weight. Then I’d go off the diet for one reason or another and go back to the way I always ate.

And I got the same results I always got when I did that. I gained weight.

I thought I knew everything there was to know about food and eating and diets. 

But I really didn’t know much at all. Yes, I knew how many calories were in every food I ate, but knowing that didn’t help me to lose weight.

I wanted to be thinner, yet I kept gaining weight.

That’s because I didn’t understand some very important things about weight loss and about my relationship with food. I ate compulsively. I ate as a way to distract myself from negative emotions. Maybe you do that too. 

Then I signed up to work with a weight coach in a group program, and everything changed. Instead of counting calories or carbs or fat or points, I could eat the foods I loved. All I had to do was change HOW and WHY I ate. No food was off limits. No deprivation!

I learned how to eat the way naturally slim people eat. And for the first time ever, I lost weight without a lot of effort. 

AND I didn’t gain it back, either!

Although I imagined that things would change if I lost weight, like that I could wear certain clothes, and would look better in them, I was clueless about the best parts. 

The surprises. The things that started to happen that I didn’t even realize were possible.

Like that I would actually stop overeating. And not even desire to overeat! I wasn’t even aware that I had been overeating. 

Like stopping eating for emotional reasons. I no longer thought of turning to food when I felt sad or angry or bored.

Best of all, I could have a peaceful relationship with food and eating! 

These were things that I never even realized were possible. 

I was so excited, not only about having finally lost the weight but about not having to waste my time obsessing about my body, food, eating and diets, that I decided I had to share what I learned with every other person who struggles like I used to.

And that’s why, starting on March 20, I’m launching the Weight Loss for Foodies Podcast. Because I want to teach anyone who wants to listen, for free and without commercials, everything you need to know to lose weight and keep it off in a sane and sustainable way.
