Stop Getting High On Food
I used to get high on food. Then, food was my drug of choice. I used food for comfort and to numb out – to not feel. And I used to love the sugar rush. Sometimes I had 3 huge cinnamon rolls at a time. And that really thick hot fudge marshmallow malt with a [...]

Food On The Brain

Good Habits Are As Addictive As Bad Habits
Did you know that good habits are as addictive as bad habits? I don’t think that most people realize that.

Happy People Have Healthier Hearts
It only makes sense that happy people have healthier hearts – and that’s not new news. In Proverbs 17:22 it says that “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” And Proverbs 23:7 says “For as a person thinketh in their heart, so is he or she.” There are [...]
Margarine or Butter?
Slender For Life™ weight loss hypnosis clients often ask me about which is better, margarine or butter.
