You're an Expert Dieter

You're really good at following rules. You thrive on structure and feel an immediate high every time you commit to a new diet. It doesn't matter which one because you've done them all. And the thing is, some of them have "worked" (key word...have) until you can't take it anymore. And when you're not dieting, you sprint to the other end of the spectrum, eating all the things, spiraling out of control. The weight comes back (and then some).Cue feelings of guilt, shame, and frustration that you let yourself get here again.So you go back to counting, tracking, and restricting. Rinse and repeat.You're exhausted by this never ending cycle but don't know what else to do. You can't imagine feeling in control without a diet. So you're stuck on the dieting rollercoaster. It doesn't have to be this way! Did you know that dieting is actually a top predictor of weight gain and binge-like eating? Studies have shown that upwards of 95% of people who diet will gain the weight back in 6 months to 5 years (most of it comes back in the 1st year post diet), and up to two-thirds of people will end up at a higher weight than they started. Cue Alanis Morissette's "Ironic."The good news is, there is another way to eat (and live!) to stop the yoyo dieting and weight cycling while still feeling in control of your food choices.And I'd love to show you how.Join my free training How to Feel in Control Around All Foods (without diets or willpower) where I'll teach you:Why continuing to diet is only going to lead to more cravings, feeling more out of control around sweets, snacks, and carbs, and ultimately weight gain (this is NOT your fault).The exact steps you need to take to stop spending so much time worrying about food so you can clear up precious brain space for other thingsMy go-to simple steps to help you have more energy, feel good in your body, and build healthy habits that last (aka you’ll still be doing these next year!).Register for the free training

You’re a Diet Rebel

Strict rules aren't your thing and you know diets don't work. You don't have the time/patience for them (seriously, who does?). But even if you're not on a diet, you're still living by rules that you've collected over the years from past diet attempts or maybe from your mom, doctor, coworker, or social media. And these beliefs are keeping you stuck in a cycle of restricting and binging (or just eating all the junk and constantly feeling bad about yourself). I'm guessing you're here because want to eat healthy, feel better in your body, and feel in control of your food choices. You'd love to bake cookies with your kids and actually eat one without it leading to 7. And to be able to let go of guilt and shame that you feel every time you eat something unhealthy.You'd love nothing more than to have a stable weight that you feel good about and is easy to maintain.Now here's the great news: we can make all of that happen. And the fact that you know you don't want to diet puts you at a serious advantage. You're already 10 steps ahead of most women who are still holding onto the hope that this next round of keto will finally work.Ready to say goodbye to out of control eating, guilt, and shame every time you eat a cookie?And finally build healthy habits that feel easy?Join my free training (live or catch the replay), How to Feel in Control Around All Foods (without diets or willpower) where I'll teach you:The 3 biggest mistakes you're making that are making you feel out of control, increasing cravings, and driving all of that guilt and shame.

You’re an On-The-Go-Grazer
Image Source
As a grazer, you life life on the go. You're running from one work meeting to the next before you have to rush of to your kids soccer game. And piano lessons. And baseball practice. You inhale snacks or "meals" intermittently at your desk, in the car, or standing at the kitchen counter while you pack your kids' lunches. As a grazer, there are three things I know about you: You're a giver. You're really good at taking care of other people and making sure you meet their needs. Your kids. Your partner. Your boss. Your best friend. They know that they can count on you if they need something (which is a really good quality!) but this comes at the expense of taking care of yourself.This grazing behavior is not serving you well. It leads to low energy and often contributes to night time snacking/out of control eating. Sometimes grazing can actually feel like bingeing or emotional eating. Grazing all day can also slow your metabolism and contribute to digestive problems and sleep problems.You probably have completely lost touch with when you're hungry, and don't know until it's too late. You might even think, "I'm not a breakfast person," because you've trained your body to not ask for it.You also don't know what it's like to feel comfortably full, and aren't actually satisfied after meals (a perfect storm for nighttime cravings).Most of the grazers I work with also don't know when they're hungry until it's too late, As a business owner, mom of 2 little kids and CEO and COO of our household (my husband lovingly gave me these titles...don't worry he's the best and does a TON for our family, too), I know how hard it is to find time to go to the bathroom alone, let alone feed yourself nourishing meals and actually take care of yourself.The good news about being a grazer is that there are a few simple strategies that can make a BIG difference in how you eat and feel. You don't need complicated meal plans or meal prepping schedules. You just need to learn how to be prepared and a basic formula of what to eat and when to get you on track to feeling great.Are you ready to finally build healthy habits that feel easy?Join my free training (live or catch the replay), How to Feel in Control Around All Foods (without diets or willpower) where I'll teach you:The 3 biggest mistakes you're making that are making you feel out of control, increasing cravings, and driving all of that guilt and shame. The exact steps you need to take to cut cravings and endless snacking while easily nourishing your body (no complicated recipes or meal prepping schedule needed).

You're an Aspiring Intuitive Eater
Image Source
As an aspiring intuitive eater, you have a lot going for you. You know diets don't work. You gave them up a long time ago (or maybe you've never really dieted in the formal sense of the word).But you still feel guilty if you have dessert every day (or a few too many cookies) or for ordering the french fries with your burger instead of a salad. You know you need to eat carbs, but not sure how much is "ok," and you're still chasing that elusive balance that people talk about.You might even feel like you're eating too much (especially if you don't like the size of your pants), but you aren't really sure why you can't quite get it together.You've probably read a book (or three) about intuitive eating and follow a bunch of food freedom accounts on social media. And you really want to feel completely normal around food.Here's the really good news: You're on the right track and have a great start to building a healthy relationship to food and your body. You've gotten yourself to the 50-yard line.And while you might have been able to DIY it to get yourself that far, if you want to make it to the end zone, you need some support to get you there. I'm guessing you're here because want to eat healthy, feel better in your body, and feel in control of your food choices. You'd love to bake cookies with your kids and actually eat one without it leading to 7. And drop that overwhelming feeling of guilt when you order fries.You'd love nothing more than to have a stable weight that you feel good about and is easy to maintain.Now here's the great news: we can make all of that happen. Instead of spending the next 3, 5 or 10 years struggling to figure out how to drop the guilt and eat to feel your best, with the right support, you could expedite your journey and spend as little as 8 weeks to make it to the end zone.Ready to say goodbye to out of control eating, guilt, and shame every time you eat a cookie?And finally build healthy habits that feel easy?Join my free training (live or catch the replay), How to Feel in Control Around All Foods (without diets or willpower) where I'll teach you:The 3 biggest reasons that DIYing your way to intuitive eating isn't workingThe exact steps you need to take to stop spending so much time worrying about food so you can clear up precious brain space for other things.My go-to simple steps to help you have more energy, feel good in your body, and build healthy habits that last (aka you’ll still be doing these next year!).
