There is a mental paradigm that keeps people on the diet rollercoaster, despite not getting permanent results.

If you have been dieting for years, or worse for decades - the problem is in your mind.

I often see people posting pictures of themselves going on green smoothies and green juice feasting to kick start their weight loss.

If you haven't tried it yourself, you've probably at least heard of green juicing and green smoothies.

I just couldn't understand how nothing had changed in my diet, and yet my body did not return to my pre-pregnancy weight.

So after 2 and half years of being annoyed at the extra weight, I did the only thing I knew how at the time, I did the 'mas…

If you are stiff, your muscles hurt and your joints ache, your body has a message for you.

You are toxic, acidic and dehydrated.

I starved myself to fit into my grad dress.

This first photo of me is after having starved myself down for grad.

The second photo is at some kind of community event soon after having gained back about 15lbs.

I still remember feeling especially not good about myself that day - ashamed to be seen …

I was chatting with a lady yesterday about young girls and body image and how she had heard that my daughters dance school was well known for being a place with zero tolerance of body shaming or pressuring dancers to be a certain size.

As the mother of a thirteen year old, I was really glad to hear that my daughter's dance school had this reputation. And yet that hasn't stopped her from feeling the internal and peer pressure of wanting to be thinner.
