Send us a text At 61 years old and 140 pounds lighter than I was two years ago, I've discovered something profound about weight loss that most "experts" won't tell you: it's not about dramatic overhauls or punishing yourself thin. After failing at over 100 different diets throughout my life, I finally found success through making small, smart choices consistently. When I stopped chasing the quick fix and focused on one better decision at a time, everything changed. I didn't cut out foods I l...

Send us a text Two years ago, I weighed 411 pounds, avoided mirrors, and convinced myself I wasn't "that big." Then came the wake-up call—a birthday photo with a guy in a pink gorilla suit that showed me a truth I could no longer deny. That moment changed everything. Today, I'm 140 pounds lighter, but what I've gained is far more significant than what I've lost. While the first year of weight loss was about transformation and momentum, the second year taught me the deeper lessons of sustaina...

Shut Up And Choose - STOP DIETING. START CHOOSING. ·

2025/04/02

Send us a text Why is "eat less, move more" such terrible weight loss advice? Because it completely misses what actually drives our eating behaviors and sets us up for failure from the start. The problem isn't that people don't understand how calories work—it's that they don't understand why they overeat in the first place. Food isn't just fuel; it's comfort during stress, celebration during joy, and often just a mindless habit. Until we address these psychological triggers, no amount of cal...
