Welcome to my blog
Is Food More Delicious Than Your Life?
While it is natural to get pleasure from food, our lives should be so delicious that eating is not the most exciting thing that we do.
To Heal, We Must Trust Our Emotions
To heal, we must honor and trust our emotions. To dismiss our feelings is to set ourselves up for overeating.
Painful Emotions Aren’t the Cause of Overeating
If we are willing to sit with our painful emotions and let them be there, feel them and express them in a responsible and healing way, then we will have no issue with compulsive eating.
Fear, Food and Weight Gain
What many people don't realize is that the unresolved fears of food and weight gain can actually drive more compulsive eating, as well as restriction tendencies, and also yo-yo cycles.
Everyone Can Heal Overeating
The truth is that overeating is a learned behavior that comes from a childhood that featured a lack of love or respect, that then resulted in us seeking food to suppress our emotions and help us avoid the truth.
Binge Eating As Self-Aggression
Binge eating can be an act of aggression towards ourselves as a result of avoiding who we are truly angry at, and the truth of who harmed us in our childhood.
Overeating Indicates We Are Avoiding Truth
We often discuss how overeating is an indicator we are avoiding emotions, but it is also an indicator that we are avoiding truth.
Interviews on Healing Emotional Eating
Recently I was invited to a couple of podcasts and interviews on healing emotional eating. You can listen or watch them via these links.
Food Addiction and Parental Gaslighting
It is vitally important to learn what gaslighting is, and what it can look like in a relationship between parent and child. This can explain much of our food addiction.
Healing Food Addiction: Why Discipline Doesn’t Work
You can’t just force yourself to be different with food. Willpower doesn’t actually work long-term.
You might be able to discipline yourself to better eating for a short while, but it will never be permanent and it will always take a ton of energy to do.
Welcome to my New Website!
It has been a long time since I wrote here! However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been around.
If you follow my YouTube channel or follow me on social media, you’ll have seen I’ve been just as active as usual these last 2 years.
New Videos on Going and Being Vegan
And I’ve started another new series of videos! This playlist is on going and being vegan.
My 13-year Veganniversary Post: Macros, the Soy Debate & More
Strictly speaking, I didn’t move to a total, never-going-back vegan diet until about a year later, due to the fact that my food addiction was such that occasionally I would say yes to a free brownie that had milk in it. However, after August 2005 I never again had meat or fish, never bought eggs or dairy again, and knew in my heart my desire was to be all vegan.
Five New Videos On Cleansing: Intermittent Fasting, How To Juice Cleanse!
I’ve had a recent site revamp and a few of my blog posts were lost in the transition. However, they were mostly to announce new videos I’d made, which I’m doing again here. So if you are interested in what the benefits of intermittent fasting are, how to juice cleanse in cold weather or over the holidays, these videos are for you! See below.
New Videos: Healing Overeating
Hi Friends,
I’ve enjoyed making the first few videos in my series about healing food addiction, and they’re up!
Food addiction, compulsive eating, overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, mindless eating: whatever you want to call it and whatever severity of it we may engage, it’s a subject I’m really excited to share about. It consumed most of my thoughts and energy for most of my life and so I know what it can feel like to feel trapped in it. The good news is, no matter how long we’ve done it or how bad it’s been, we can all heal it, completely.
I hope you’ll find these videos helpful 🙂
New Videos: How To Juice Cleanse
Hi Friends,
I’ve begun a new youtube playlist called How To Juice Cleanse! Though many health coaches package their knowledge into a paid e-course, e-book, or keep it only for private clients, I’ve decided to share everything I know for free, publicly.
If you’d like individualized coaching for a Juice Cleanse or other purpose, however, I do offer that, which you can email me about at the contact tab. And if you’d like to donate towards my ability to keep creating these free videos rather than charging for my 12 years of study and practice, you’re welcome to at Paypal or Patreon. Thank you!
Enjoy!
Courtney
My Story on Juice Cleansing, Overeating, Veganism, Weight Loss: New Video
My first longer video is up! In this video I talk about my personal experience with juice cleansing, losing weight, going vegan, and healing overeating, all things I work with clients on and teach about now. This video can be viewed by clicking here or by viewing below.
My New Youtube Channel
I’ve finally begun my youtube channel as promised in my blog post a few months ago! On this channel eventually you’ll find videos pertaining to all the things I blog about: juice cleansing, vegan nutrition and healing food addiction, as well as expanding into more areas of exploration and discussion as well.
How Juice Cleansing Can Support Healing Overeating
Most people seek juice cleansing for the alleviation of physical health problems and weight loss, which it can help greatly with and is one of the healthiest physical methods for those ends. Today though, I’m excited to discuss how juice cleansing can support us in healing overeating and food addiction. I’ve personally done juice cleanses of many lengths, including my longest of 60-something days, and they have greatly assisted me in my journey of healing overeating and permanent, healthy weight loss.
Some Changes Around Here
I hope the new year finds you well! It’s a bit late for a happy new year greeting, but as this is the first time I’ve posted this year, better late than never, right? This blog will be a bit different than the blogs you’ve read from me before. I want to get personal and let you know of some changes as well as new avenues to share with you that will be coming soon.
