Develop a Healthy Obsession with Food

Before working with Wendy, I was obsessive. I obsessed about everything. My body, my exercise routine, calorie counting, and my weight. It controlled every decision that I would make every single day. Now, I feel I have struck the perfect balance of mindfulness. I can actually enjoy things I love to do, like cooking, and exercise without feeling like I'm being controlled by them.

I was able to realize the root of my habits, what habits were working, and what I needed to change to reach my goals. The ideas of types of hunger, levels of fullness, and gentle nutrition were eye opening and changed how I plan and consume my meals. The idea of 'gentle nutrition’ has been a key concept I go back to when grocery shopping, planning meals to cook, and thinking of what to order at restaurants to keep things well rounded.

Signing up for her services is the best move I could have made. I told her my eating habits and the foods I liked and she gave me great ideas on how to put them all together. Wendy always made sure I was not hungry and not struggling through the process. She never judged me if my results were not evident on the scale. To date, I've lost over 50 lbs and feel great at 58 years old. I've tried fad diets in the past and nothing has worked the way the healthy eating habits that Wendy taught me have worked.

Working with Wendy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. My relationship with food was not a positive one, I had struggled throughout my life trying to find a solution for me and nothing seemed to work. Then I found Wendy!

I've struggled with diet and exercise habits since I was younger and before I started working with Wendy I often found myself going through cycles of restriction and then the complete opposite. I worried about planning meals and how others would view me and my habits based on food or exercise choices I made.

Wendy is FANTASTIC! She leads with empathy, kindness, and compassion. She has a growth mindset and leads by example in living her life through what she practices. We connected both on a physical and mental health level! I will continue to leverage Wendy - her intellect and emotional intelligence.

My stress about food is practically eliminated. Stress in life is another story. That said, this program has been a game changer for me and using food as a stress relief. That for the most part is no longer a thing.

The practice of mindful eating allowed me to decrease binging on junk I was craving because I would cut myself off from it completely. I feel lighter, drink more water, and have energy to pursue being active.
