Two weeks before Christmas this past year I decided to gift myself a nutrition coach. It’s been hard to share this with you because for 13 years I was the “success story,” you know, the one who blogged about losing 70 pounds, finding fitness and breaking the yo-yo dieting cycle of hell. Anyone remember this? […]

Every year I get more and more comfortable with my Scrooge-ness. That’s right, me. I’m the Scrooge in the family!

Actually, that video is what inspired this post. It’s not that I […]
