When is enough, enough?   It wasn’t enough when I had to ask a stewardess for the seat belt extender.  It wasn’t enough when I couldn’t go through the turnstiles at Disney like everybody else.  It wasn’t enough when I was anemic and put on bed rest or when I was borderline diabetic.  I was sick [...]

Last week I began my quest for de-stressing and detoxing body and soul. I started with an amazing Wellness session and a promise to exercise 5 times per week. So far: so good.

I get asked all the time “how did you lose the weight”? Although I went with a commercial diet program, the truth is it doesn’t really matter what diet I used.  I am convinced that it is 100% mental.  I had been on every diet known to man, but this time I was really ready.  [...]
