Stress Eating Isn’t a Myth
Posted on: October 3, 2020 by
Lori Boxer
When stress strikes, do you find yourself unexpectedly craving something delicious and unhealthy? Well, stress-eating isn’t just a myth.

Posted on: July 18, 2020 by
Lori Boxer
When an overweight person is complaining that they feel fat, what is an appropriate and helpful response (vs. just saying “no, you’re not!”)? Some people think that it’s always 100% wrong to ever admit anyone is fat and have a confused notion that to ever agree with anyone that they are overweight is  [

Negative Self-Talk
Posted on: June 8, 2019 by
Lori Boxer
Be honest: Would you be friends with someone who constantly told you how fat you looked? Probably not for very long. Would you tolerate a friend who constantly berates you, who never misses an opportunity to tell you you’re hopeless and weak and that you’ll never lose weight? I doubt it.  [

“My Eating is Out of Control”
Posted on: August 21, 2018 by
Lori Boxer
Boy, how many times have I heard that from a client?! The typical emotional over-eater feels helpless and frustrated because of his/her history of failure at weight management. They feel as if they can’t stop themselves from over-eating, despite knowing it’s self-destructive. They often feel like their right hand is stuffing food into  [

So often, especially on a Monday morning, or if I haven’t seen a client for longer than usual, upon entering my office and before they get on the scale, they will pronounce, “You’re going to be angry with me” or “Don’t be angry with me.” As you can surmise, and as I instantly know  [

Being overweight is not just an external (appearance) issue. Being overweight is an internal (health) issue.

“Eat everything in moderation.” We hear this advice a lot from diet/lifestyle gurus, fitness professionals and physicians.
