Hi everyone!
Thank you soo much for your responses to my last post. What a supportive group you are! I am so grateful, honestly…
Things have really changed in the past week. Certain things that were difficult, are being worked out. They are being taken care of. I am working through them. THAT feels good. It feels so good to actually be working through things, instead of pushing them to the side. I feel like there are a series of things ahead that I am going to have to walk through, and I’m okay with that. I can see now, that it is so effective to actually work through hard things in life that come up.
I haven’t been photographing my food lately, because food just seems so secondary in my life right now. I’m still eating healthy, recording my times, foods, and feelings. Yes, I added in emotions to my food/time diary. It helps to know your feelings at the time of eating as well. I got these ideas from the Study that I am doing in Geneen Roth’s book, Why Weight.
Such a good book! I am going to be working through this book with one of my Clients, and I am so looking forward to it! It’s so wonderful – it opens your eyes to your relationship with food.
Every morning I wake up an hour before Marco gets to my house at 6:45. I am such a person of routine. I get my coffee, make my bed, grab my fuzzy blanket, and cozy up on my couch. I pull out my Why Weight book, do a section, then grab whichever book I am currently in, read about a chapter of that, and then my devotional. When Marco gets here, we read more, but we read couples books/devo’s. My mornings are full of reading – I love it!
I have to do all of my reading in the morning, otherwise reading gets crowded out by all of the plans I make during the day.
Just a note on my Health Coaching, this is what I do, and I absolutely love it! I am not currently advertising that I’m accepting clients, but I have still had a few girls write me and have been willing to work with them. I really want to focus my attention to the first group that I am coaching. If you have questions about Health Coaching, or the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, please email me at gratitudeandfood@gmail.com. It is my job and pleasure to answer questions about either!
I hope you all have a wonderful day! Head on over to Amazon and buy this book! If you have questions, ask below!

Thank you so much for the book recommendation, I might try and have a look for it. I try to be healthy most of the time but there are occasional days when I eat so much unhealthy foods as I just keep craving more of it, and I am really struggling with this at the moment. But I have to say that I always find your blog to be very inspirational to me
Dharshi, I am so thankful that you find my blog inspirational. This book helps with exactly what you are describing. It’s such a typical thing that happens when trying hard to be healthy
You are so awesome Paige! You inspire many, including me!
I love your morning reading routine!
P.s totally ordered that book from amazon!! Very excited to start it.
Rose, thank you! I feel so happy reading your comment
I’m excited for you to start the book! It’s such a good one! I do a few pages each morning. I am OK with reading it slow so that it can encourage me for many days ahead 
I am going to check out this book for sure…do you have any recommendations for couples books that you and Marco find helpful?
Hi Anna. I do! Relationships are work, that is for sure! We use books to really work through things, and help us be the best we can be. I will actually do a post this morning with pictures of the books we use. That will be more helpful than me listing them all. Check the blog in about an hour.
