Working with the right therapist helps! I teach clients/patients that Food noise isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a neuro-emotional loop. The brain is responding to what it knows - food comforts, food relieves. Learning to stop that process, provide safety and balance to the body (trusting self instead of food} will shift and quiet food noise.

Often food noise = emotional noise disguised as hunger.

Heal the internal voice - Shame makes food louder.

Self-compassion makes it quieter.

Instead of “Ugh, why can’t I stop thinking about food" or "What's wrong with me"
Say this instead
“Hey body, I know you're trying to protect me. I hear you. Let’s take care of us another way.”

You’re not weak. You’re wired. And wiring can change.

GLP meds work because they take care of the hunger (ghrelin). and fullness (leptin) hormones- But it’s not _doing the work_ that leads to long term health maintenance. 😉

Journal entry 2023 - from our day trip to Cataloochee Valley, NC
Today as I walked the Cataloochee Trail, I came across a small wooden bridge. I paused for a moment, taking in the sound of the stream below and the steady rhythm of my own footsteps. It reminded me of my journey in recovery.

The 12 Steps were my path forward—the bridge between who I was and who I’m becoming. They helped me see where change was needed, and when practiced, they made that change possible. The meetings, the fellowship, the service work—all became my railing, keeping me balanced as I learned to walk the path with faith and intention.

Recovery isn’t just about surviving—it’s about living fully. Feeling the sun, hearing the water, breathing deeply, and trusting that each step—no matter how small—matters. ag

It's Reset and Refocus Sunday! ✨ Every week is a new opportunity to reset our habits — to choose again.
✨ Pause. Breathe. And Ask : What do I need more of this week?
Maybe it’s structure. Maybe it’s rest. Maybe it’s balance.
Small consistent steps build the foundation for long-term change.
We don’t need to start over — just start again, with intention. ag
Here's a great illustration below!

"The Promises" of Alcoholics Anonymous can be found on pages 83-84 of the Big Book.
So many come thru the doors soaked in shame from behaviors and choices made during active addiction.
This promise introduces a new perspective, all of those experiences made this moment possible. Those experiences can be used to beat us up or a different perspective- to learn what did not work and practice something new.
There was a time shame sat at my soul, feeling unworthy of all that was good.
This promise helped in breaking free from the negativity and releasing the shame that kept me sick. I embrace all of my life! ag

I learned more about myself and sleep hygiene a few years ago after being diagnosed in menopause. The education was necessary for me to actually "practice" new behaviors. I pay attention to what my body needs instead of "powering thru". As an adult I have heard, "There's time to sleep when you're dead" - I choose not to own that belief today. My body resets with sleep and it is much happier!
