How to Make a Tiny Shift in Language to Create a Huge Shift in Perspective
Do you give yourself a hard time with 'if onlys'? If only I'd resisted the urge. If only I'd said yes to that invitation. If only I'd not binged. If only I hadn't gobbled that food down. If only I hadn't eaten that. If only I had eaten that, and not missed the opportunity! If only...

I wrote about insights that I'd had from Martin Seligman's Authentic Happiness here, and how I think they relate to issues with food and eating.

I stretch because I want the benefits of stretching. I have to admit - often I don't enjoy them - sometimes they hurt or they're just really uncomfortable. As I write this, my legs are spread-eagled in a stretch that is causing a lot of discomfort! I'm writing this now because I noticed what I was...

Hi, I'm Vania.
I'm passionate about helping you break free from the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting, body shame, overeating, bingeing, and emotional eating.
For decades, I was at war with my body and food. It wasn't until I found an approach which didn't involve strict rules, diets and a focus on weight, that my relationship with food and my body transformed into one of ease and peace.

If you're seeking that kind of freedom — where food becomes simple and life feels full — I’d love to walk that journey with you.
