When you think about your future self, 10 years out, what’s different about your body, your health, and how you look? Do you have a practice of visualizing and creating this version of your body? Most of us really like the chase of dreaming about a better version of ourselves more than actually doing the work to create it.

For some of you, unconscious eating rarely ever happens and is no big deal - like eating candy without paying attention to the taste or texture once in a great while. But for many clients, unconscious eating may be programmed from a tiny little habit to a daily occurrence of using food to numb out and not feel...
