I am here to find a tribe of health conscious seekers as I get down to my goal body one meal at a time.

My goal is authenticity, not perfection.

I will be 54 this year and I have struggled with my weight my whole life trying every diet starting with calorie restricting in my teens. I finally took the plunge into the Intermittent Fasting (IF) lifestyle April of 2021 after being terrified that I would "starve myself" but instead found freedom and peace with food and the additional benefit of steady weight loss.

I "delay, but don't deny" myself and the world is delicious and guilt free after decades of struggle, self hatred, guilt and yo-yo dieting.

After several months of IF, my body has gifted me with the holy grail of Appetite Correction and I can stop in the middle of a bite, close my "window" and then not eat again for 14-23 hours without missing a beat.

With all the extra time I have saved from not thinking about food, feeling guilty about food, not tracking food, not buying magic foods or cooking three squares a day, I can indulge more in my many interests: Satyananda Yoga (especially sun salutations!) hiking, rock collecting, meditation, reading and listening to books, writing, travel, vermicomposting, gardening, collaging, cooking, good coffee, taking care of myself, and of course, learning more about the IF lifestyle!!
