If you have been reading my posts for a while you might have realized that I believe in the power of words, for example, my previous discussion of “weight loss” versus “weight release”.

Today I would like to discuss the word “should”.

If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard someone say, “I really shouldn’t be eating this!” as they bit into a sugary treat….

When I first became a health coach I realized how uncomfortable I felt with the term “weight loss”. To me, the word “loss” feels like something difficult, sad, and unfortunate. Normally we don’t like to lose things!

My mentor, Mark Sisson, states in a fabulous Outdoor article, “Body composition is 80 percent the result of your diet." 

Years ago, when I desired radiant health and a beautiful body, I started a "future self" practice. 

I imagined and scripted my future radiant self and as I did so I opened my mind and each cell in my body to absorb and experience exactly what life as that future Katie would feel like.
