Pin itWhen I asked friends who’d struggled with their weight what topics I should consider covering in this column, the subject that came up most often was definitely “emotional eating.” There’s a good reason for this – emotional eating, or eating for reasons other than hunger, is probably the biggest obstacle we face in weight [...]
Pin itFrom Christie O.: I was on the road last week for 12 hours so I didn’t get to check in until Monday and I almost fell down when I saw my name for the spotlight! OK, I was sitting so I didn’t fall down, but I did cry! So thanks Roo, for all your [...]

Pin it I’m about to get all Sci-Fi geek on you, but I promise if you stick with me, it’ll make sense. Ready? One of my favorite shows is Stargate. (Oh, don’t roll your eyes at me.) On Stargate, there is a race of people known as the Ancients. The Ancients are human but have [...]
