A recent article in the NY Times reviewed a scientific article in the December issue of the  International Journal of Obesity that reinforced what many fitness and wellness professionals suspected: that nighttime binge eating may be more than habitual; it may be hormonal. The article suggested that obese people who binge eat – not all do, one mightRead More

Deflection Points: When Behavioral Eating Can Be Fatal!!!

How’s that for a headline? Grabs your attention, don’t it? But that’s how mass media, especially on line media, operates: it tries to grab eyeballs. Even researchers do so by titling their articles accordingly – either catchy, kitschy or catastrophically. But if you read them carefully, you will often see the big clue that it’sRead More

on wt loss, eating disorders and reality

How presumptuous is it for anyone to declare ‘reality’ in the context of weight loss and eating disorders (ED)? Well, let me answer by sharing my philosophy first, my reasoning second, and reality third. Philosophically, it seems to me that the basic laws of physics are currently immutable. That is, the old saw – caloriesRead More

I am very happy working with Stephanie, my trainer at STEPS Fitness. Whereas my previous training and exercise focused on getting my body stronger without hurting my injured shoulder, I now feel my weaker shoulder is getting stronger! Stephanie has linked me with an app so she can advise me on best ways to round out my fitness plan as I recount what I'm doing at the Y throughout the week. Best of all, I have NO PAIN in my shoulder right now! I feel better now than I have in years. This is what I wanted to achieve and it appears I am on the right path.
