Made on a Generous Plan is here!

come-visit-generousplanI’m thrilled to announce the launch of a new website for my diet recovery coaching business, Made on a Generous Plan.

If you have tried repeatedly to lose weight and keep it off, I want you to know that the problem is not you. You are not weak, you are not lacking in willpower, you are not lazy. It turns out that our bodies actively fight weight loss — and they fight it hard.

After more than 20 years of fighting my food and my body, I finally learned how to make peace but still be healthy. It changed my life so dramatically that I actually decided I needed to share this new approach with as many people as possible. Thus, this website, laden with resources ranging from an exhaustive list body positive podcasts to a body positive artists gallery, and soon-to-be brimming with coaching advice was born.

I’d love if you would visit Made on a Generous Plan and let me know what you think.

Dear Non-Fat People

I have been seething about the Nicole Arbour video for three days. I have never seen anything online so hateful and prejudiced.

It feels like Nicole is attacking me personally, and people like me. She is making assumptions that are completely wrong, and spewing hate based on her ignorance.

I’d like to clear up a few misconceptions about overweight people, because people who’ve never struggled with weight have positively zero idea what it’s like.

These people often assume:

  • People are overweight because they’re slovenly, stupid and weak.
  • Overweight people are not aware that their weight can lead to health issues.
  • Shame can stimulate people to change their habits.

None of these assumptions are the slightest bit true.
