More Words From Past Attendees

"All the unhealthy eating. Can cost us our eyesight, can loose limbs!!"

"Being in that class and to hear Michelle say. It cost too much! Eating the sugar, salt etc. All the unhealthy eating. Can cost us our eyesight, can loose limbs!! It really caused me too think about this overeating in a different way!! I've always seen alot of these health challenges up close in my family.I told myself many years ago, that I didn't want any surgery. But, I always Believed in myself that I can do this! I did go ahead and sign up for the 52 week program. I need help with encouragement, because I Believe I can do this, but I haven't done it for for myself. I need to hear others speak about their journey, I need to tools to get out of my own Head over thinking how to accomplish this Huge task for myself!!."

"Some of the heaviest things I carried were invisible."

"I’m losing the weight of old thinking. The weight of self doubt. The weight of emotional eating. The weight of avoidance and autopilot living. The weight of guilt after slipping. The weight of starting over again and again without learning. The weight of calling discipline 'restriction' instead of self respect. Some of the heaviest things I carried were invisible. So while my body is getting lighter, my mind is getting clearer. My choices are getting stronger. My awareness is getting sharper. This isn’t just weight loss. It’s weight release physically and mentally."

"E.A.T. will be a useful tool going forward"

"Thank you for the needed information. E.A.T. will be a useful tool going forward. Learning that you are not depriving yourself when it comes to food that is not helpful to your wellbeing has also been empowering"

- Robin B.

"I have been so excited to see that I feel better"

"I will say this retreat has given me the opportunity to do some self reflection and to sit with my thoughts and develop a plan and techniques on how I can embrace food. Yes I am mindful about what I eat. I am now looking at eating meals and insuring that it is nutritious and good for my body. I have been so excited to see that I feel better. I think better and I sleep better when I prioritize good, nutritious food into my body."

"A totally new way of thinking"

"This is an outstanding virtual retreat! Michelle is a great teacher that gives practical steps to apply your daily life. A totally new way of thinking."

- Felicia B.

"I am so grateful for learning about this class"

"I am so grateful for learning about this class. Excellent, thank you so much.💓 It Helped me realize that a lot of times that I eat, I'm not really hungry, I might be thirsty. I'm reading the labels of food items more, and I'm eating more veggies that are filling me up, so I have less cravings for high-calorie foods. I will definitely think before I eat my food and also pick food that nourishes my body and leave junk food, processed food alone. I will definitely recommend to friends and family I have the book and will recommend the libraries in my area to get it on the shelf."
