Eat When Hungry: An Overview of My Transform Shadows Framework
My Framework for Personal Change
This is an overview of my Transform Shadows Framework. The top part helps me tell my story about the mental actions that I use to be successful in losing weight and maintaining weight loss.
These mental actions may help you guide change within yourself. I use these for my self-talk in many ways. Try them and see if they work for you:
NAME Your Shadows
FACE Your Shadows
UNDERSTAND Your Shadows
FIGHT Your Shadows
REFRAME Your Shadows
TRANSCEND Your Shadows
I wish I transcended my shadows all the time, but my life does not work that way. When things are easy and effortless in my lifestyle, those moments of transcendence are glorious.

Eat When Hungry: My Journey Through a Complex Labyrinth
Three years ago, I started working in earnest on creating educational resources that felt like what I was experiencing in my personal transformation of losing half my weight. Transform Shadows is the result of that work, and it continues to evolve. Today marks another step.
My goal has been to create a bank of free educational resources. The 3:00 am resources. The resources that you seek when you look for a different way of living, a healthier way of living, a way of living that you know is best for you. A way of living built on truth, not gimmicks. I know how this works. I lived this life. For years.
Today, my bank of resources broadens with the launch of my first video interview. A very special guest, Dr. Doug Lisle, joins me for this signature series titled Eat When Hungry: My Epic Journey Through a Complex Labyrinth. Dr. Lisle is a well-known expert in the plant-based world, and his work has helped me in my own journey.
Flipping the script for an interview like this, Dr. Lisle actually interviews me about my journey to lose half my weight and transform my shadows.
The Weight of Weight: A Journey of Epic Proportions
Many times, people think my health, wellness, and weight loss journey has been a one-and-done action. That is far from the case because this is a complex journey.
While I have lost half my weight and kept it off for more than three years, the process of maintenance is an ongoing journey, full of mental and physical actions that look and feel similar to the ones I used when losing weight.
Of course, I am thrilled to have lost half my weight. When I eat right, I have emerged from physical and psychological heaviness, which is the weight of weight.
The weight of weight is one of the most important reasons I decided to lose weight. My physical health weighed heavily on my mind, not just on my body.
I knew I was not acting in my own best interests. I knew that there were too many contradictions between healthy foods and the foods I was eating.
The unhealthy choices were having profound ramifications on my mind and my body. I wanted freedom from the mental and physical traps of my weight.
