A few months ago I mentioned I was working on a series of posts that outlined my progression during weight loss. I wanted to really take a hard look at how I did it. How did I finally get control of my eating and find success.
The series might surprise you. It’s not a "here’s what I ate" and "here’s how I worked out" it’s more about how I changed my thinking and my habits. I’ve been really taking a hard look at myself and the difference between the old me and the new me. The funny thing, I only came up with three things. Three things that changed my whole approach to "dieting" and really made me the healthier person I am today.
I’ll be posting this series throughout the week. I hope to get some good conversations going and to change some peoples minds on how they look at themselves and approach dieting.
All steps now posted! See below…

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

I agree, you gotta improve your mind before you attempt to improve your body. I just wish I hadn’t learned that the hard way.

I think it took age for me to finally get to that point, where I got my head on straight. In my younger years, it was always about getting skinny to look a certain way so I could “get a boyfriend…and ultimately a husband”. I finally got to the age where I just wanted to feel better, and I didn’t care about finding a man any more, in other words, it’s been all about health and I’ve never been so successful as I have this time…and hopefully the LAST time, that I will ever need to lose weight. Thank God!
I think it’ll be a good way to show everyone an approach that actually worked. We can all make our own analyses about what we’re doing and whether we are willing to change or make work for us individually. It should be interesting as a conversation starter. I can’t wait!

I am excited to hear how you changed your brain!! I have tried, tried, tried again and again. I know what to do, I know how to do it, but my mind/thought/emotions get in my way. I am very eager to hear what you have to say. <3
P.S. I made the pumpkin/cake mix muffins this weekend….SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! I didn’t ice them and I didn’t miss it! :0)
I am definitely looking forward to this!
You caused me to start thinking of how I lost the weight….and after a year and a half has gone by, I find myself in this strange habit that I didn’t even realize I had. I have made a habit of my groceries I buy, a habit of working out, a habit of ordering low fat and calorie foods when we eat out, a habit of feeling guilty when I eat bad……and all in all… it works for me. I hopped on the scale the other day after walking by it for WEEKS…..(scared)…..and I was fine! Within a five pound range of my goal weight. It is a habit that I keep feeding with things like your website, WW meetings ( not often), surrounding myself with activities and friends who are supportive and most of all I have taken time for myself that I never used to. Yeh me!
I would actually like to see how you ate while losing, or old journals. It would be nice since you are maintaining right now.
Awesome! I look forward to it.

I agree with Rebekah. I keep “trying” to change. (Insert Yoda here saying, “There is no try. There is only do.”) =) I want to be thin and healthy, to feel comfortable in my skin, but have lost my focus. Can you just come visit and hold my hand while I get started?
Thanks for keeping it real Roni! Love, love, LOVE your websites and your insights.

I bet this is going to be good, I can’t wait!
just wanted to let you know I got a pop-up today! (first time) … I know you were ticked this was happening so wanted to keep you in the loop!
I am struggling with getting it right…getting to the point where I am more disciplined! Sometimes I am, others I am not. I am starting to see what the triggers are…frustration, work pressures, home life (when it’s not good)…what I haven’t figured out is how not to let that derail my good efforts. I’ve gotten to that place where I don’t beat myself up over it, I just need to avoid the derailing!!
I look forward to reading more about your journey, and how you re-trained your brain!
