Do you have a favourite photo that reminds you of everything you love in one single image?

This photo does it for me.

I took it while standing on a platform waiting for an early morning train on one of my adventures. I saw this reflection in the window of a train and it just captured everything I love - the ease of being on the road!

I love love looooove the moments when I am no where in particular, those moments between destinations, those moments on the train, on the bus, in the car or on a plane when I am free to change my mind and go anywhere. I don't care about delays or cancellations or detours, I just love being on the road!

I'm not a light traveler by any stroke of the imagination but I am happy knowing that I am self-sufficient and that I have everything I need in that suitcase and the backpack on my back.

Actually, this is a fun fact about me that you wouldn't know:

Hi there, I’m Katie Gordon and I am Dietless Living. 😀

And I was born to solve problems. 🥰

My most valuable skills do not involve my knowledge about human behaviours or my knowledge about food and exercise. 📜

My most important skill is my ability to radically transform the lives of the people I work with.

🤸‍♀️ My super power is to know the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are keeping you stuck and how to gently lead you to more helpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours in fun and entertaining ways.

🎈It’s my ability to break down every problem behaviour you have into an easy to understand system that gives you choices, freedom and control over what you do.

👀 If you’re looking for the trap door out of emotional eating, self soothing with alcohol and food and whatever else it is that is keeping you stuck in dieting hell ‘then I can certainly help you

There’s so many people online telling you what to eat and how to exercise, right? 😵

But if you’re a yo yo dieter like I was, then you know tha...

There are many many stressful things about being overweight isn’t there?

 
And for me, the most stressful part was trying to lose it.
 
Because it was always all about the  food; pre-planning and pre-preparing meals, restocking pantries and learning new recipes and changing the way I cooked because there was always a food group that I was no longer allowed to eat.
 
I really disliked the meal planning to be honest, because by the time any meal time came, I would be wanting/craving something entirely different – but, as I had gone to all that trouble of preparing it in advance and it was, after all, what I was supposed to be eating if I wanted to lose weight, I would sit down and eat my ‘good’ meal.
 
Then, because that meal wasn’t actually what I wanted to eat, because I   had a craving for something else, something entirely different, I would graze my way through the ‘allowable’ foods in the general vicinity looking for the “thing” that would satisfy the craving, that desire.
 
Eating ‘health...

So many women and men understand that knowing what not to eat, doesn't stop them from eating it. They know their problem isn’t what they eat, but why they eat it.
 
I struggled with this for a quarter of a century!  😬
 
I just wanted to know why I couldn’t make change stick!
 
How could I do all that research💻, constantly read 📚book after book and attend training after training📜, year after year🗓 and apply what I was learning but still find myself back where I started?🥺
 
Why did I relapse back into old behaviours where cravings would ultimately win the battle over and over again?😭

Everything I read and learned always talked about the ego and the unconscious mind. As far as I could see the ego, the unconscious mind were all separate to who we are – to who I am – because they seemed to be the one running the show – my show! 😲

How could I possibly change, how could I be different if I wasn’t the one running MY show? 😳

Every diet, every exercise program, every change program was ultimately pitting m...

Why restrictive diets are not helpful for sustainable weight loss...

Are the plans you're making or actually implementing, plans that are focused on losing weight?

Or are they plans that are focused on long term health and happiness?

We get so caught up in believing that just losing weight will take us to great health and consequently to great happiness.

But the truth is, a high majority of people who are just focused on losing weight, put it back on. Either not long after having lost enough weight that they feel a sense of relief, or when they next experience a change in the routine structures they've set in place to sustain their diet and exercise (holidays, crisis, changes in relationships, work, finances, health).

To create long term sustainable health habits, you really have to understand what's going on inside your unconscious operating system so you can navigate your way through the ups and downs of life without relapsing back into old habits.

Under stress, the brain doesn't invent new strategies for coping, it falls back into old ones.

If you're r...

What is good rest for you?

👉 Is it sitting on the couch watching TV

👉 Is it sleeping all day

👉 or is it going out and having fun?

Whatever your definition of a good rest, we have to give our body the rest it deserves.

Let it relax, let it breathe, rejuvenate and charge its batteries. What's your rest look like?

Happiness is a skill we all must master. 

6 Tips To Achieve Sustainable Weight Loss

The diet and weight loss industry makes billions of dollars every year from people who really need actual help to change their eating habits, patterns and behaviours and make some real sustainable lifestyle changes that support that.

Diet and weight loss pills and programs do not teach you the strategies and techniques on how to change your eating habits, patterns, and behaviours; and more importantly, they don't teach you how to manage your thoughts and emotions that are tied up to emotional eating, binge eating, and overeating.

So, how do you achieve sustainable weight loss?
Here are 6 tips to help you achieve sustainable weight loss;

1.     Set realistic goals
