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...

You have to add LIFE into your life!

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...

Why do you need to create mental, emotional and physical relaxation?

Today is Stress Awareness Day.

So let’s talk a little about what stress really is and why it's so important to find time daily to rest & relax.

There’s situational/acute stress which occurs when you think, “I have to solve this problem or something bad is going to happen.”

Situational/acute stress can cause short-term mental, emotional, physical and behavioural symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, irritability, anger, and changes in sex drive, sleep problems, inability to focus and be productive, nausea, feeling overwhelmed, and an inability to relax and indigestion. It also leads to emotional and over eating and the use of drugs and alcohol to soothe raw emotional states. 

Then there is chronic stress - Chronic stress can impair brain function and reduce the size of your brain, it can cause serious mental, emotional and physical health problems – the big 3 (heart attack, stroke and cancer) are all linked to chron...

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...

Have you ever felt stuck?

I have. It's such a powerless position to be in.

But no one is ever truly stuck, there is always something you can do to get yourself moving.

Step 1. Establish the direction you want to head in
Step 2. Get some paper and a pen
Step 3. Brainstorm all the wild and wacky ways that you can think of to get you from where you are to where you want to go
Step 4. Choose your first step
Step 5. Take action

It sounds so trite doesn't it? You've read those steps many times before I'm sure.

The thing is, when we are down, when we feel like we're stuck in quicksand, it's the quicksand of our mind that we're stuck in.

The simple act of writing stuff out will help you move through that quagmire and get yourself going.

You will have to do it again and again and again until you start to feel like the person who got dumped by the big wave as they finally swim to the top and break through the surface. Then you'll start to get some traction.

Keep going. Don't allow yourself to get bogged dow...

Master transition and focus on what you really want to do and achieve.

Are you creating success in your career but bankrupting your health to get there?

How many people strive for success in their careers and ambitions but at the cost of their health?

Burning the candle at both ends and in the middle, living under constant pressures and impossible deadlines and everything else that goes with it, all while looking after the family and often times, studying for their next degree or PhD as well!

Is it worth it though?

Do you suffer from:
◾ Indigestion, heartburn, reflux
◾ Bowel problems
◾ Insomnia
◾ Headaches, migraines
◾ Muscle tension and mystery body pains
◾ Skin rashes
◾ Brain fog and fatigue
◾ Joint pain
◾ Low mood and mood swings
◾ Weight problems

Stress is one of the leading causes of major health problems.

The solution is to reduce stress, but how do you do that when you have all those plates spinning? It feels impossible to step away from it all without it all collapsing and causing more stress.

🎈Imagine being able to relax amongst the chaos, living your life, unhur...
