Many people are unhappy because they are trapped in self-defeating behaviors with weight, love, career and parenting and are unable to change for the better no matter how much they desire to or try.

This blog tries to help you understand your behaviors, why it is hard to change and tries to provide you with ways to get past your behaviors and achieve positive change.  This blog addresses issues such as: guilt, resentment, self-destructive behaviors, control, authoritarian parents, accommodation, rebellion, mimicking, surviving your family, victim behavior, overeating behavior, romantic troubles, economic success, how to not become your mother or father, and most importantly how to stay positive and always strive towards positive change.

Much of the content on this blog is based on my book Self-Help for Smarties: Secret Success Codes for Weight Loss, Love, Career and Parenting, 2007

I encourage all readers of this blog to post questions.  I will do my best to get back to you in an expedient manner.
