Am I Hungry?® Participant's Testimonials

Here are just a few of the hundreds of testimonials we've received from past participants (originals on file):

From Ellen: "I used to believe that my thin friends have a ‘different brain' than I have. I didn't understand how they could eat so much more than me and be so much thinner. You have taught me their secret! What a basic concept, yet it eluded me my entire adult life until I began your program."

From Marcia: "I am amazed that learning to be mindful about what and when I put something into my mouth, how easily I lost weight. I didn't lose this much weight during the 8 weeks I was on Atkins and I felt horrible the whole time I was depriving myself of carbs. For Thanksgiving I am going to Mexico on an all-inclusive family vacation and I have no fear that I will overeat. I know I can have dessert, wine, or whatever I want. I will have a great time eating wonderful food with my new eating skills!"

From Tammy: "I love this workshop! I have been working hard on changing my eating habits for the last two years yet I was still overeating. This workshop gave me the specific tools I needed to become an instinctive eater. Now I am eating with intention and attention most of the time. That is a HUGE change from where I was eight weeks ago."

From Jere: "This program was the missing link in my efforts to lose weight! I was stuck in a vicious cycle and powerless to get out of it. This workshop was an ‘Aha moment' for me. Now I instinctively know when to eat and when to stop eating. This has made a significant difference in how I move through my day and approach eating."

From Laurie: "One huge plus for me is that the program was so proactive and comprehensive - no stone unturned."

From Diana: "This has been a positive and life-changing experience. It is quality and pleasure, not avoidance and deprivation when it comes to food. Now I am an instinctive eater 90-95% of the time. It is a great gift to not ever have to diet again! Michelle, I will recommend your workshop to others; it is needed in so many lives."

A few more of the many comments we've received:

"I have struggled with the diet mentality for thirty years and now I am free. You are truly gifted!"

"This program certainly changed my life. I was at a very low point when I started and food was the only thing that helped. Now, I have 'reprogrammed' my thinking which has led to many positive changes in many areas of my life."

"Your knowledge, guidance and support have freed me from my fear of food."

"Your wonderful program has changed my life! Never before have I felt more positive about myself and in charge of my life."

"This program has inspired me to take control and 'ownership' of my eating and exercise, changing my perception and motivation to make life changes."

"You have changed the way I think about nutrition and have expanded my horizons when it comes to taking care of my body and doing things that make me feel better. Now I am learning to incorporate this new way of thinking into my daily life. I feel so in charge, it is wonderful! Thank you very much!"
