MY LIFE Day 9
I have always loved writing and it comes naturally to me.
Many things do not, such as singing, drawing or math.
I thought I was going to be a journalist when I was a kid, I had a column in the local paper when I was 17, and was voted most likely to be a writer my Senior Year of High School. My actual handwriting is abysmal and I prefer to type or text if I can.
I preferred classes in college with paper finals versus a massive test at the end. After finishing my upcoming book, I now think of every communication in terms of word count. I have a mental word count monitor going on as I type this out (we are at 117).
When I was writing my book “Why Can’t I Stick To My Diet?” I fell back in love with the ritual of writing. I had stopped writing regularly sometime between completing my graduate school thesis and the first draft of my book. Sure, I wrote emails for work, journaled-sometimes and texted a ton but I had gotten out of the habit of creating stories, expressing my ideas creatively and figuring out the best way to express my ideas.
What comes naturally to you??

As a Holistic Health Coach, it is Erin’s big hairy audacious goal is to change the dialogue around how we look at weight loss. It is not a matter of being it Ketosis or Food Swaps but the feelings we have that we are avoiding by overeating. Why are so many of us not tackling the real issues we have? It is easier and safer to obsess over the latest diet fad. Whether it be with our job, or our Mom, boyfriend, politics… until we address how we manage our feelings in the world, we are not going to.
