About me
Hello my dear friend! I am so glad you are here. I hope you will find a lot of interesting and useful information here and you come back often.
You are at the right place if
You feel like you have too much stress in your life, and balancing work, household, children, love life and relationships is taking too much out of you.
You are always at the bottom of your to do list.
You want to lose a few kilos (pounds) that you gained due to emotional eating and overeating.
You want to stop eating your feelings and turning to food to cope with most of your emotions.
You want to master your overeating issues to feel free and have more time to concentrate on the joyful things in your life.
You want to allow your light to shine again.
You want to feel confident and unstoppable.
You haven´t reached your full potential because of the life long struggle and interdependence around food, eating and body image obsession.
You want to stop thinking about food all day. You want a life without thinking, living and breathing food and weight loss.
You long for a time when you can just be you, or at least find out who you are.
You want to be able to disconnect mood from food.
You want to stop questioning every bite you eat and beating yourself up for “slipping” off your plan.
You want to be able to tell when you are hungry, satisfied and full, instead of eating until you are almost sick every time you eat.
You want to stop putting so much brain energy into food choices. Instead you want to eat naturally when you are hungry and stop when you are full and not trying to manipulate you eating patterns so much.
You want to enjoy eating without feeling guilty and to know how not to overdo it or eat mindlessly in a fog.
You want to be able to pass by sweets unless you really want something special without feeling deprived. One chocolate wouldn’t lead to a dozen.
You want to be healthy, live a longer life and be a healthy example for your children.
You want to feel sexy, wear pretty clothes and not hide behind baggy shirts.
You want to have a single wardrobe in only one size.
You want to feel good about how you look in pictures.
You want to climb a flight of stairs without panting and without knee and joint pain.
You want to be more active with your family outdoors – riding a bike, swimming laps and hiking.
You want to have more confidence in yourself to go after some of your career dreams.
You want to have more energy and sleep better.
It´s so ironic because you are so confident in other areas of your life but just can’t translate it to how and what to eat.
You scared to lose weight because you have been struggling with your weight all your life and you don´t know who you are without being heavy and overweight. You are scared that you won’t like yourself even if you lose the weight.
You don´t know what to do with all the emotions without food to help you.
You are scared you would fail again. You are afraid that even if you lost weight again, you would be in a panicked state of regaining again which is often the very thing that feeds your emotional eating.

You want quick, healthy recipes and meal planning tips that support you in your busy lifestyle.
Who am I?
The first goal of this blog was to dive into self-improvement topics and share what I learned along the way. There are many more posts about this than about food-related stuff.
That´s why I also choose a Health Coaching course that wasn´t only about food but also about psychology and spirituality.
I have an analytical mind, I have a PhD in Chemistry, but have always been interested in health and in 2009 when I had a gap year due to moving from the UK to Switzerland, I completed a Nutrition and Diet Advisor course and wanted to work using that. Then, I went back to my old job. I didn´t know about online coaching back than.
My reaserch job went really well. Our group’s work was in the media multiple times, we were also chosen as one of the 100 Leading Global Thinkers of 2014 by Foreign Policy (American political journal). We were invited to Washington to the most amazing event I’ve ever been to. John Kelly gave a speech, I was sitting between FP’s Editor and the Swiss Ambassador.
It looked like I had the perfect life but I felt like there was a lot of pressure on me and having two children and working part time I just didn´t have enough time and energy to keep up with this high level and my boss is extremely demanding too (a lot of people quit because of him or he fired them). I started to feel like sh*t, had panic attacks, constantly stressed to the max., shouting with my children, feeling like I´m a failure at work, as a mum, as a partner, as a friend. Started to have all kinds of panicking thoughts out of nowhere, heart palpitations, and twitching eyelids.
That was the time when I decided this can´t go like this anymore. First I just started to learn about stress-reducing techniques and fell in love with meditation and self-hypnosis.
I have a PhD in chemistry and worked at universities in the UK for 5 years. I met the loveliest man there and we moved together to Switzerland in 2008 New Year’s Eve 🙂 and have been living here since. I worked at a research institute as a Scientist on very interesting projects for 7 years. In the meantime we had two little boys. We don’t have help from the grandparents as we live far from them from both sides (I’m Hungarian by the way),. Therefore I went back to work part time after the very short maternity leaves. I learned to be very efficient at time management to be able to have enough time for work, business travels, family, household chores and friends.
Self-improvement
I started to immerse myself in researching self-development to increase my confidence and I learned that our inner limiting believes hinder us to reach our full potential. Our inner belief system develops in our subconscious mind till the age of 7. As an adult we consciously may realize that this belief is not valid for us anymore, since we have grown up and changed, our subconscious mind does not realize this.
No matter what your purpose or goal is, if your inner belief system is not in alignment with it, you will never reach that goal. Your subconscious mind will always come up with a reason why you are not capable or why it is impossible for you. We need to change these limiting believes and this is possible. Hopefully I can teach you this in my blog too.
Health
The reconciliation of family, children and work requires a lot of energy. We moms often feel like we are drowning in the see of chores, and for healthy eating we have no time/energy at all. Because of our stressed lifestyle it is difficult to reach or keep our desired weight and fitness level. Often, even if we are basically have a healthy eating habit, due to fatigue and stress, we turn to high-calorie, quick energy providing “junk” food snacks.
If you’re in a similar shoes, I will help you by providing healthy, quick recipes and menu ideas. Since this topic is one of my favorites, I’ve obtained a Nutrition Advisor degree too.
Our limiting belief system can also affect our weight. This has psychological reasons, which I will also share with you on my blog.
I hope that this blog will provide nourishment for your soul as well as your body.
