Sweet Tooth or is it something bigger?

What’s a Sweet Tooth, Anyways?

A sweet tooth is pretty straightforward. You enjoy sugary treats, but they don’t run the show.

You might look forward to dessert or a special occasion treat, but if it’s not there, you’re fine. You can take it or leave it.

What About Sugar Addiction?

Sugar addiction, on the other hand, is a bit more complex.

It’s not just about liking sweets—it’s about feeling like you need them.

It’s about patterns and behaviors that go deeper than just enjoying a treat n…

NMW Attitude

The NMW mindset is your secret weapon. It’s the decision that, no matter what life throws at you—stress, exhaustion, heartbreak, or even just a bad day—you’re not going to take that first bite. Period.

Why? Because that first bite is the only one you control. And once you take it, all bets are off. A sliver turns into a slice, a slice into a slab, and before you know it, the whole damn cake is gone. Sound familiar?

With NMW, you’re not relying on willpower. You’re making a commitment to yourse…

Love Yourself Enough

Hey You,

Yes, YOU. The one reading this right now. The one who’s been fighting this battle with sugar, feeling like you’re stuck in a cycle you can’t escape. The one who’s tried everything—promises, plans, prayers—and still feels like sugar is calling the shots.

I see you. And I want you to know something: This is not your fault and we love and respect you for still being in this fight. 

But you need to know it’s not about willpower or discipline or being “strong enough.” Sugar rewires your b…

Not Another Diet

Every time one of my daughters has a birthday, my wife Kelly and I have a tradition of taking the morning off and going on a mini-adventure with the birthday girl. Last week it was Violet's turn as we celebrated her 3rd birthday.

We found ourselves in a little flea market-style consignment shop and i was shocked at what I discovered... and then I realized I wasn't shocked at all, I was simply angry and disappointed! 


There were diet books EVERYWHERE, at every single stall and booth!

An expectation is a resentment under construction

At first, it didn't quite make sense to me. But then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was drowning in pain, and it finally clicked that my expectations were at the root of all my resentments.

 

I had no idea, but these unmet expectations had been weighing me down, causing me frustration, pain and disappointment. 

From that point forward, I made a conscious effort to let go of unrealistic expectations. I could embrace acceptance and gratitude (even begrudgingly) for what life had to…

A Simple Pivot

Today, I want to remind you of the incredible power that lies within a simple pivot.

Life has a funny way of throwing unexpected challenges our way. Sometimes, it may feel like we're stuck in a rut or facing a complete dead-end. But here's the beautiful truth: we can always pivot.

A pivot is like a strategic shift in direction. It's about recognizing when something isn't working and having the courage to make a change. It doesn't have to be a grand, sweeping transformation... even a little t…
