Hinweis der Redaktion
My name is Lily Hills and I’m a former food addict Like the two thirds of Americans that are dealing with excess weight, for 13 years I was unable to
stop myself from eating or stay on a diet even thought I wanted to , more than I wanted to win the lottery. It wasn’t until I learned how to manage the mindsets and stresses that were making me reach for food I wasn’t hungry and turn up the volume on the part of my mind that kept me focused and motivated to exercise and eating healthy, that I was able to lose 65 pounds and keep it off for over 20 years. When I mastered my mind I mastered my weight.
