Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Melissa McCreery and I’m thrilled to have been asked to blog for WLS Lifestyles. I’m a Psychologist, Life Coach and writer and have spent many years in private practice helping people end obsessive relationships with food and weight, create balance in their lives, and find the time and motivation to pursue their passions. I’m a contributing writer to WLS Lifestyles magazine and am excited to be a part of this new expanded site.

My other home on the internet is http://www.enduringchange.com. In the non-virtual world, I work and play in beautiful Bellingham, Washington where, through the wonders of technology, I am able to coach and run groups and tele-seminars with clients from all over the world. I feel incredibly lucky. I love my work, and I also like to cook, to run, hang out with my family and read great books. I’ve just published a self-study program on overcoming emotional eating, and am now working on writing a related book.

The common thread that sews my professional life together is my passion for helping people move forward and create their best possible version of their life. Weight, emotional eating, obesity and the serial diet trap are places where lots of people get stuck and grow hopeless—so it’s become a place that I focus a lot of the work that I do. There are some terrific tools for moving BEYOND food and GETTING ON with your life. Some have to do with what you put in your mouth, but lots of them don’t. This blog will be a place to share ideas, tips, tools and helpful news. I hope the ideas here will help you make the changes you want, help you move towards your goals, and make it easier for you to create the life you want to live. I’ll do my best to keep you up to date with what I know about that’s useful.

Enough about me, I’d like to hear about you. Where are you feeling stuck? What do you want to know more about? I’d love to hear from you about where you hang out online. What are your favorite health, wellness, weight loss or fitness websites, message boards or blogs? Add a comment at the bottom of this post and let me know.

Best,

Melissa
