Obesity robs us of identity and authenticity.

We eat to express and suppress emotion instead of to satisfy physical hunger.

Food is not joy, culture, entertainment, an activity, fun, family, friends. It is nutrition. Nourishment. Period.

When you habitually (whether it's consciously, unconsciously, subconsciously) eat for reasons other than hunger, like Michelle Petties did for 40 years, you end up in bondage to food enslaved in a body and life that does not serve your truest intention, serve your purpose or speak to the deepest desires of your heart.

After four decades of gaining and losing 700 plus pounds, Michelle finally discovered the “secret” to ending the battle between her mind, body and hunger.
