Have you been weight watching since the womb?
Are you feeling defeated after a season of weight gain?
Are you carrying around an overwhelming sense of guilt or shame over another failed attempt at keeping the weight off?
Have you been successful on a diet only to have your lost pounds find their way back to you soon after you go off the diet?
I’m here to tell you to lay down the shame, friend – no matter where you’ve been in your health journey and where you’re at… You are fully capable and fully worthy of making LASTING, SUSTAINABLE change. And you can start doing it TO-DAY.
My name is Sam. Today, I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified specialist in obesity and weight management. But, at one point in my life, I was nearing 400lbs and completely miserable. As a last-ditch effort, I made one of the best decisions of my life and had gastric bypass surgery.
But I learned VERY quickly in the 2nd and 3rd years postop that the surgery was not magic and it was REAL easy for all those lost pounds to find their way back to me. I realized I needed to pull it together or I was going to be right back where I started. I got super interested in the science of nutrition and went back to school to become a dietitian so that I could help people still searching for the answer.
I’m going to be honest with you, friends… I’ve been maintaining ~200lbs weight loss for darn near 2 decades now and unfortunately, it doesn’t get any “easier” per say. But I can promise you it doesn’t need to be complicated.
I’ve learned invaluable lessons both as a dietitian and in my own personal weight loss/maintenance journey, and my mission is to share it all – with you!
I truly believe with every fiber of my being that God created me to walk this road so I can help others find their way through.
My mission is to give you the simple, realistic steps to lay the foundation of lifelong health and wellness so you can live your best life and enjoy the food you eat. Because I KNOW you do not want to start another diet trend that makes you hangry and is only going to bring you disappointment and frustration.
I know you want to get that extra weight off and finally fit back into that pair of pants hidden deep in the back of your closet since before Y2K, but I also know that deep down you just want to live free from the constant weight roller coaster and FEEL GOOD.
If you’re ready to stop feeling defeated and start feeling like your best self, you’re in the right place!
Now pull up a chair and let’s go!
FINALLY move the chains on your weight loss goals and start making progress with your Winning at Weight Loss Breakthrough Session! This is a 1hr, 1 on 1 coaching session where I will complete a lifestyle audit & give you the game plan you need to start WINNING.

13 | Can you love your body as is and still want to lose weight?
Welcome back!
Well, this one’s a really raw one for me.In this episode, I’m opening up about the thoughts I used to have about my body — the cruel things I said to myself on a daily basis — and how years of shame never led to change. I used to believe that if I could just hate myself enough, I’d finally be motivated to do something about it. But that never worked.
Today, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about finding the middle ground between beating ourselves up and pretending everything’s fine. Because the truth is, there’s a big difference between self-love and toxic positivity — and both extremes can hold us back.
So, can you love your body and still want to lose weight or change it?Yes. Absolutely yes. You can give yourself grace and still expect more from yourself.
🧭 What I Talk About in This Episode
Why hating yourself never leads to lasting change (and what actually does)
How body shame fuels anxiety, isolation, and emotional eating
Why toxic body positivity can sometimes turn into denial
How to hold both compassion and accountability at the same time
Practical steps to live in that “middle space” — with grace and growth
You can love your body and still want to change it.You can have grace for yourself and still hold yourself accountable.You can be proud of how far you’ve come and still want to keep growing.
That’s the balance where peace and progress meet — and that’s where real, lasting change happens.
You are worthy. You are capable. You can do hard things.
