About the Author of Lighter & Free from the Inside Out

 

Discover skill power, not will power!

 

“Someone who has been there” wrote this playbook. I have kept off about 240 pounds for over 45 years (I weighed 400 pounds in the 8th eighth grade!), and I have been in recovery from alcohol and drugs for 30 years. My lifestyle behaviors were out-of-control and unhealthy.

 

How did I make lasting changes? I found that success at losing weight and keeping it off required learning a series of new skills.

 

I am also a Registered Dietetic Technician who had been in the field of Health Education for over 40 years and has taught non-dieting healthy living classes in Portland, Oregon for 26 years.

 

This playbook and the website share in a clear and simple way my journey of transforming the root causes of my overweight, and they suggest that each person can look into themselves and unravel their underlying patterns and sculpt new beginnings. People who have struggled with weight relate easily to my journey because it is their own story.

 

Every part of the playbook nurtures hope that we all can transform intense self-destruction to loving self-care.

 

 

 

 

Discover Bob’s overflowing wellspring of wellness based on his personal story of releasing about 240 pounds over 45 years ago and being drug-and-alcohol-free for over 30 years. Bob has helped thousands of people discover and use their own inner wisdom to find lasting solutions for their life challenges

 

What Bob’s clients say:

“Bob taught me the many aspects of one’s life that can contribute to being overweight:  stress, boredom, anger, anxiety, lack of fun in my life, self-image problems, and much more.  Managing my life leads me to be successful in managing my weight!”   Cheryl R.

 

“Bob changed my head, heart, and body in such a wonderful way.  He helped me overcome a fear of change and taught me to embrace it!”  Claire V.

I realized there won't be a quick fix to my weight problem. I use baby steps, and I know I will get there. Bob helped me figure out, one day at a time, how to get what I need for myself and what will work best for me.” Ron S.
