About Me — Linda Spangle
Author and weight-loss coach who loves to write, sing, act silly, drink wine, have deep conversations
After being a life coach for more than 25 years and writing five books about emotional eating and motivation, you’d think I would never have trouble managing my own weight. Wrong!
I still slip back into emotional eating patterns to cope with life sometimes. When I get stressed or really overwhelmed, I tend to go back to my “WIC” diet which contains a lot of Wine, Ice cream and Cookies.
Over the years, my life challenges have always informed my writing. In my first book, Life is Hard, Food is Easy, you’ll learn about my emotional eating struggles related to pregnancy losses and inability to have children.
In my later books, including 100 Days of Weight Loss, you’ll see the toll that breast cancer took on my life. The good news is that I am now a 13-year survivor and doing great.
In my articles on Medium, you’ll learn some of my secrets for staying positive when coping with ongoing life challenges. I speak my truth and don’t hide my own weaknesses. After many therapy sessions and learning how to overcome my fears and insecurities, I’m a much healthier and happier person than sometimes in the past.
