I'M 50 FT TALL, in my bright red sweater, beaming down at all of Times Square on the Nasdaq Jumbotron.

Finally a recognized dietitian on top of the world! Only I can't ignore what I am hiding.

I was trained to reduce calories to help women lose weight. Avoid fat, I was told.

The conflict grows and grows in my Chinese mind.

Mother minces pork by chopping the meat with the cleaver in swift heavy motion repeatedly until the consistency is done. Squatting on the ground the entire time. Steamed pork patty is delicious with hot steamed rice. I am 8 in Hong Kong.

I hide my heritage.

I want to publish in medical journals and speak at conferences. I achieve all that, and the Jumbotron.

Until I realize I have been hesitant to show up fully in life.

Hi! I am Cindy, a non-diet nutrition coach I help women in their 50's stop weight gain, yo-yo dieting and cravings so that you feel better in the morning and have the energy to do what you want in life.

Are you also yearning for freedom from hiding? I know what it's like. Join me.
