About Us


As two overweight teenagers and one overweight audlt, Dr. Kim Hiatt, Trisha Sveistrup, and Marna Goldstein Thall found that dieting caused bingeing, overeating, deprivation and isolation. After tirelessly searching for just the "right diet" these three found a solution to their weight struggles by understanding how to eat, think and live the way the naturally thin do. In doing so, these three have maintained their weight loss and have helped thousands around the globe to do the same.

These experts know that if diets worked, then every overweight person could go on the same one diet to shed pounds, yet that is simply not the case. People who have dieted most of their lives have actually been found to weigh more than their non-dieting counterparts.

 

Kim Hiatt, Ph.D completed her Ph.D in the area of childhood and adolescent obesity and earned her masters degree in psychology.  She is now dedicated to helping individuals transform their bodies and body-esteem through cutting-edge philosophy and techniques.  As a respected expert in the field, Kim Hiatt PhD presents at national conferences, schools, and is featured in the documentary Facing the Fat.

Kim’s Story

As a child, my parents reassured me that my baby fat was cute, but I vividly remember being called “Miss Piggy” and the boy I liked wouldn’t be my boyfriend because he said I had a big butt. I felt sad, frustrated, and defeated.

Trisha's Story

I was involved in sports throughout high school, however, I gained over 40 pounds between
my university years and having children. I was in complete denial, since I was active for most of my life, I didn’t think that being overweight was an issue for me. But now, I see I was hiding myself under big, baggy clothes and I was trapped in an endless battle with my self-defeating self-talk.  Now I wear fitted clothes, I listen to my body, and feel great.

Marna’s story

I was so ashamed of my body that I refused to get my picture taken or look at myself in a mirror.  I went on diet after diet and thought that if I just had more discipline and willpower that I could finally lose the extra weight. It didn’t work.

Then I discovered how to be Thin from Within.  I lost over 30 pounds, going from a size 16 to a size 8 without dieting, without deprivation, and without weighing and measuring my food. I have successfully kept my weight off for over 14 years and even love having my picture taken. For the last 10 years, I have been helping others become Thin from Within. You are not alone and you can do it, too!
