Do you like success stories?
I LOVE them! I love seeing them in magazines, on social media, in real life and especially from people that I coach!!!
Let me brag a little on a HUGE success one of my clients has had in 3 months of working with me. When we first started working together, she didn't give food much thought. She grabbed what she could (unfortunately she works by a Dairy Queen and a lot of fast food). She's a former runner—completing a few half marathons but currently was not running. Water??? What's that? Veggies were pretty much non-existent. Stress eating was a constant.
3 months later, she's down 19 lbs!!!!! Let's just call that 4 bags of sugar shall we? 4 BAGS OF SUGAR gone off her body! She is drinking enough water. She discovered she LOVES veggies, especially BAS(big ass salads), and is feeling pretty damn great in her own skin!
What changed? Well, she's following my advice/plan! Instead of stress eating, she's using a meditation app when she's stressed (insight timer) and or doing karaoke on YouTube! She loves to sing and found a way to do this and enjoy herself! She's actually thinking about food and we've made a daily game plan for her. She just told me yesterday that although she CANNOT believe it, she's not having any sugar cravings anymore!
If I could sing like her, I'd burst out in song right now for all of you reading this! She's following the plan we made, she's making progress, she's changing some bad habits into good ones, and feels GREAT!!!
It's NEVER too late to change! To do this, you've got to change some habits. Find ways to deal with your emotions besides eating. Like singing, going for a walk, calling a friend, getting some fuzz therapy, reading a book, having a good cry, screaming into a pillow, working out and the list goes on and on and on!!!
You CAN become a success story. You are the actor, director, and producer of your own movie!
