How Knowing Your "why" Can Help You Succeed
How to heal and have a successful weight loss
It's time to take control of your life and step out of the darkness and into the light. You can't heal if you hide whatever is eating at you and causing you to eat.
Many diet or weight loss programs tell you what to eat and how to exercise to lose weight, but still people have trouble losing the weight and keeping it off. On the contrary to popular belief it's not because people who are obese don't want to lose the weight or they have poor self control or they are lazy. The problem is they are never taught to find out "why" they overeat and I was one of those people. I'll spare you the long story of my weight loss journey you can check it out My Weight Loss Story .

Basically for some of us obesity is the solution, not the problem. We use it as a type of armor to protect ourselves, because "fat" is seen as unattractive in today's society, so people won't be attracted to us. They won't want to touch us or hurt us like they did in the past when we were thinner (attractive). Traumatic childhood events (usually sexual abuse) leads to at least 20%-40% of adult obesity, I'm a member of that 20-40%.(Psychology Today Blog ) I thought that I was well over that, because I had pushed it out of my mind, but the problem was I never had dealt with it, so I continued to hide from it by covering myself in fat.
One lady was quoted as saying, "Overweight is overlooked and that's the way I need to be". When I read that it made everything click for me, because when I lost 175 lbs and reached my goal weight I consciously loved the praise I was getting, but somewhere in the back of my mind there was this little worrier saying "you're to thin it's going to happen again" and I started to gain the weight back little by little. (I did tear a tendon in my hip later that helped with the weight gain). Now I know what the true problem is and it has caused me to be an addict, yes I said addict because that is what I am a Food Addict. But once I figured out my "why" I could deal with the problem and step out of the darkness of my past and into the light of a new day.
I got connected with a challenge group that supported me and a nutrition program that taught me how to eat, not "diet". And now as a coach I use my personal experience to help others find their "why" and get connected with a program that will help them reach their health and fitness goals for the healthy new life of abundance that God has promised each of us.
Haven't you had enough of being tired and run down all the time? Do you ever look in the mirror and not recognize the person you've become? Do you feel like your life is running you, instead of you running your life? That is exactly how I felt until I discovered why I was overeating and I made the choice to take control of my life.
If you're ready to start the healing process I'm ready to help!!! Starting 2/15 I will be hosting an online support and accountability weight loss group where we'll dig deep to find out "why" we over eat and "how" we can start healing. This group will be geared towards matching you up with a fitness program and nutrition guide to meet your needs and walk you through the process of changing your unhealthy habits, creating a more positive mindset, embracing your imperfections and kicking the word "diet" to the curb. We are not dieting, we are creating a healthy lifestyle.
When does the group start?
-Monday February 15th, 2016 with a week of plan and preparation and the workouts start the following Monday.
What Do I Need For This Group?
-Each participant is required to have me as their coach. You can create an account HERE
You are required to do a Beachbody fitness program, which I will help you to pick the one that best fits your needs.
You are required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the 6 weeks because as I am teaching you how to change your eating habits and give you the tools to make this a lifestyle change we want to have at least 1 meal each day that is quick and easy but isn't lacking in your nutritional quality. Shakeology does that! It is my saving grace because quite honestly there are days that I am so busy that I don't have time to make a balanced meal so this is my go to!!! Plus it really does taste awesome!
You are required to log into our online closed Facebook group daily where I am going to share tips, recipes, meal plans, tips to handle eating out, and emotional eating plus improving your body image.
My goal is to get you a program that you are excited about and that you start and complete it. I do not want it to be something that sits on your shelf and collects dust!
