360 Life — Nourishment
⠀⠀
Several years ago, I wasn't in a great place.
⠀
I was grieving my father-in-law. My dad’s Alzheimer’s was worsening. I had two young children and constant exhaustion. A job that didn’t quite fit. I was lonely living in a new area and Covid lockdown made it worse. Too much wine at night to cope. And after nearly 30 years of yo-yo dieting…..I was overweight again.
⠀
I’d just come out of another slimming class where I hadn’t lost any weight, despite being “good” all week. I sat in my car and cried. Life felt overwhelming.
⠀
The consultant had asked me kindly, “Rebecca, what are you going to do differently next week?” I mumbled something about less wine, more movement.
⠀
But sitting there alone in my car, the question echoed in my head. And the truth hit me: I don’t actually know what I'm going to do. But I DO know that whatever it is, it has to be completely different to everything I’ve ever done before.
⠀
For decades I’d weighed daily and labelled food as good or bad. And without even realising, let the scales determine not only whether I’d had a “good week”, but decide my worth as a human being. I’d prioritised food and exercise as my only route to being ‘healthy’ – which if I’m honest, really meant trying to be a certain size.
⠀
Food matters. Of course it does. But most people don’t struggle because they lack knowledge or discipline. They struggle because of unmet needs, a life that’s out of balance somewhere, and for some, a sense of unworthiness.
⠀
So, when I work on nourishment with my clients, we do it differently.
⠀
We add before we take away.
We crowd out foods that don’t feel great by increasing ones that do.
We only include foods you genuinely like — not ones you think you “should” like.
We pay attention to hunger cues.
We remove the moral scorecard.
⠀
Sometimes that means simple strategies. Sometimes more creative ones. Sometimes it means unpicking childhood food rules that were never yours to keep.
⠀
It’s very individual. It’s tailored to you - your life experiences past and present. And that’s why it works.
⠀
And alongside nourishment from food (and hydration), in my 360 approach we look at your whole life — because when you nourish your whole life, your relationship with food can begin to settle and take up less emotional space.
⠀
If this resonates, feel free to message me. I’d love to chat about whether my coaching might be a good fit for you.
