One of the amazing women in my group coaching container recently shared something about a feeling she has been able to identify since working with me, and I find it to be a really powerful testament to the way that I teach and coach my clients.
Here's what she said:
"Hi all! Just wanted to share a feeling I've identified recently. Since gaining all the weight (I gained 60lbs in the last couple of years), I have tried many times to lose it (or to stop gaining). Crash diets, whole lifestyle change on a Monday, etc... There's such anxiety that comes with crash dieting that is so exhausting, and I'm definitely not feeling it now. I feel like these changes we've been making slowly have given me what I'm calling a "peaceful commitment" - I'm calm, focused, and just taking it one day at a time trying to be better. I'm feeling good. 🙂
Thank you all and Anne especially!"
The idea of a "peaceful commitment" to your goals, to your health, to your sanity...that's what we are always striving for.
When you work with me, you aren't forced into some cookie cutter program that requires you to hit "X" benchmarks at a certain time or make massive changes overnight. You aren't shamed or made to feel unworthy if you fall short of your goals on any given day.
I believe wholeheartedly that you can ask any one of my clients if they feel this same "peaceful commitment" and they will agree that it's something we work hard to cultivate.
This is why I do what I do. It's not about fulfilling some arbitrary societal expectation to be skinny. It's about helping women, many for the first time in their lives, feel confident in their own skin, make choices that support a long and healthy life that feels good, and be empowered to take control of their health so that they KNOW they are capable of anything they set their mind to.
