This has taken me a while to post, mostly because of fear! Afraid to put this on social media as it was a confirmation of all the unkind words ever spoken to me; the pointing finger, the laugh in the corner, the weakness and failure. Fear of unkind people and old wounds that you think you bury away, but have a way of creeping up and filling you with self- doubt. About eight years ago I began looking into a new career, something that really fascinated me. Health coaching seemed to fit right in with my love of creating healthy meals, outdoor activities and supporting others on their journeys. I already had the support/ministry piece in place, but I wanted a way in which to do that on a practical level as well that involved a healthy lifestyle. The only thing standing in my way was me – and that I didn’t think I was worthy of doing something for others that I couldn’t successfully achieve on my own. BUT that all changed a few months ago! I found a company that I believe in and that proved their worth, in my eyes. After losing 7 pounds in the first week I was still a little skeptical (always waiting for the ball to drop), but each week I saw consistent progress. Before I knew it I was down 20 pounds, then 30, and I’m currently just short of 40 pounds……SAFELY! The way this company and its support community worked with me, never leaving me to figure it out on my own, drove me to make a pretty significant decision to become a health coach with them. This program may have started as another diet, but it was so much more! The curriculum that it teaches is a lifestyle program, addressing all the areas of health, not just weight loss and is medically and scientifically backed. I’m a work in progress, with more weight to lose, but my life is so very different! My thinking is clear. My body feels good. I’m exercising again. I am enjoying life. I’m smiling! There is progress! There is hope! Don’t let anyone tell you your body is stuck that way – take charge of your health one last time……….and live a healthier future!
