Weight Loss?
Over the years I have worked with many clients who have lost weight! Some were beyond a shadow of a doubt, ready to make a change and began taking action immediately. Each week was a new success! Today most of my clients who have lost weight are keeping it off! They have also come to love exercise, and live a healthy lifestyle!
When thinking about weight loss consider a few things: Am I ready to become an observer of my own behaviors around food? Am I willing to get the proper information about weight loss? Am I willing to lose weight in a healthy way? Am I looking for a quick fix? How will my environment have to change? How will my relationships change? How will I have to change? What supports will I need in my environment to help with the change? What new behaviors will I do to produce the weight loss I desire?
I have also worked with clients who were not ready to make a change in terms of weight loss. Even though weight loss was not a priority making a lifestyle change was!
I want to congratulate my clients that have made significant lifestyle changes! Sticking to consistent strength training, cardiovascular training and flexibility training program is a huge accomplishment! We live in a mostly sedentary culture and choosing to be Active is a big step! Mindful eating and choosing more servings of fruit, veggies, lean protein and whole grains are also major changes! They add to greater health by decreasing your risk for developing heart disease, cancer and diabetes! These self-care behaviors lead to greater happiness! We take care of the things we love!
