Lifestyle Coaching May Make All The Difference… 

My weight was a problem I wanted to solve and couldn’t.
Coaching helped me to understand this difficulty was normal and that I could meet this challenge.

Many people face massive disappointment and frustration attempting to lose weight and prevent regain. It seems an injustice that an intense desire to lose weight or manage a weight loss does not translate into success!

Lifestyle change requires skills, learned and practiced.

Weight management skills are difficult to master, especially if going it on your own. When being guided by a coach, who has a demonstrated track record, the likelihood of having a successful experience increases. The odds are simply more in your favor. Expert coaching makes a proven difference in many fields: athletics, playing the violin, in executive performance, just to name a few. A Coach, who is an expert in teaching the skills of long-term weight management, can be an invaluable resource.

Hard facts state that in today’s society, food has become abundant (everywhere!) and oversized. Little physical activity seems required. No matter your age or weight history, it is very easy to gain unwanted weight.  That 7 out of 10 Americans are overweight brings attention to how, as a society, we are out spinning out of control.  (JAMA Intern Med.2015:175:1412-1413)

Overweight seems to have become the norm.
