Yes, I lost 35 pounds last year. I actually started on June 1, 2015 and reached my goal in 6 months. I was upset with the way I looked. I didn’t want to be this person who felt dumpy in her clothes and looked like a middle-aged woman (even though I am!).
Why is Coach Amy talking about weight loss? Aren’t you a dating and relationship coach? What does weight loss have to do with dating secrets?
YES, AND there’s a very valuable lesson in my story that can have a huge impact on your dating life.
You see, I was thin all my life – in great shape. When I got married I was 120 pounds.
(Perhaps dating was easy for you when you were younger. You didn’t really have to work at it.)
But then I started fertility treatment and gained 40 pounds. I lost half of it, but when I got pregnant, I gained that and more right back.
I eventually lost 20 pounds again, but after a while, the weight crept up again. Not eating the right things, not making time to exercise.
(Perhaps you are sometimes focused on dating, and then your attention gets pulled away from the other things in life pulling at you.)
I almost gave up on losing weight. I was coming to accept me at my heavier weight.
I was okay with the status quo. Or was I really?
(Do you ever feel like a yo-yo dater? Maybe you’ve been dating for a long time, and it just doesn’t stick. Are you really okay with not having a companion to share your life with?)
Then I saw how one of my trusted holistic practitioners lost 50 lbs in less than a year’s time. How did she do this? We had been on the same yo-yo diet programs. None had worked for either of us for very long.
She told me to try it. What’s the worst thing that could happen? I’d try it, and it wouldn’t work.
So I decided to go for it. And guess what… you know the answer. It did work.
Why did this program work and the others did not? This time it was different.
I had the RIGHT PLAN. This was a plan with A PROVEN TRACK RECORD. I saw it work not only for my friend but for others. And there was a science behind this plan that made sense.
I had a SUPPORTIVE COACH. She was there with me every step of the way. She gave me strategies to follow that helped me over the tough patches like birthday parties and holidays. She cheered me on and kept me going.
I had ACCOUNTABILITY. Each week I went in and got weighed and measured. I showed up no matter what. I kept a food log and saw what worked and what didn’t. We adjusted our course as we went along.
I was encouraged to do PRE-PLANNING. I had to plan to get through the holidays, celebrations, and trips. I had my workable strategies to get me through those slippery slopes that would push me off track.
I developed a NEW MINDSET. I learned what I had to do to stay the course. I had a way to eat out regularly and still lose weight. I felt empowered in my new way of being.
I celebrated INCREMENTAL MILESTONES and SUCCESSES! I set a path to measure what success was and chunked it down into doable goals.
I TRUSTED THE PROCESS. I had patience with the process and vowed to stay the course because I believed it would work.
And it did!
This is the same way that I work most successfully with my clients.
