Are still you waiting until you reach your ideal weight until you start really living your life?
Do you spend hours daydreaming about what your life would be like if you were thin?
Have you tried every diet but your unable to stick to them because you always end up bingeing?
Do you avoid mirrors because you fee uncomfortable about your body?
Have you tried various forms of therapy to get to the root problem of your over eating only to find that no matter how “sorted” your become you still over eat?
Do you overeat, under eat or purge?
Can you relate to any of those statements? In today’s society we are constantly told by magazines, TV shows and diet books that the only way to be happy is to be thin. Magazines carry articles telling us that if we lose weight our lives will change and we’ll emerge from our fat shells as slim, sexy and successful women but that if we stay fat we’ll be miserable, no one will love us and we’ll be failures.
It’s not surprising then that one of our first responses to any problems in our lives is to diet. We let ourselves believe that this time this diet will work and we’ll finally be happy with ourselves. After all thin people are happy people aren’t they? But when we lose the weight we quickly realise our lives are still the same as they were before, it’s just that we’re now a bit thinner, so we turn back to the food for comfort, the weight goes back on and suddenly we’re back where we started only a few pounds heavier and a lot more desperate. So how do we get off the dieting roller coaster and start getting on with our lives?
It’s simple, stop worrying about what your putting into your mouth and start changing the thoughts your putting into your head. Your body is only a reflection of what’s going in in your mind and you can get the body you want by changing how you think about yourself. Life Coaching will teach you to stop focusing on what you should or shouldn’t be eating and start building a healthy relationship with food. It will enable you to stop hating your body and taking it for granted and start loving and nurturing it. And most importantly life coaching will shift your focus from your weight problem and onto what really matters, your life! It’s easy to dwell on our weight issues and ignore the rest of life’s problems, but life coaching will not only help you to lose the weight, it will help you improve every aspect of your life. How many people lose the weight only to put it on just as quickly? One of the reasons for this is that we believe that by losing weight we’ll be happy, but losing weight will only change the number on the scales, it will not stop you arguing with your partner, get you a better job, find love or make you more adventurous. You need to do these things yourself, and life coaching will help you do this and make sure you keep the weight off for ever!
