Did you know that 1 in 2 people are unaware how they subconsciously sabotage their weight loss success?
Did you also know that more than willpower, it's how you talk to yourself that has a bigger influence whether or not you can ditch the weight (and keep it off)?
When it comes to losing weight for good and never dieting again… it has more to do with your mindset and how you feel about yourself than just trying to “force yourself” to eat right.
If you feel like you're dieting, we need to change something. Because here's the deal, how you eat to lose weight is how you need to eat to maintain the weight that you've lost.
My interest in health and fitness began when I was a freshman in college. I experienced the “Freshman 15” within the first two months of arriving at school. I gained a lot of weight in, what seemed like, the blink of an eye! I ate to deal with the stress of being away from home. I ate because I was making new friends and my friends were spending hours in the dining hall and eating late at night. I ate to deal with the stress of final exams. And before I knew it, I was also eating because I figured the damage is done, so what’s a little more?
Within two months of starting school, the body I didn’t realize how much I appreciated was gone. Suddenly none of my clothes fit me. It was then I experienced those feelings of being uncomfortable in my own body, feeling miserable every time I went to my closet to get dressed, and being very unhappy about the way I looked and felt. I began to educate myself on nutrition and fitness and by the end of my freshman year I changed my diet and began to workout. My body completely transformed…I was hooked!
It wasn’t until 8 years after I graduated from college that I changed careers and decided to follow my passion for health and fitness. I first became a certified personal trainer. After successfully helping my clients transform their bodies through training and diet advice, I then went on to receive my Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University.
