I KEEP SABOTAGING MYSELF

It’s funny… In my head I always made dieting such a difficult thing. OMG, the horror of depriving myself, the restriction, how can I possibly endure such a thing? Every time I started a diet I would stop soon after thanking my lucky stars that I got out unscathed. Lori, my diet coach, taught me how my thought process was essentially getting in the way of my weight loss efforts. Day by day I got stronger in my resolve and my willpower was suddenly unwavering. I will be forever grateful for her help and for her patience with me as I am sure I tested her along the way. I guess I was my own worst enemy. Glad I was able to switch from defense to offense.

I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY LIFE

My weight just sort of creeped up on me 5-10 lbs at a time, and before I knew it, I was a whopping 350 pounds! My life became less enjoyable, and I became depressed and withdrawn. The more I gained, the more embarrassing it was to leave the house. I got so out of breath by just walking to the car, I decided it was just best to stay inside. The weight affected my work, my relationships and most of all me, and I could cry when I think of the situation I was in. My supportive, loving husband approached me about his concern about my weight. I then decided it was time for a change! My coach was beyond helpful to me. Thank God I found Lori, because I could never have done this on my own. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her help. I just lost my first 100 lbs! 100 more to go!!

I FEEL OUT OF CONTROL WITH FOOD

I lost 65 lbs with Lori, but not 1 pound of it came off until I dealt with the underlying cause of my overeating. I was an emotional eater – usually when I was sad or lonely the appetite would kick in. I remember once I bought a dozen donuts for my son’s soccer team, and on the drive over, I ate the entire box! Clearly I had a problem. Life coaching and diet coaching was really the missing link in all my previous dieting efforts. It allowed me to face my life head on. I was constantly trying to numb myself with food so I didn’t have to feel the pain. It was my escape, my drug. My food addiction is no longer an issue, and I have learned so much over the last few months. Thanks Lori for helping me be stronger, leaner, and wiser.

I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT DEPRIVATION

Food is love for me, and I am enamored with it. I think about it all of the time. I turned my love for food into a career. As a chef, I love cooking, but most of all eating. Coming up with new recipes, creating a medley of textures and flavors, is my passion. Not surprisingly, losing weight has never been easy for me. I only see diet plans as bland and restrictive, and as soon as I feel deprived, I give up on the diet. I have a long dieting history, and even if I am successful I find myself backtracking and regaining the weight again after losing. Lori taught me how I can still enjoy eating and cooking delicious food while losing the weight. I no longer feel that dieting = deprivation.

I DON’T LIKE HOW I LOOK ANYMORE

When I was in high school I was hot. I had the body I can now only dream about. 2 kids and 2 divorces later, I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror. I hated my body and therefore myself. Instead of turning heads, I was always the fat one in the room trying to figure out how to camouflage my bumps and bulges. My lowest moment was when I was too embarrassed by my weight to go to my high school reunion. That was the last straw! I wasn’t going to miss out on life’s moments anymore. After 3 months of coaching with Lori Bloomus, I have lost 30 lbs, and feel 10 years younger. I had a habit of being my own worst critic. Today, I am my own cheerleader, and I am winning this game. I am so grateful for the help I have been given. Now, I am a MILF, and I can’t wait for my next High school reunion!
