One of the things that is really important to me is authenticity; and this means being really honest with you.

Being Healthy is up to You; no-one can do it for you.  This is some thing that you will do for yourself.  You are totally and fully in charge of the food that goes into your body; you are the person who takes yourself out for a walk.  When we were a babies, we were dependent on our parents and/or carers to do things for us.  As young children we started to take command of ourselves.  When we didn't want to eat, most likely we didn't.  I have a young nephew and when he has had enough to eat, he knows it and we all know it as well.  If we wanted to run around and jump we mostly did. Now as adults we are fully in charge of everything we do, or want to do.

If you truly want to change the way you eat and lose weight, change your body shape, create a Healthy lifestyle - it is absolutely up to You.  I some times have clients say "I have no choice" or "I don't have time".  We always have choice and we have exactly the same number of hours and minutes in our day as every one else. 

How do you feel about yourself?  When you look in the mirror do you say "Wow, you look great"? do you say"You look like some one that I want to spend time with"?

If not, why not?

I can hear some of you asking am I personally, able to do this?  Mostly, yes.  Occasionally there is a small voice some where in my head that says some thing that is not at all helpful to making me feel good about myself.  I instigate a conversation between my Healthy Self and this nasty small voice.  The Healthy Self always wins. I have developed ways to deal with these limiting thoughts, and I can teach you these same techniques.

It is important to take charge of your thinking.  When you feel  in command of how you live your life, you feel more confident and you can say to yourself "I am really glad you are my friend; I am thrilled that you are in my life"
