Are you committed
to being a little or excessively overweight? Committed
to being a bit tubbier than you would like? Think
about that. Anything we do
habitually has some underlying commitment to it, right?
Where does that commitment come from? Why not be committed to your
well-being?
I often work with
people who regard themselves as being "overweight"; sometimes it
is several stone, but mostly just a few pounds. Clients often include
weight loss as one of the goals that we can work on together as a part of
a supported wellbeing program.
I am a tall skinny life coach who looks
after his body!
What can a skinny coach tell anyone who is battling the pounds? Basically,
it’s futile to explore any type of strategies for losing weight if you
have mental and/or emotional reasons/commitments why you need to be fat.
Our coaching work together seeks to unearth and address these issues. The perspective I share comes from helping you understand your
power, what matters to you, that you always have a choice, and that
wellbeing is your birthright. Choosing to make choices towards
maintaining our optimum health is fundamental to living a great life.
Adopting the behaviours of a healthy person is only a choice away; and yet
we all have unconscious blocks holding us back, things we can't sense or
feel that don't seem part of us but are there all the same. Life coaching can support you to discern those
blocks and right-actions, eliminate self-sabotage, and
help you put good practice into effect.
Frankly, even the simplest and most
effortless approach to weight loss will fail if you have an emotional
reason to eat and put on weight.
Over the past five
years, when coaching hundreds of people it has become clear that lifestyle
issues with being overweight are not only about food, there are a lot of
social and emotional issues that contribute to weight gain or the
inability to lose the weight. When we are unhappy we eat! When
working with a client I might say "Lets
not talk about how many times you’ve tried to diet and failed or what
you’re eating right now, or what you’re cravings are or what type of
exercise you’re doing. Let's unearth your emotional need to be
fat. Let's get you to see that as long as you have that need, no
program is going to work for you. Let’s discover and understand why you
have this need to be fat, and then see what you can do to eliminate that
need."
Headlines
that spout "Department of Health figures show that obesity already
cost £4.2bn last year, and the cost is rising" are un-motivating
hubris when you really get stuck into an honest dialogue with a client;
really helping them understand their relationship to their world, and to
themselves. It does not take
long to reveal the real reason why folks reach for one more choccy
digestive, mucho-grande latte, or one more glass of vino.
In the early stages
of developing a powerful relationship we ascertain what really matters to
you. This understanding then serves as an honest backdrop which we
then use to make your lifestyle-changes. In most cases small changes are
all that are necessary; and for folks with larger amounts of weight to
drop, we do the forensic work to understand why you are overweight and
then set an intention, commit and follow-through with a comprehensive program
of actions to achieve your weight loss and overall well-being.
Frequently clients are aware that their waste line is changing and that
they do not wish it to get out of control.
In other cases I have been a bedrock of support working alongside a
quality weight loss regimen towards a major (several
stone) reinvention. When clients have committed to a major weight loss
effort, the results can only be described as revolutionary, in terms of
how other people perceive them and most importantly how they see
themselves.
As a Life Coach I help already successful people
navigate the challenges, changes and dreams that arise through adult life.
I relish change as the most powerful tool we have to get what we want out of
life. I will support you through the changes you want to make to achieve
the level of weight and wellbeing you desire.
Take up the challenge of designing a
healthy future. Using a safe and supportive foundation of trust, freedom of
expression and commitment, I always work to help you explore your inner being,
to regain balance in your personal and working life and to align with your true
values and fullest potential. Using a stimulating London-based face-to-face or
telephone coaching program customised to fit your current personal development needs, my lifecoaching focuses on your inner guidance, purpose, skills, beliefs, techniques
and processes necessary to take you into a great ideal-weight future.
I partner with intelligent, successful
people who want to excel at their passion, gifts and unique talents in a way
that brings them success, happiness and balance. Otherwise, do what you always did and you will get what you always got!
