I had tried EVERYTHING! I worked out (and quite consistently) and worked with a personal trainer and a nutritionist. I used apps / systems like WeightWatchers / MyFitnessPal, read a ton of books... nothing actually worked! I would usually lose some weight, but it invariably came back after a few months.
I was a single late 20-something living in NYC when I started MyBodyTutor, and I'd just never been thrilled with my weight. I'd always had some level of insecurity about not having a particularly thin figure. I often wished my clothes fit differently, and while I tried to tell myself that it was just so fun and free to thoughtlessly enjoy food, it really made me feel frustrated and out of control. I have always been highly driven and career-oriented, and it was really difficult for me to not be able to make what I wanted to happen for my body.
I was very ready for a change. I was conscious of the fact that MyBodyTutor was more expensive than some of the other tools / services I'd used in the past, but also felt like what had been missing in prior efforts was support in addressing some of the deeper embedded thoughts and beliefs that were holding me back from long-term, successful weight loss, which this purported to provide. I was so impressed with Adam right from the first conversation though, so was willing to give it a shot!
I really hoped that I'd develop lasting, successful strategies for attaining and maintaining a lower weight while feeling great and getting stronger in the process.
MyBodyTutor, and especially Adam, is just the absolute best. What I've loved most about working with Adam is that so much of his feedback, communication, and focus is around empowering you with the mindset and framing you need to make decisions that are in-line with where you're trying to go every single day.
I've found that so much of what he says has really stuck and resonated with me over the years, and, as I love to tell Adam frequently, it becomes about SO much more than just 'body tutoring.' These tools have been absolutely essential in helping me accomplish notable career goals, find an incredible husband, and navigate two pregnancies as well. I truly believe they have made me a better, more confident, happier person. I couldn't say 1% of that about any other service I've ever used.
I can honestly say I've never felt better in my entire life. I've FINALLY, for the first time in my entire life, gotten to (and been able to remain at!) a place where I actually have a healthy relationship with food. That I can handle situations I would have previously overindulged at and regretted with ease. That I am in tune with how my body feels and what it needs.
I've lost 20 pounds from my peak and am at the lowest weight I've been since I was probably in middle school. Adam supported me through both pregnancies as well, where I was grateful to have a manageable, healthy amount of weight gain and effortless weight loss. I'm fitter and stronger than I've ever been.
But on top of the physical impact, with MyBodyTutor, I was able to say no to a relationship that wasn't right for me, leave two jobs when I was ready for more growth and responsibility, and say yes to the right partner and incredibly exciting new opportunities. I really believe this has been a virtuous cycle, where getting in control of my headspace and relationship with food helped me better tackle challenges and embrace opportunities in the other areas of my life as well.
I can't recommend MyBodyTutor enough!! You'll never wish you'd waited longer, and there's NEVER a 'perfect' time - just get started!!
