I've tried dieting on my own, Weight Watchers, working out constantly...I was just so disappointed in myself. I knew I could do better. I felt like in all other areas of my life I was strong and successful, but when it came to food, I always let myself down. What I was missing were the daily check-ins, the accountability, and the encouragement. When I found MyBodyTutor, I was hopeful but had some doubts, too. My fear was that this would not work and I'd be in the same position. I struggled with consistency over time. I hoped I would lose 10-15 lbs, but I ended up losing 23 lbs and was at a weight I could not ever remember being at. I lost about 9 lbs more than I expected to...some people told me I looked too thin...for over a year. When I felt I was backsliding over the holidays, I re-joined for 2 months just to get back to my good habits. I am back where I want to be and will continue to call on MyBodyTutor if I need more support. What I loved about the program was the daily check-in and the positive feedback. Even when I messed up or didn't stick to my plan, the tutors were supportive and encouraged me to keep going. I loved the saying - "you have the discomfort of skipping the cookie now or the discomfort of your jeans not fitting...but you're going to have some discomfort, so pick which one is more important." Being overweight is not good for us...physically, mentally, emotionally. If you're like me, it bleeds over into other areas of your life and makes us doubt ourselves and our self-worth. It's not rocket science to figure out what to do; it is challenging to do it consistently. MyBodyTutor sticks with you and gives you the support to keep going. Invest in yourself...commit to however long it takes and keep reaching out when you need the support. You are worth it!!!
