Like most other people, I had tried dieting with little success. I had even taken college-level nutrition courses, so I knew quite a bit about nutrition, but I always felt like other things in life were more important, so I never really gave it the full emphasis it deserved. I think deep down that I didn't believe I could change the way I looked, and after a serious health complication and a subsequent pregnancy, I realized I was seriously overweight and needed to take losing the weight seriously. I realized that with everything else I had going on (starting a new business, dealing with a new baby), I wouldn't make time for losing the weight if I just did it by myself. When I found MyBodyTutor online, I signed up the same day. I was more interested in fixing the core issues of why I was overweight than just trying to look good. I didn't realize how much of my eating habits had become emotional and were really stress relief mechanisms. But that doesn't mean I didn't have my fears before starting. I just didn't believe I could look different. In the feeble attempts I had made in the past to lose some weight, I never saw more than 10 lbs of water weight progress. It wasn't until I had become seriously overweight that I realized I needed help. I was one of those people who would think that I don't have time to fix my health or that I had more important things to get done so didn't want to give it the time it deserved to figure out what I had been doing wrong. Now I'm very happily at my college weight. I can't believe how well the program worked, and, as a cherry on top, I'm starting to get into bodybuilding. My energy levels are so much better, I feel self-confident when closing big deals for my business, and overall, I've lost about 70 lbs from my heaviest weight, 50 lbs of which were directly from MyBodyTutor's support. It's been a very chaotic 2 years for me personally, so to have lost the weight in the first year and maintained it for another without calorie counting has been fantastic. What makes this program different is that they address the core problem, which is psychological. I think most other programs don't address the core issues, which are usually emotional eating. I'm a very unemotional person, and had NO CLUE that my problem was actually emotional eating for stress relief. For anyone thinking about joining, I'd suggest that if you are able to make small, consistent, sustainable changes in a way that gets you into a feedback loop of improvement, you will succeed. If you start your MyBodyTutor journey and commit to just making small improvements sustained over time, you will achieve whatever you set out to. Don't have a goal of I want to lose X by X. Just let yourself go through the process. It's about the long game. You will find that the excess weight is really just a symptom of problems lingering in other parts of your life. I didn't realize that my weight was really only a symptom of problems needing deeper healing. When that healing happened, the weight was gone. You will heal yourself with this program. You will lose a lot more than just the weight.
