I was really unhappy with the way my body looked, but I was even more unhappy with how and why I gained the weight. Mindless and emotional eating had packed on 20 lbs in six months. I felt ashamed and powerless to stop it. I had tried Noom twice and periods of just logging my food in My Fitness Pal. I found Noom to be overwhelming. Every day, they share new insights and tips, but there was never any time or support for integrating or applying what you learned. Logging my food helped create awareness, but without any guidance as to what I should be eating, it felt tedious. I sought out MyBodyTutor because I wanted to lose weight, of course. But I also wanted to change the way I thought about food and eating. And I hoped that this program would include the personal support and accountability that everything else had been missing. With MyBodyTutor, I lost all the weight I'd gained, and then some, and I've kept it off for six months. I love the way I look in my clothes! I got rid of all my up-sized clothes and am back into the clothes I used to wear! I am now aware of my food choices and how they make me feel. I am aware of how much I'm moving and how much energy I'm generating and expending. I realize how holistic self-care is key to maintaining my weight. I started meditating and journaling regularly, which means I'm more aware of my emotions and choices. No more mindless and emotional eating. What's different about this program is that MyBodyTutor is actual coaching with an actual human, who tailors their feedback to you. It's not a bot or a course or just an app. My advice is to think of this as an investment in yourself. It's not a quick fix. You can crash diet or log your way to weight loss, but that probably won't be as sustainable and life-changing as going slow, digging deep, and focusing on your overall health and well-being.
