Is this you…

  • You’ve tried countless diets but you’re still not at your target weight
  • You find it hard to stick to diets and always self-sabotage sooner or later.
  • Any weight you’ve lost, you’ve regained
  • You feel like you lack willpower
  • Or maybe you are just lazy? 
  • Whatever the reason, it feels like you just can’t do it no matter how hard you try
  • You don’t understand what you’re doing wrong and feel like a failure
  • Your motivation is low – what’s the point in even trying?
  • Frankly, you’re fed up with dieting
  • However,  you’re unhappy with your body and really need to lose weight
  • Maybe you’ve tried body positivity – to love your body and embrace your curves – but it’s just not working. You just cannot love your body as it is. 
  • And you constantly think about food and your weight, every day, every meal, sometimes all day
  • And eventhough you don’t want to diet, you feel guilty every time you eat anything unhealthy and promise to be better tomorrow 
  • So you feel stuck and miserable. Your self-esteem is low. 
  • Why is it so difficult to achieve the one thing you want more than anything, the one thing that would make you happy? It makes no sense! 
diet mindset vs feel good mindset

If the above statements resonate with you, you’re not alone. You’re like all my clients and, in fact, like I was until I decided to get to the bottom of this issue and do whatever it takes to change. 

The good news is that I found a  way out and it’s actually fairly simple! The way out is through your mind! Every action starts as a thought so if we want to change what we do, it’s best to start with what we think about what we do. Emotions go hand in hand with our thoughts. Did you know that we take 90% of our actions based on our emotions? So changing the way we think, and hence the actions we take, starts with the way we feel this means improving our relationship with food and tackling emotional eating. 

So instead of trying to force yourself to change your behaviour – which what you’ve tried so far with diets and it clearly doesn’t work – you need to start with your head by letting go of diet mentality and developing a Feel Good Mindset.

What is Feel Good Weight Loss Coaching?

Feel Good Weight Loss coaching is a new approach to weight loss for women who are fed up with dieting but still want to lose weight.

Coaching is different with every client and hugely depends on your goals where you are on your journey currently. However, usually, this is what I work on with most of my clients:

 

          • Mindset change – letting of diet mentality and developing a Feel Good Mindset
          • Improving your relationship with food – mainly focused on emotional eating, seeing food as a weight management tool
          • Learning to understand your behaviour – through self-observation & self-inquiry; this is a very powerful way of letting go of old habits and creating lasting changes
          • Learning to connect with yourself and your body – to overcome emotional eating & learn to fuel your body intuitively.
          • Mindful eating – to connect with yourself, your body and your hunger, as well as food; you will enjoy food more when you practice mindful eating!
          • Practical tools to help you mindfully deal with issues such as cravings, emotional eating, self-sabotage, lack of focus or motiviation, consistency and more
          • Nutrition education – of course, what you eat is important for weight loss and health. Often, the problem is that what people think is healthy is actually really unhealthy and leads to weight gain (such as low fat products). So we make sure that you understand basic nutrition – it’s very simple, eat  more whole foods, avoid sugar filled processed foods.
          • Food diary monitoring & feedback – this is optional and totally depends on your goals and how you feel about keeping a food diary – if it makes you feel like you’re on a strict diet, then I’d advice against it; when your mindset has changed a little, a food diary can be a very helpful and empowering tool.
          • Basic fitness plan – although weight loss starts with food – you simply cannot out-exercise a bad diet – exercise does help and it is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, so for those who want it, I can also give a fitness plan.

Each client and each journey is different.

My role as your coach is not to tell you what to do but to guide you so that you can figure it out yourself.

The main problem is that we have lost touch with ourselves and our bodies so much so that we do not know what and how much to feed them anymore, even though our bodies know this better than any expert.

So my goal as your coach is to empower you, to guide you back to yourself and to give you the confidence to trust yourself and your body again. This is done simply by eating and moving in a way that feels good. This way, you’ll never over eat again, you will lose weight and, best of all,  you will never have to follow another diet again!

What results can you expect from coaching?

While results vary depending on the person, your starting point, how willing you are to change (change begins with willingness) and how much effort you put into it,  Feel Good coaching will help you feel better instantly (otherwise, I wouldn’t call it feel good coaching!).

It is my intention that everyone leaves a coaching session feeling better than they came in!

One coaching session can help you get through a block that’s holding you back at the moment, 3-4 sessions can help you make a good start on your Feel Good Mindset journey, but for the best results, I recommend a minimum of 3 months’ commitment (this could be weekly or fortnightly sessions).

As an example, here’s what a recent coaching client achieved in 6 months:

 

  • Went from eating takeaways at least 4 times a week to just 2 per month – now she enjoys them and feels no guilt
  • From daily emotional binge eating to no bingeing and when she feels the urge, she knows how to handle it with mindfulness techniques
  • From feeling like a failure for bingeing and eating something ‘wrong’ to embracing these events as learning and growth experiences using feel good mindset techniques that eventually helped her overcome bingeing as well as let go of the guilt she used to feel for eating anything ‘wrong’
  • From avoiding exercise and self-sabotaging any attempts to get fit to walking daily and doing 2-3 fitness classes/week and enjoying it! (It took 2 months to develop  a daily walking routine and 5 months to get to a place where she felt like she wanted to do a fitness class)
  • From self-loathing to self-compassion and acceptance and finally feeling good enough – a long time before she has reached her goals.
  • The weight loss she’s achieved now feels like a bonus and it happens so easily, without her having to focus on it (it took 2 months before she started losing weight)

Diet Mindset vs Feel Good Mindset

Diet mentality is the product of the diet culture we live in so we all have it – it’s simply impossible to avoid. The only way out is to become aware of it and then make a conscious effort to change it. These are the key characteristics of a diet mindset and a feel good mindset – see which ones can you relate to.

From this… (a diet mindset)

  1. Your main goal is to look as good as you can. This desire guides all your choices.
  2. You focus on how your body looks – food and exercise are weight management tools, it doesn’t always feel good but it’s worth it when you see the results.
  3. Everything is about how your body looks, mental and emotional wellbeing are often sacrificed. A common belief is that you are miserable because of your body and losing weight will make you happy.
  4. You keep your eye on the prize – everything you do today is in order to reach your future goal, and that is what’s keeping you motivated.
  5. You have lost connection with your body and don’t trust yourself to know what you need to do or eat so you always need an expert or a programme to tell you what your body needs. You feel confused and struggle to find anything that works

    …To this (a Feel Good Mindset)

    1. Your main goal is to feel good – Your desire to feel good guides all your choices. Whatever you do, it has to feel good.
    2. You focus on how your body feels (not how it looks) – You move your body and eat well because it feels good.
    3. Your mental and emotional well-being are as important as your physical well-being – if one of these key areas of well-being is being neglected, the other areas suffer too, so you never sacrifice one area in order to reach your goals in another.
    4.  You focus on the present – Your goal is to feel good now. If you feel good now, it’s easy to make good choices that naturally lead to good future results because our choices are driven by our emotions.
    5. You listen to your body and intuition first – Your body knows best what it needs and it will never lie to you, so it’s important to first re-connect with your body and learn to listen to it.

    I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you. I’m not just sticking to the clean eating – I’m enjoying it. I too was/am an emotional eater [ … ] I have read all the articles you sent in-depth and this allowed me to really look at my overall health and not just the eating side of it. [ … ] I am looking after my entire health and well being and haven’t felt this well in a long, long time.

    Morning! I feel great this morning. Hand on heart, I don’t know the last time I woke up this fresh. Tina, you have given me a whole new view of things. A combination of a positive attitude, healthy eating and decent sleep and I just feel amazing! THANK YOU!
