Before the pandemic, I was a remedial and sports massage therapist. My purpose was to help others to feel better in their body and reconnect themselves. But in the meantime, I searched for a tool that could help me be a better therapist. And I find life coaching, which is precisely the method I was searching for because, with this, I can support my clients to transform their lives with small steps. And the whole journey started with me.
Why? Because I started coaching myself too. I learned how to develop new habits and live healthier lives. I am 38 years old now and have three children. Like many parents, I always put myself back, and over the years, I became overweight and not very active however the massages made me much stronger.
Last year during the first lockdown, like many of us, I felt overwhelmed, depressed. I realised that I need to adapt to this new situation quickly. I started to be more physically active. I did home workouts 2-3 times a week from March 2020. Later, I added daily stepping to my routine, and first time in my life, I signed up for the One Million Steps Challenge for Diabetes UK and completed it between 1st of July 2020 – 30th of September 2020. This was my first big achievement, and I was so proud of myself. It helped me keep going, because I must admit that I became more active, but my weight stayed the same which was very disappointing.
I tried (but not really) to focus on what am I eating and asked for help from the GP, who referred me to the Weight Management Team. Unfortunately, I had to wait for their letter for almost a year.
But I believed in coaching and started to believe in myself, too, so from January 2021, I started a new diet. And finally, IT WORKED, IT IS STILL WORKING! I lost more than 30 lbs (14 kg)!
Was it challenging?
Yes, it was.
Was it sometimes hard?
Yes, it was.
Was it doable?
Definitely!
How did I do it?
With small steps, with COACHING?
If you feel lost, you think you tried everything, and nothing works for you, believe I know how you feel. I was there! But, if you also think you want to give it a try, you want to develop new habits and find a doable programme for you, contact me and let me help you! I BELIEVE IN YOU! THIS IS NOT JUST A PHRASE: YOU CAN DO IT!
