Jen is a wonderful mom who cares about her kids more than anything. They liked to see Clyde when we skyped and say hello. But Jen did not have a great relationship with food, causing anxiety and guilt, which turned into binge eating. But the binge eating has mostly disappeared when we turned food into a friend instead of a foe. Read more in her words: Please summarize your coaching experience:
This has been truly an amazing experience for me. I’ve lived my life under the control of food. My life completely revolved around ‘what am I going to eat next?’ Because of this, I’ve been a yo-yo dieter my entire life, with no real success. I’ve historically had a horrible relationship with food, which led to binge eating and major weight fluctuations. Until now.
Bonnie has taught me to love myself, not the food. Trying to make smarter food choices, I researched as much as possible on exactly what to eat, but I never got it completely right. Bonnie not only taught me how to make the right food choices for me, but why those choices were the best for me. Her information is based on fact and science, and doesn’t follow the fad diet of the week. Her nutritional plan was tailored just for me, and I truly felt like she cared about my well being. For the first time in my life, I feel like I have complete control over food, and I can finally make the right food choices. I’m at the gym every day, and I’m dedicated to changing my lifestyle. Just Eat It coaching was the missing puzzle piece that I needed in order to make this venture a success!
What do you like most about Just Eat It coaching?
What I liked most about Just Eat It coaching was the attention to my personal history and nutritional goals. I felt like the nutritional plan was specifically tailored to my needs, and wasn’t just a blanket diet plan for the masses.
What did you learn from this experience?
I learned to choose the right foods for my needs, to give myself permission to enjoy some foods without making them the ‘enemy’, and most importantly, which foods were smart choices and why.
How has your relationship with food evolved?
Food is my friend now, not my enemy. I quit giving food power over me, and my binging has slowed almost to a halt. Yay!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Thank you Bonnie, you’ve been amazing. ☺
