I’m curious . . . how did you learn to swim?

Did someone pick you up and toss you into the deep end, forcing you to sink or swim?

Or were you encouraged to get comfortable with the water, going in at your own pace, and being supported as you learned to float so that you felt totally and completely safe?

Think about which experience would more likely foster a life-long love of swimming and which might create fear and resistance?

It’s pretty obvious right?

Too many diet and exercise programs are the equivalent of getting tossed into the deep end of the pool.

Most people have the belief that you have to immediately go from chocolate eating coach potato to organic-eating athlete.

This leads to feelings of deprivation and resentment, as well as guilt when you just can’t take it anymore and you do give in and eat the chocolate.

Is it any wonder the vast majority of diet and exercise programs fail long-term?

You aren’t encouraged to slowly acclimate to and get comfortable with the healthy new actions and to go at your own pace. You are not supported as you learn new ways of eating, moving . . . and living . . . so that you feel total safe.

To create the body you want, you have to foster a life-long love of healthy eating and moving your body.

Here’s the good news.

Just because you’ve been thrown into the diet and exercise deep-end in the past and have beliefs that getting slim is hard, that it means deprivation, and that you hate exercise . . . you absolutely can have a different experience.

• You can change your expectations about what releasing weight means.
• You can seek support and encouragement so that you create a healthy lifestyle that you absolutely love.
• You can be in charge of creating a healthy eating plan where eating chocolate is perfectly fine.
• You can decide to create the body you want at your own pace so that it’s fun, easy, and sustainable.

Just because most people jump into the deep end of the pool doesn’t make it the best way.

Together we can do it!
