Your Story

Our last session at Simple Coaching, we talked about our story. I always listen, as many of our stories aren’t exactly the same but I did see lots of heads nodding in agreement. We never realize just how far we ’ve come only because we use the scale as our only barometer of our success. When I think back to where I used to be……….. it was never just one cookie but the whole row and maybe even two, no one will notice. It was never just one scoop, in a dish, at the table, it was over the sink, out of the carton, smooth it over, nobody will notice. I could go, the donuts, the bags, the bars, but you know the scene, I’m sure.

I’m ashamed of how destructive I was to myself, mentally and physically. I try to think of why, but I do know it started a very long time ago. With the guidence of our coaches Bren and Jen, I’ve worked very hard on maintaining healthy food habits, exercising everyday and working on myself. This is what I am working on:

HEALTH – making good food choices and exercising, as best I can

HAPPINESS – looking for the little things in life that will make me happy

HOPEFUL – that I will never give up on myself

Changes don’t happen overnight. It takes time, patience and a lot of work. So I’ve found where I have to be and the community where I belong, here at Simple Coaching, with Brenda and Jennifer and all of you.
