Do You Have a Weight Coach?

Learn how important it is to have a weight loss coach to assist you on your weight loss journey.

So you want to lose weight. You swore that January 1st was the beginning of a new you, a slimmer, more energetic, and healthier you. But here we are half way through the year and somehow you just haven’t reached your goals. Does this sound familiar? If you find that you keep repeating this process, then you may just need a weight loss coach, someone to help you along your journey.

A weight loss coach can help you to reach your fitness goals by providing a clear customized road map which encompasses fitness, nutrition, and behavioral modifications.

I hear various excuses for why people don’t utilize weight loss coaches.

1.  I don’t really need a coach. I just need to (exercise, eat right, stop stuffing my face…)

Well, the fact that you are still struggling to get a handle on this part of your health is a sign. Often, there are critical things we simply don’t see about ourselves. I call these blind spots. Sometimes, we can’t see these blind spots because of lack of knowledge or denial about our true eating or fitness habits. Blind spots exist in various areas, such as how much you actually eat, your cultural beliefs about what a healthy weight is or the serious consequences of poor eating and fitness habits. As the old saying goes, "You can’t change what you don’t see." A coach can assist you in moving past your blind spots.

2.  I don’t know how to find one.

Well, a weight loss coach can come in several forms. Companies such as Weight Watchers or Jennie Craig both provide coaching. In Prince Georges County, there are several nutrition classes offered at local community centers. Lastly, there are independent weight loss coaches such as my company Herbal Way Wellness that assist individuals in reaching their wellness goals though 1 on 1 Wellness Coaching and Weight Lose Challenges.

3.  A weight loss coach is too expensive.

There is a weight loss coach for almost every budget. At Herbal Way Wellness, we offer weight loss coaching for as little as $60 for 10 weeks. That’s $6.00 a week which is less than a value meal at McDonalds.

It’s easy to say that you will eat right, exercise and stick with it. But, the truth is that even the most successful people get off track at times and find it hard to stay motivated. You are not lazy. Nor are you lacking will power. You just need assistance as you move along your weight loss journey. With coaching you can get support, accountability and a slimmer, more energetic, and healthier you
