Hey let me ask you something. Do you have a personal trainer who is awesome, you have been training with this PT for a while now, you notice that you are making some progress, but for some reason you just aren't as motivated as you used to be and you just keep cancelling sessions. Or your PT has taught you all about the benefits of exercise and clean eating guidelines but you just cannot stick to the eating plan. Or you just cannot get over those food cravings and end up sabotaging your hard work at the gym? Or perhaps you have seek professional advice from a trained nutritionist who has laid out an eating plan for you but you just cannot stick to the program. You know that you aren't getting the results that you want and you won't unless your nutrition is right and you struggle with motivation. Your PT tries to motivate you but deep down you know that it's a constant struggle to make it to the gym. Or do you feel guilty or frustrated about not being able to stick to your eating program? One last thing, how is your PT or nutritionist helping your or supporting you though those challenges and most importantly is it working? A personal trainer is trained in fitness and a nutritionist in nutrition. Neither of those guys are actually trained in human behaviour and mindset. But a trained life coach such as Aurelie Appasamy is. Aurelie is a holistic weight loss coach and mindset specialist for weight loss. Aurelie is trained in human behaviour and understands how the mind works. Her specialty is to assist individuals overcome self-sabotage! Self-sabotage is indeed the reason why many people fail on their weight loss journey and without the right help from a weight loss coach many people fail despite the help of a personal trainer or nutritionist.
What seems to be the common approach of the conventional weight loss industry are the exercise and eating plans. While exercise and nutrition are certainly essential components of weight loss, those alone aren't enough. There is indeed a more important component to weight loss which is the mindset. I am sure that you would agree with me, that despite all the knowledge on fitness and diets, without the right mind frame, you will keep struggling. Ain't am right here? Here's the thing about mind frame. It is not enough to try and stay positive all the time. Even staying positive is a struggle in itself. Adopting a mindset for success isn't that simple, it requires time , effort and the help from a trained mindset specialist such as Aurelie Appasamy. Aurelie will help you gain better understanding of your own behavior, your decision making strategies and your patterns and will also help you overcome any mental obstacles that gets in your way.
A weight loss coach will assist you look at various areas of your life to determine where the underlying issue could be coming from.
This means that if you feel unfulfilled in an area of your life, it will impact on other areas of your life as well. I am sure that right now you not being fulfilled in your health and body image is also probably affecting other areas of your life, perhaps your relationships, perhaps it's affecting your confidence which in turn is impacting on your career, your finances, your friendships and a whole lot of other things. And if you are not fulfilled in your health then chances are there are other things in other areas of your life that are impacting on your health and that's where everything is stemming from. A life coach helps you examine and look at various areas of your life to identify where the cause of your weight is stemming from and help you deal with that. As a result it's not only with your health that you see improvement but also in many other areas of your life. A life coach can help you achieve much more fulfilment in life.
There are similarities between weight loss coaching, therapy or counseling or the approach taken by other conventional weight loss professionals such as nutritionist and personal trainers. First of all all three approach provides a supportive environment for it's clients. Each approach focus on motivating clients to succeed. Each approach have a goal setting component to it. The differences between weight loss coaching and other weight loss methods are that dieticians and PT tend to adopt an adviser role whereby they provide you with advise of the best way to lose weight. Coaching is different in the sense that it focus on gaining clarity around the steps to take as well as possible challenges and how to overcome those challenges. Therapy and counseling focuses more on healing the past. While coaching also pay some attention to past events, coaching mostly focuses on outcomes and is rather results orientated.
A good life coach is compassionate. Understanding human behavior is a very useful tool in adopting a compassionate approach to weight loss. This is an area that unfortunately many weight loss professionals lack. For instance you personal trainer may not comprehend why you self sabotage? Why you struggle so much to follow your eating plan, why you lack the drive or incentive to exercise, why you are not consistent with your routine. And this is also why there are so many common myths in the weight loss industry. For example, if you aren't motivated to go to the gym then it is assumed that you are lazy. Of course this isn't necessarily the truth as there are certainly underlying causes to every behavior. A weight loss coach is trained and capable of helping you gain better understanding of yourself and raise your self-awareness
