After the post I wrote last week, I know I could do with one myself. Which got me thinking that given I am qualified in the area, it would be a good exercise to give you a demo using myself as the subject.
Excuse me while I talk about myself in the 3rd person in this post! Below I'm going to give you some insight into the health coaching processs. From my POV a health coach offers support and accountability in a safe space. Here's what could happen in the first couple of sessions.
For much of my life I followed the commonly held belief that a low fat diet is both good for you and supports a healthy BMI. Regularly consumed 'foods' included diet coke, skim milk, egg white omlette's, low fat dressings, diet yoghurt, cheese, sugar free gum and more. If you are still consuming these less healthy (yes less healthy) staples listen up. Stop right now. I guess you are wondering why?
Ibiza. It sounds so exotic and downright hedonistic; when one of my very good friends organized her birthday party there I didn’t hesitate.
As things turned out, as the trip approached I also happened to have some frustrating health news that left me questioning my ability to influence my health (or at least my desmoid tumor) through diet and lifestyle. This in turn meant that I decided I deserved to take a vacation not just from work but from all the restrictions I’d put on myself in my health quest. Party time.
Are you one of those people who has over the years tried almost every diet going? I totally am. I have tried Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Fit for Life, High carb, low carb, high protein, juicing, the MB 12 Week Challenge and of course the I am only going to eat 1000 calories per day every day for the rest of my life diet.
Darrows is badged as a 'Farm Fresh Takeout'. I thoroughly love this concept and was excited to try it over the weekend. I was also excited to meet with the fellow health coach student who is to be my accountability coach. She suggested Darrows mentioning in that it has a restaurant area as well.
