Permanent Weight Loss Coaching
I know what it’s like to struggle with weight issues. It’s not fun.
I started gaining weight as a pre-teen. My after school snacks included bowls of peanut butter and corn syrup. My oldest brother once teased me that I had enough ice cream in my bowl for “a family of five”. My other brother called me buffalo butt. Kids at school called me “chocolate moose”.
My best friend was what I lovingly refer to as a “skinny bitch” and I couldn’t help but compare myself to her, and I came up REALLY short. No matter where I went or what I did, being fat was always on my mind. I felt like a blimp. Nothing I wore was attractive. My dumb jock of a gym teacher repeatedly singled me and my fat friends out as being slow and lazy. In grade seven, a girl I looked up to, took one look at my lunch and said to me “no wonder you’re so fat, look at all the food you eat.”
My 15th summer I lost 20lbs. I left my first year of high school chubby and unhappy and came back for grade ten as a new person, or so everyone thought. My motivation? An anorexic friend. It was about that time that my obsession with food and exercise began. I had an old stationary bike that my grandparents figured would be better off in my possession than collecting dust in their basement and I rode it so much that I wore the tension wheel to a mere stub. Much to my father’s delight, (I really wish someone would invent a sarcasm font) I did hours of step aerobics in my room, directly above the living room. When my parents refused to buy me another piece of exercise equipment for Christmas, my boyfriend bought me a stepper, which I also used so much that I broke the welds. I was the first girl to join the weight club at school. I started reading “Flex” and “Muscle and Fitness” magazines. Bodybuilding superstar Cory Everson became my hero.
On the diet front, I did my best, considering I was 15 and didn’t know squat about nutrition. I bought Slim-Fast and Dexatrim with my own money. I drank skim milk, I ate my vegetables. When a friend’s mother commented on my weight loss my response was “I want to be a nutritionist, so I thought I’d better look the part.” But the sugar cravings wouldn’t be ignored. At my after school job I’d try to resist the chocolate bar rack with all my might, only to cave, rip open a wrapper and eat 2/3rd’s of the bar before my guilty conscious took over and tossed the rest of it in the trash. Thirty minutes later, as soon as the guilt wore off I’d tear into another and repeat the entire process, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a night. I’d go home in a sugar and guilt haze and make myself throw up to abate the guilt. I was never really bulimic or anorexic, but I certainly used the old finger down the throat trick more than once so I didn’t cry myself to sleep. My weight started to creep up again and I fought it tooth and nail in a desperate cycle of exercise, dieting, deprivation and depression.
Life changed a little in my twenties. I was away from mom’s home-cooked meals and my bedroom fitness centre. I was working in the fast food industry, trying to find my place in life, dreams of becoming a nutritionist dashed and I quickly gained 20 pounds. Life was pretty miserable. Here I was, living what is supposed to be the best time of my life and I had yet to experience any real sense of pride in who I was. The extra 20-30 pounds poisoned every part of my life. Sure I had friends, but I was jealous, I was unhappy, I put other people down in an attempt to hide my own inadequacy. Basically I was a fat bitch.
I knew a lot about nutrition and exercise by this point, but having the knowledge certainly wasn’t enough to put it into practice. Even if I was very careful with my diet and exercise for a period of weeks or even months, I would quickly fall into a spiral of defeat when my weight refused to budge. I constantly watched the scale, letting it dictate how I felt about myself and how I interacted with people in my life.
Later on in my twenties I returned to, and intensified the dedicated diet and exercise regimen I had started in my teens. I counted calories, I kept food journals, I cut butter out of my diet, I ate pitas instead of bread. I avoided drinking coffee so I wouldn’t have the extra calories from cream and sugar. I took nutrition courses here and there. I would workout in the morning after a twelve hour night shift at my factory job. I was able to peel away a few of those extra pounds, but it was never enough. No matter how much I lost, I still had the same fat programming. Even at the thinnest I’ve ever been in my life, I felt fat.
I couldn’t stop trying to find the solutions to this deep-seated unhappiness, so I delved into further learning, believing that I just didn’t know the “secret” yet. I became a holistic nutritionist, then a personal trainer, then a sports nutritionist. I devoured book after book, tried diet after diet, went to every conceivable professional that I thought could help me including a therapist, homeopaths, naturopaths, other nutritionists etc. I sought and sought.
And then one day I found….
EFT (the Emotional Freedom Technique), first came to me through a diet book. I tried it, but didn’t have much success and put it on the shelf for about a year. Then it came across my desk again, and again, and AGAIN, so I thought I’d better pay attention. Since then I can’t describe how much my life has changed.
EFT and the other emotional releasing modalities that I’ve learned since have given me the sense of well-being and peace about my body for which I had been searching for 20 years or more. I know that what I’ve learned can help those that are struggling with their body and their weight in the same way that it helped me.
“Attend” my FREE workshop on Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Emotional Eating RIGHT HERE!
I’ve developed a number of programs to teach this valuable information that has benefited me so greatly, and I know it will benefit you as well.
All programs teach the same information with varying levels of support.
In all programs you’ll learn:
1) How to do EFT. “EFT is a powerful technique that has helped thousands, if not millions of people make peace with their deeply subconscious blocks to achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. EFT provides two remarkable benefits for weight loss that sets it apart from other methods:
Benefit #1 – EFT Can Reduce or Eliminate Your Immediate Cravings: Using EFT for 1 or 2 minutes can arrest your cravings in an estimated 80% of the cases. Thus, you may no longer need to “eat when you are not hungry.” This feature surprises most newcomers.
Benefit #2 – EFT Can Reduce or Eliminate Emotional Overeating: If you have been using food to “tranquilize” years of past emotional hurts, then you may find EFT to be your best friend. EFT can bring you more emotional peace which, in turn, can lead to more sensible eating habits. This emotional contributor, which EFT is designed to address, is the missing piece in most weight loss programs.” -Gary Craig, inventor of EFT
2) Using EFT, learn how to find and release limiting beliefs, the subconscious blocks and self-sabotage behaviours that keep you stuck such as:
- EFT for cravings
- EFT for self-sabotage and eating when you’re not hungry
- Attitudes towards food – how do you think and feel about food? Is food a form of reward or punishment?
- Attitudes towards exercise- how do you think and feel about exercise? Is exercise a chore or is it fun?
- EFT on how to motivate yourself to exercise and actually WANT to, all the time!
- EFT on the emotions of dieting, deprivation, restriction, guilt, frustration etc.
- EFT on identity- sometimes we don’t know who we’ll be when we reach our ideal weight, we can’t identify with that person or even visualize it and the fear of the unknown can keep us stuck.
- EFT on how our relationships will change at our ideal weight, not only with ourselves, but also with our spouses, our siblings, our co-workers, our friends. Fear of someone else being jealous can keep us stuck as well. Whenever something in us changes, our relationship dynamics change and we need to get that out of the way.
- EFT on any fears, illogical or not, about what could happen to us when we reach our ideal weight and we’ll explore your mental connections to any possible negative consequences of that, including what society (or your subconcious) thinks of thin people.
- EFT on fear of re-gaining the weight or fear of failure and fear of success.
3) How to master the Law of Attraction and focus your thinking so you can achieve your weight loss goals.
4) How to eat for weight loss, based on cutting-edge science
5) The best exercise for weight loss, also based on the latest science
6) Supplements that can speed up your weight loss and make you healthier overall
7) Resources for further growth so you can achieve all of your life’s dreams

Why I recommend Fish Oil
A high quality fish oil is one of the most important supplements you can take, and I believe everyone should take at least 1-2 tablespoons every day.
The essential oils found in fish oil, DHA and EPA are vitally important to every aspect of your health due to the fact that they make up every cell membrane in your body. Without them, the cell walls will be weak and cells will easily be damaged by processes in your body. When cell membranes are weak, things that are supposed to stay inside the cells like nutrients get out, and things that are supposed to stay out of the cell, like wastes and toxins, get in.
For that reason, essential fats found in fish oil play a role in correcting MANY symptoms of ill health and in keeping you in a state of optimal health. Just to name a few things, essential fats are vital for proper brain function and memory, eyesight, healthy skin, blood sugar regulation, athletic performance, healthy joints, and even healthy weight regulation.
Buyer beware though, not all fish oils are created equal. The vast majority of fish oils you will find at retailers are rancid due to the delicate nature of fish oils. That is VERY bad, because not only is a rancid fish oil not going to provide the nutrients you need, it can actually be HARMFUL due to the oxidation of the oils. You can tell when a fish oil is rancid if it tastes or smells fishy or bitter.I recommend liquid fish oil, but if you are taking a capsule, break one open and check it for rancidity by tasting and smelling it. Fish oil needs to be refridgerated after it is opened and used up within six weeks as well.
One caution with fish oil is that is will make your blood less sticky and reduce clotting time. That is actually a good thing for most people, but if you are already on blood thinners, talk to your doctor and have them adjust your medication accordingly. Also, if you are scheduled for surgery or going into dangerous situations with a possibility of bleeding (military depolyment for example) you should stop your fish oil two weeks prior.
How much do I take?
1 tablespoon, twice per day is a great dose for most healthy adults. If you train hard or fat loss is a goal, you can safely take much more. This Fish Oil Calculator from Whole Nine is a great tool to figure out how much you should take. You will have to copy and paste this link to get there. http://whole9life.com/fish-oil/
When do I take it?
Ideally you will take your fish oil morning and night, with meals that contain some other healthy fats. Avoid taking it directly before or after working out if weight loss is a goal, simply because fats slow digestion. Please do not assume that means fish oil will impede fat loss, because it will not, it actually speeds fat burning when you take it at the right time.

What is EFT?
EFT is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:
Mind Body Medicine
Acupuncture (without needles).
In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). Properly done, this frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.
