Former fat Dad who'd given up on life and happiness turned " go-to" Trainer and Online coach with a no-nonsense approach to changing lives. Education, motivation and inspiration. Calling time on your excuses and helping you chase your dreams !!
I was suffering really badly with food addiction but in the darkest forms of secret and binge eating. Food was very much the enemy and I hated myself for being so weak and helpless under its control over me. But it didn't have to be that way ,, for me or for you !
Mindset Coaching clients gets me really excited. Why ? Because I literally see people cage their lives in often truly spectacular ways. It's there for the taken. I don't care how many times you have failed. Success , health , happiness are all just waiting for the day you TRULY decide you want them.
Dedicated to Captain Sir Tom and I'd pure inspiration in the most difficult of times . It's one thing to be unhappy with your current situation , it's quite another to have the strength to do something to change it . We are all too often so weak willed that we never experience that sense of making a difference. My goodness but he did !! In the most amazing way. A true portrayal of mental and physical resilience and a shining example to us all. Rest in Peace Sir , your duty is most definitely done ❤️
We are quite literally on LOCKDOWN ... It's very scary times . We can't underplay that . BUT never has it been more important to CONTROL the things we can . When my back was against the wall in the past I actually did my best work ! Stay Safe !
I love seeing people determined to change their life for the better. But let's be honest .. talk is cheap ! Old ways don't open new doors unfortunately. Change requires change in every way ... What we eat , how we move and how we THINK !!
When you started out you'd have given anything to be where you are today ! Never lose sight of that . It's easy to get disheartened or assume you're not as far down the road as you'd like to be . Learn to love your journey ,,, highs and lows !
Are the people around you just not on your side through the change process ? That's ok. It's their issue , but ,,, they need to stay in their Lane. They don't get to sabotage your amazing journey !
What's holding you back from health and happiness ? What's your ANCHOR ? If we're to move you forward , we need to know. I share mine in the hope that you can identify yours.
Can you relate ? Yes . I've had many who desperately wanted to see me fail. It's actually a positive . Have a listen , I'll explain why !
All too often I see people completely hold themselves back from health and happiness because this is their default setting ... Poor me ! It really is a road to nowhere.
I hear constantly from people unhappy with an element of their lives ,,, they tell me how they have no motivation. They're actually wrong . They're just looking in the wrong place .....
Forget pleasing everyone else . If you're not happy start with pleasing YOU ... Fix YOU and everyone can fall into place. Stop saying YES to everyone else and NO to yourself !!
Which voice wins the battle in your head ? The positive or the negative ? Is it a case of " I can actually do this " or is it more like " who am I kidding " ???
I wasted years being unhappy and convincing myself I wasn't worthy of any better. I was wrong ! The second I realised that I was worth it, the magic began. I want nothing more than for that magic to happen for you too.
So you're waiting patiently for this magical phenomenon to come and save you? That's what your future happiness depends on? Willpower ? Sorry guys, its not happening! You're wasting time and that's a shame because the answer actually lies a lot closer to home than you think.
Stop concerning yourself with others and what they're doing. Focus on YOU and prioritise YOUR journey. Get the blinkers on and run your own race !!
No matter what your goals or where your journey is headed there will be challenges. You will slip up, have bad days and struggle to see the point in continuing. Staying on Track is vital. Make it as easy as possible. Here's my take.
That perfect day you're waiting for to CHANGE isn't coming !! Wake up call. The clouds are out there for the taking but you need to dig through some dirt on the way. Don't worry. It's worth it !!
I've fought some horrendous battles in secret. Being physically and mentally abused, binge eating and the battles I imposed upon myself. Thing is they weren't all necessary ! Some of our secret battles are pointless and avoidable. Let's talk about auditing your battles, eliminating those you don't even need to fight and getting help to fight those you do.
All too often we completely lose sight of what should be our number 1 priority , our Health. No matter what your goal or motivation you can't achieve anything without Health.
Mindset ... A powerful word that's often overused and undervalued. When the heads not right the journey will be short lived. Weightloss listeners this is critical !!!
When times got tough and I was really up against it, the promises I made saw me through. As much distance as I could manage from the old me was the priority and faith that better days lay ahead.
My weight loss success in those early days didn't please everyone. I had to dig deep and stay true to the promise I'd made myself. I just couldn't go back.
My jouney takes a turn in a whole new direction !! One I'll never regret. When the pupil is ready the teacher appears !!
So I've lost 5 stone in as many months and it's all falling into place. It's amazing, but not everyone is so pleased. Time to do some miles on the Lonely Road that would ultimately bring me to where I am today.
My story continues as I join the gym and see 5 stone off in as many months ! Until BANG .... I ran the risk of losing it all.
Back to where it all began. There's little point explaining the process of my change of you don't understand WHY that change was DO or DIE for me.
