Non Diet/Love Your Body Paid Group Coaching Weight Control for Women: If you're a plus size gal in your 40's, sick to death of putting off your life, worn out from years of scale hopping and weight watching, exhausted as all holy hell with the nonsense of counting points or calories, unwilling to diet or deprive yourself a moment longer, then you're ripe and ready to go beyond dieting and discover how to tune into and use your body to put your weight control on auto pilot so that you can eat and enjoy the foods you love as you slowly and naturally get thinner without ever dieting again. Hi. I’m Andrea Amador, professional certified empowerment coach, Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming and body image/self esteem expert. I'm going to be your guide on the road to making peace with food and friends with your body. Your journey starts with a spoonful of self acceptance. Because until you take that first baby step toward being okay with yourself now as you are in this moment, your resistance in the form of negative emotions will keep on pushing your hunger buttons and you'll end up eating out of control, trying to feel better about yourself. As humans, we resist change and cling to the familiar. It's a survival instinct. In order to create a loving, trusting and harmonious relationship with food and your body, you'll have to overcome sabotage and resistance. To move beyond that resistance, you need to release the negative emotions that are keeping you tied to feeling badly about your body and your relationship to food. By clearing those negative emotions, you will create feelings of safety, confidence and tranquility, making change nearly effortless. As the author of the book, "Lovin' the Skin You're In: The Juicy Woman's Guide to Making Peace with Food and Friends with Your Body, I've designed a 7 step trademarked system guaranteed to change your life and body from the inside out. I'm offering myself as a powerful role model and guide for you and I hope that you'll decide to learn from my goofs and make them your gain. Because having been in recovery from my own dysfunctional eating for nearly 4 years this August, I've got quite a big head start on you, and I've learned about what works and what doesn't and I'm just bursting to tell you about it so that you won't make the same mistakes I did. For one thing, as a plus-size gal myself I've been dieting for decades, and from plenty of painful experience and precious time wasted hating my thighs, I now understand that you have to change your insides before you can change your outsides. In other words, you can't get thinner, if you're thinking fat, and diets keep you thinking and feeling fat. Better strap in, because this ride is not for wimps. It's not easy to think thin when your mirror, scale and clothes are all telling you that you're fat. You've been fooled by the diet organization to believe that if you're overweight, you are the problem, that's not true. Your weight and challenge with eating is only a symptom of the problem and being overweight is no cause for shame on your part. If you hate your body and want to get thinner, you don't necessarily need another diet, a grueling exercise routine, a gym membership, radical surgery, pills, powders, gadgets or gizmos. In fact, you don't need to do anything drastic to change your outsides-- what you need is to start working on your insides--those parts of your life that are like gaping holes, making you feel empty and unfulfilled. That's what you need to change in order to get thinner permanently. The real problem is a lack of self love and a sagging self esteem, which sometimes keeps you acting out the part of a victim in certain relationships and situations in your life. For example: You could be a brilliant and confident businesswoman, but your relationship with your spouse or kids could be causing you pain and you lose all your sense of self in their presence. That probably shows up in your life in your unbalanced relationship with food. As your coach, I'm here to teach you how to legalize all foods so that you can rebuild a positive relationship with food and your body, controlling your emotional eating. That will give you a sense of self respect that you have probably been missing. When you get that extra added boost of feeling good about yourself, and knowing that you're not a bottomless pit of hunger, it will enable you to focus your energy on taking steps to reclaim your life where you're feeling out of control, unloved, or unworthy. And once you start acting like the powerful woman you know you're capable of being, placing your focus back on doing what you love, and taking charge, food loses it's emotional tug over you. Are you ready to learn how to feel safe around all foods, stop playing games hiding behind diets and invest in yourself for a change? If you are, then I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's get started. Shall we?
