Why A Weight Loss Coach

By Aurelie Appasamy


Do you enthusiastically start a new diet to get off it only a few days later? Do you follow a diet perfectly then go overboard and over indulge on the weekend and undo all your hard work that way? Do you have a personal trainer or a nutritionist who have laid out a perfect exercise and nutrition plan for you but you just cannot stick to those programs. Do you spend hours at the gym only to undo all your hard work by overeating or drinking? Is your weight loss journey just a constant battle despite the help from a personal trainer or nutritionist? What If I told you that you are only one step away from success. All you have to do is stop the self-sabotage? You are getting professional help from a personal trainer and nutritionist and congratulations for stepping up, now you need one more thing and that is to take care of your mindset and do some work on yourself. Aurelie is a weight loss coach and assisting people in overcoming self-sabotage is what she does best. She is trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming a technique commonly used to foster personal development and facilitate change.

Aurelie has been involved in the fitness industry for a long time and unfortunately the approach taken by many weight loss professionals isn't complete and only address one side of the equation. Exercise and nutrition although are the two pillars of weight loss, those alone aren't enough to produce long term results as there is a third pillar of weight loss which is the mindset. A weight loss coach is qualified and trained in mindset coaching and can help you with your mindset. The thing is many people think that adopting a great success mindset is as simple as being more positive and happy. But this isn't true. Our mindset or state of mind depends on our emotions and emotional states and our thoughts patterns. If it was as easy as being positive wouldn't you be having the outcomes that you wanted by now? Creating the mindset that you need requires a great deal of self-awareness, it includes exploring and examining your fears, the way you have interpreted events from your past and the way you deal with your own emotions on a subconscious level. A weight loss coach assist you in gaining more insights into your own behaviour, emotions and patterns so that you gain a deeper understanding of your own behaviour. With the help of a weight loss coach you will finally understand why you self-sabotage, why you have those cravings, why it always seems that things get in the way of you reaching your goals. Once this is understood, a weight loss coach will also assist you overcome those emotional barriers with life coaching tools and a techniques such as NLP, EFT and hypnosis.

A weight loss coach takes a rather holistic approach to weight loss. We are holistic individuals.

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
