I started nutrition coaching with Christina Bergeron the first week of January. A little bit about me….I turned 50 in December. I’m 5’0” and started at 135 pounds. I’ve been on the diet rollercoaster since I was 12 years old (Weight Watchers with my mother circa 1985). There’s been highs in the 180’s to lows in the 110’s. It’s taken me a very long time to understand what I needed to do but I had never tried coaching and I knew that I needed the accountability. Christina was everything that I needed from a coach. She was my biggest cheerleader and constantly gave me great insight and knowledge into things I needed to improve such as my protein, fiber, and NEAT. When I started coaching, it was 3 weeks after I had a hysterectomy. At first I thought, maybe I will wait until I’m cleared for exercise but I knew that couldn’t make any more excuses and I could still make nutrition changes. Christina was patient, understanding, and I never felt like she pushed me into anything. I really felt like we were a team and that I could ask her anything….even if that meant hearing something I didn’t necessarily want to hear..haha. So I’ve lost 8 pounds and several inches in three months. I’m not done but I’m moving in the right direction. If you are on the fence., take a leap of faith. As the saying goes…what if I fail? Oh but what if you soar??
