I have been in perimenopause since 2021. I had been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for over 18 months. My mood suffered, my stress levels suffered, my energy suffered. I "avoided" foods and would throw in the towel each and every time the scale went up despite my efforts. I hired a coach and went in being very optimistic. I filled out the intake form with 100% raw honesty and Catharine was matched with me. When you hear about a match made in heaven, this would be an example. She had been where I am so her empathy is a God's send. I love how she communicates and how she shares her advice with me. Now everything is making sense. I never trusted the process. I always gave up before I had a chance to trust the process. I have lost 8.5 pounds in 2 months and am down over 5 inches. I love going out in social situations and I am not afraid to eat this or that. I never feel deprived, I enjoy food much much more because there is so much more food for me to enjoy now that I am not avoiding any. And this is not all about the scale.....My mood, energy and stress levels have improved 100%. It is so liberating!!! One of the best decisions I have ever made was hiring a macros coach.
