"LITTLE BY LITTLE ,

ONE TRAVELS FAR."

I have struggled with my weight for 40 years. That is, when I actually stop to think about it, a shocking 80% of my life so far.

The natural tendency is to think that someone who struggles with their weight is overweight by some standard. And yes, I have spent many of my years on that side of things. But I have also spent years struggling at a “normal” weight and even underweight on occasion. Plain and not so simply, I have lived a majority of my life consumed by a number on the scale, negative body image and how I thought those factors defined who I am.

Everyone needs Suzie in their life. If you don’t think you need Suzie in your life you probably need her more than you can imagine. With more time, patience and compassion than I likely deserve, she helped me to change my life for good. She helped me take an honest look at the behaviors that were keeping me from finding the success I had spent so many years chasing. Change is hard, because I had to change what I was used to. It was also worth every moment of doubt and every step backward to confidently take a step forward.

  I feel better than I ever have in my life.

I reached out to Suzie because I found myself in my early 40s having completely lost my mojo. My weight had started to creep up over the years, and I wasn’t feeling like the best version of myself. Most importantly, I had lost all of my confidence, and felt completely lost in finding a consistent path forward. From day one, Suzie was a breath of fresh air, and offered a different perspective than all of the other self help books and fad diets I tried to feel better. We were able to work together to set realistic and achievable steps that allowed me to feel successful, confident and free of any judgement. Suzie’s guidance and encouragement got me back on track for my health goals and renewed my positive outlook on life. I am losing weight, making exercise a priority, and treating myself with the respect I deserve. I am so thankful to have found Suzie….she has such an amazing talent for helping others and is truly a bright light in this world.

Being tired of the stress, restrictions and time constraints of diets, I decided to work with Suzie. She has taught me how to look at food, not as good or bad, but how it meets or hinders my long-term goals and how I feel. In three months, despite several trips, three family birthdays and many end of the school year celebrations, I have been able to transform my body and how I feel. I feel so much better. Suzie listens, teaches and adapts my steps to meet my life and goals in a non-judgemental, yet accountable way. She helped me see so much more clearly and feel like my best self.

One of the biggest things I have learned is being mindful of what I put in my mouth. I would previously just blindly eat when I was hungry. Now I think about what my body needs, what protein I’m going to eat (because it turns out, being a vegetarian, I was really lacking in protein) and the importance of planning my meals. I try to set myself up for success daily (though life does happen).  I feel more energetic, more confident and my clothes fit so much better.  It's crazy what feeling better in my own skin does for a human like me...I am so much more my true self.
