Struggling with weight for close to 40 years, I was desperate for change and after trying every diet, I had succumbed to the allure of the quick fix, Bariatric Surgery. Lucky for me in month four of my wait for surgery Deborah’s ad popped up and changed my life forever.  

 

I was an overweight teenager who felt insignificant in the world, my weight was my fixation. Over the years the things I heard about myself just because I was overweight had slowly but surely destroyed any confidence I could muster.  

 

I started on the 30 day Challenge and release a monumental 8 kg. That was enough for me to sign up for TKS tribe and continue my journey as I had finally been shown the way to a healthy weight with no bariatric surgery needed. I started to gain confidence in myself. Gaining control of what had hindered me for so many years was a huge breakthrough for me and the start of a better life.  

 

When Deborah offered the Metabolic Mindset Coach course I think I had my hand up and waiving it around like a lunatic. I cannot think of a more rewarding job than to help people with their weight struggle. The feelings; shame, guilt, hate, anger, sadness to name a few are all familiar to me. I have lived with these feelings since I was a teenager and this is where the coach is there to help you. You can eat healthy but the key is the mindset work and understanding your triggers, where and when they started to invade you mind and thought process and work on strategies to eliminated them.  

 

When I realised how important the mindset work is, more to the point how our mind works, I had a need to delve further. I am currently enrolled to study Diploma of Counselling as I feel this will help me be the best coach.  

 

I am grateful I found this lifestyle so I can share it with my daughter, loved ones and everyone who choose me to hold their hand while they go through the TKS program
