Look In the Mirror

Article by Elaina Wang

 

You know that moment when you put something new and exciting on, you feel amazing, and you look in the mirror?

For the those first few moments you think, "WOW! I look great!" You get really excited, you are awesome and amazing for those first 20-30 seconds. Then, the trouble starts. You start tearing yourself apart by focusing on every little flaw. Suddenly this new, exciting, beautiful thing is not what you thought it was.

I am pretty sure you all know what I am talking about. For that first minute, you feel like this shadow of a beautiful unicorn, ready to take on the world! But when you focus on yourself with the intention of finding those small flaws you beat yourself up, and you tear that confidence down to an old, beaten up rocking horse.

Stop it!

Walk away from the mirror, and do it with confidence. No more standing there, tearing yourself up, beating yourself down, and looking for flaws. It is OK to be a work in progress. Wear your confidence with pride, and be fabulous.

In reality, that awesome, confident person you saw for those few, brief moments is exactly what the world sees! People are not looking at you to tear you down and, frankly, if they are, those are not your people. Be confident in your own skin.

You ARE that unicorn!! That IS what other people see.

Today is my 8 week keto anniversary! Down 14.5lbs, many inches down especially 2 inches in the waist. Made it through Thanksgiving easily. Didn’t miss anything I used to eat. Couldn’t have done it without my coach, Sabrina.

I had lost my focus and needed guidance and understanding of the pit falls I was experiencing. Since signing up for coaching, I have had a lot of "A-Ha Moments"; one of which is that I needed the accountability as I am very good at rationalizing things which are not to my benefit. I am more excited about this WOE and feel like I have so much more control. I wish I had signed up for coaching a year ago!!

Group coaching helps you not feel alone in your keto journey. I started out with one on one coaching and it was extremely beneficial, but I feel like I am learning even more from group coaching. It's great to hear the things others are going through and help provide support while learning how to navigate a situation like that in the future, and of course to have others there to celebrate in your successes! I plan to utilize the coaching services until I reach my goals. I don't think I would be moving in such a positive direction without coaching.

I started Keto January of 2017 and did what I thought was “Keto” but more like lazy Keto until November of 2017 . I was stalled for months before I decided to go with coach Lisa Carroll who taught me so much about reading food labels, vitamins, and really just paying more attention to my body than worrying about the scale.  I have many medical issues and understand it is a slower process for me as my body heals from all the damage done but I totally believe in this WOE to the point I am hoping to become a coach one day as well.

I went through menopause at 40 and began to really struggle with my weight. I was no longer seeing success with the "normal" weight loss plans that had worked in my 20s and 30s and I was at my wit's end. I hired Katrina as my coach because I could not wrap my head around eating fat. I was terrified I would do it wrong and continue to gain. Figuring out the food ended up being the easy part - fixing my thinking and setting reasonable expectations for MY unique journey was where coaching was truly invaluable. I was a relatively slow loser and having Katrina help me understand why my progress was slow helped me stay the course. She also encouraged me focus on the non-scale benefits of Keto such as better sleep and no more aches and pains instead of being singularly focused on the scale. Thanks to Keto, I now feel better than I did in my 20s! Courtney (48 years old).
