Why A Weight Loss Coach

By Aurelie Appasamy


Have you recently joined a gym or perhaps a personal training studio, you have hired a personal trainer and everything is fine however you notice that you just aren't as motivated as you used to be, you constantly have to rely on your trainer for motivation and just going to the gym is a constant battle? Or perhaps you exercise regularly and intensely at the gym, but when you get home you undo your had work by overeating? Do you have an eating plan perfectly laid out for you but you somehow just cannot follow that plan? Do you feel discouraged, frustrated and perhaps a little bit guilty about the whole situation? Do you feel discouraged by it all becuase even with the help of a personal trainer or nutritionist you know that there is still something missing and you know that things just aren't working out a 100%. And you are right, there is indeed something missing. See, while a personal trainer specializes in exercise and a nutritionist in healthy eating, these guys aren't really trained in human behavioral sciences and psychology. As a result they are unable to assist you with the behavioral challenges you are facing. Aurelie is a life coach and specializes in weight loss mindset and motivation. She is trained in NLP( Neuro Linguistic Programming) and her area of expertise is to helo individuals overcome self-sabotage which is the biggest cause of failure in people attempting to lose weight despite the help from other weight loss professionals.

Aurelie has been involved in the fitness industry for a long time and unfortunately the approach taken by many weight loss professionals isn't complete and only address one side of the equation. Exercise and nutrition although are the two pillars of weight loss, those alone aren't enough to produce long term results as there is a third pillar of weight loss which is the mindset. A weight loss coach is qualified and trained in mindset coaching and can help you with your mindset. The thing is many people think that adopting a great success mindset is as simple as being more positive and happy. But this isn't true. Our mindset or state of mind depends on our emotions and emotional states and our thoughts patterns. If it was as easy as being positive wouldn't you be having the outcomes that you wanted by now? Creating the mindset that you need requires a great deal of self-awareness, it includes exploring and examining your fears, the way you have interpreted events from your past and the way you deal with your own emotions on a subconscious level. A weight loss coach assist you in gaining more insights into your own behaviour, emotions and patterns so that you gain a deeper understanding of your own behaviour. With the help of a weight loss coach you will finally understand why you self-sabotage, why you have those cravings, why it always seems that things get in the way of you reaching your goals. Once this is understood, a weight loss coach will also assist you overcome those emotional barriers with life coaching tools and a techniques such as NLP, EFT and hypnosis.

A weight loss coach takes a rather holistic approach to weight loss. We are holistic individuals.

Did you know that struggling with your weight often has nothing to do with your health or weight problem itself but often there are underlying causes that either stems from other areas of your life or from childhood. Your struggle with emotional eating for example could be pointing towards an unfulfilled career, needs not being met in your relationships, frustrations with friendships, rejection and loneliness, confusion about your career, job insecurities, lack of excitement and fun. There are many different things that could be causing you to struggle with your weight and a weight loss coach will help you explore your life map in order to identify those root causes. As a result you will see improvement in your health as well as in your family, relationships, career and finances.

There are similarities between weight loss coaching, therapy or counseling or the approach taken by other conventional weight loss professionals such as nutritionist and personal trainers. First of all all three approach provides a supportive environment for it's clients. Each approach focus on motivating clients to succeed. Each approach have a goal setting component to it. The differences between weight loss coaching and other weight loss methods are that dieticians and PT tend to adopt an adviser role whereby they provide you with advise of the best way to lose weight. Coaching is different in the sense that it focus on gaining clarity around the steps to take as well as possible challenges and how to overcome those challenges. Therapy and counseling focuses more on healing the past. While coaching also pay some attention to past events, coaching mostly focuses on outcomes and is rather results orientated.

A great life coach is empathic because a life coach is trained in aspects of human behavioral science. And a coach such as Aurelie takes an extremely empathic approach to weight loss. Unfortunately many of the approach taken in the conventional weight loss industry is rather blaming and loathing. And this is because people who aren't trained in weight loss psychology do not comprehend human behavior fully. For instance your personal trainer may not fully understand why you eat emotionally or what's behind your lack of motivation and as a result this creates a lot of judgement and misconceptions about weight loss. A weight loss coach of course can assist you and provide you with a judgement free environment for you to fully explore and learn about yourself.
