Worth every penny

“It is worth every penny. Thought work is for everyone, and learning how to make it work for me has been a game changer.

The level of personalization was amazing, and it helped me identify exactly where I need to focus and gave me the tools to get my brain working right when it’s hard.”
~Mary Ann M

Best decision for myself I have made in a long time

“Coaching with you has been the best decision for myself I have made in a long time.

Normalizing my thoughts and celebrating small wins has been huge. I’m showing myself compassion and being less judgmental of my thoughts.”
~Heather P

I was feeling hopeless I would ever lose weight

“It is an awakening to me when I think back what I would have done vs what I am doing today.

I am so thankful every day to be coached by you.

Prior to coaching I was feeling hopeless I would ever lose weight, and since coaching I feel hope again. Before coaching I would be eating through my feelings, and I am not doing that now.

I’ve stopped comparing myself to others.”
~Diane H

Best investment I have ever made

“Working with you has been an absolute privilege and the best investment I have ever made.

You are such a gift.

The most profound change I’ve experienced is realizing the significance of self-compassion. ‘My habit brain is supposed to be thinking that’ has helped me dial down self-criticism.

I’m beginning to understand my choices don’t define my worth, and I’m embracing that self-discovery is lifelong.”
~Jes V

Helped me realize I do not have to be perfect

“You helped me deal with family issues and grief, and helped me realize I am doing the best that I can.

You highlighted the wins I’ve had and helped me realize I do not have to be perfect.

I already have the puzzle pieces. The work is putting them together in a way that feels joyful and steady, not rushed.”
~Kim V

Changed my entire thought process on bingeing

“I shifted from thinking I was broken to understanding that the binge urges and the voices that pop up are perfectly normal and ok.

Seeing binges as a self soothing coping skill and not a self harming behavior has been a game changer.

I feel like I’ve changed my entire thought process, not only on weight loss, but on my daily life.”
~Melanie M

My relationship with food is better than it has been since I was a teenager

“I’m realizing how incredibly hard and unfair I have been to myself over the years.

Today I recognized I was at enough and didn’t want or need any more so I pushed the food away, and it makes me smile.

My relationship with food is better than it has been since I was a teenager.

I am me-searching, and I count on you to join me in my mad scientist lab to encourage me to try new things or thoughts.”
~Pam C

Your words, guidance, and listening ear are invaluable

“Seeing it on paper really helped calm the thoughts of wanting to lose weight faster.

The time will pass anyway, and your words, guidance, and listening ear are invaluable.”
~Stephanie W

I’m seeing the scale go down

“In the past when I’d start a diet, I’d calculate when I’d be done and then beat myself up every week when I missed the goal.

Now I’m more focused on my mental space and regulating my nervous system so I’m feeling better along the way.

I’m less concerned about the end date and I feel better about where I am now. I’m actually looking forward to assessing my day because I get to see what I did correctly.

It’s helping me build confidence that I do have the tools to do the things I want.

Since we started coaching together I’m seeing the scale go down.

I’m noticing the little wins throughout the day, so my mindset is changing.”
~Brenda H

I don’t have to hide my body anymore

“I accept and love my body in a way I never have before. I don’t hide it.

I wear shorts and tops that I’ve never worn outside of the house before.

Journaling helps my awareness when I want to binge eat, and I haven’t had a binge in 6+ months.

I feel more confident in who I am and my worth just as I am.

I trust you completely and easily. You make me laugh.”
~Becky L

Though I needed to be a certain weight to be confident

“Before coaching I was paralyzed by the idea that I lacked confidence because I was convinced I needed to be a certain weight to be confident.

You helped smash that big old bowl of BS.

I’m now working with what I’ve got instead of pushing to make my life and me into something I’m not.

It’s been really freeing and I have been stress eating less.”
~Rosalind K

My nervous system is in such a better place

“Thank you, Lizzie, for all of your help! You are an amazing coach.

I’m so lucky I get to work with you! I love that we keep experimenting (without judgment).

Thanks to you, my nervous system is in such a better place than it was a few weeks ago!”
~Megan S

A steady presence during some of my toughest times

“Thank you for your guidance over these past six months.

You’ve been such a steady presence during some of my toughest times, helping me stay grounded and clear-headed.

You’ve truly made a difference in my life.”
~Laura G

I don’t need to do it perfectly to be successful

“What is helpful is to start changing behaviors slowly.

I don’t need to do it perfectly to be successful.

I can’t change something I don’t notice.”
~Sue R

I feel very supported by you

“Feeling supported has been huge for me, but more specifically I feel very supported by you.

Your style, attention and energy are really inspiring, and I feel fortunate to be part of your coaching crew.”
~Stacy M

Helped me feel more in control

“Planning backwards helped me feel more in control.

I can do small things and actions, and I take credit for the small wins.

I don’t have to do it all.”
~Ana P

Never ever give up on yourself

“I’ve learned that comfort eating solves nothing.

And I keep telling myself, never ever give up on yourself no matter how old you are.”

~MaryEllen J

I‘m able to maintain my weight

“With your help, I’m in a better state of mind and I‘m able to maintain my weight.

I have good tools and better habits in place, and I have several of your insights and questions in my head.”
~Nicole G

You pulled me out of the hole I was in and met me where I was

“I don’t feel super ashamed and I don’t feel like a failure.

I learned that self control doesn’t have to be hyper vigilance, and the grays are a fine place to hang out.

You pulled me out of the hole I was in and met me where I was.”
~Claudia Z

In the past I’d try something for a day and then move on

“Being able to focus on one try or one experiment a week made a difference.

Listening to my body’s signals really helped.”
~MaryJo B

I learned that overeating is symptomatic of emotional eating

“I look at overeats differently. I learned that overeating is symptomatic of emotional eating, which is the real problem, not the calories.

I was looking for ‘the thing’ that would work, and I tend to hand over my power, and now I see it as partnering with people or methods that offer options and support.

I am not having urges between my planned meals, and no matter how strong a compulsion to eat my kryptonite foods, I always have the power not to.”
~Clelia B

More honest with myself

“I’ve been much more aware of overeats and more honest with myself.

I’ve challenged my ‘need’ for more food and cut back on the amount I’m eating.

Because I do an assessment with you almost daily, I feel like I’m staying focused and can make choices because of that.”
~Kathi G

Meeting myself with compassion

“I learned to deal with ‘missing the mark’ with compassion, rather than anger at myself.

When I miss the mark there is usually a good reason, and uncovering it brings relief.

I remembered the power of recognizing my thoughts and not reacting.”
~Janet A

I can support myself in the moment

“I’m moving and doing again. I can recognize the discomfort as temporary and normal, and I’m not making it a personal assault to my worth.

I can comfort myself in the moment and support myself through, and I’m not looking for exits anymore.”
~Kara H

No more self sabotage

“I’ve been shifting from ‘I always sabotage myself’ to a more neutral thought where I experiment with my boundaries.

I’m focusing on the fact that my weight loss has never been linear, and it’s the overall trend that matters.

The past does not dictate my future. My choices are what dictate my future, and that has been a game changer.

I went to NYC, followed a reentry plan, and didn’t gain any weight.

After a six month stall, I have recently lost around 10 lbs, and I truly believe I can take 10 more off.”
~Megan N

I’m giving myself grace

“I’m finding compassion for myself and giving myself some grace.

I’m more consistently making and sticking to my plans, and I’m stopping the negative thoughts before I get to a really dark place.

‘The story I’m telling myself is…’ has helped me and my loved ones communicate better.”
~RaeNell L

Our calls are so valuable

“The thought about relief eating being an attempt to stabilize after a significant change in state makes a lot of sense.

The idea of “Rebel-Me” being my friend and not my enemy is mind blowing to me.”
~Susan D

Easy to grasp and practical application

“You’re quick at seeing what to describe and help me with ways around my areas to learn.

You do it in a way I can grasp practical ways to apply it, and I’m learning every week how to handle what’s not going right.”
~Laura V

Letting go of all or nothing

“Before coaching, I was feeling really stressed and all or nothing, and I didn’t feel like I could do this.

I have seen myself actually give myself some grace, and I look for ways to take care of me.”
~Crystal H
