Fast Track Your Results With A Weight Loss Coach

By Aurelie Appasamy


Hey let me ask you something. Do you have a personal trainer who is awesome, you have been training with this PT for a while now, you notice that you are making some progress, but for some reason you just aren't as motivated as you used to be and you just keep cancelling sessions. Or your PT has taught you all about the benefits of exercise and clean eating guidelines but you just cannot stick to the eating plan. Or you just cannot get over those food cravings and end up sabotaging your hard work at the gym? Or perhaps you have seek professional advice from a trained nutritionist who has laid out an eating plan for you but you just cannot stick to the program. You know that you aren't getting the results that you want and you won't unless your nutrition is right and you struggle with motivation. Your PT tries to motivate you but deep down you know that it's a constant struggle to make it to the gym. Or do you feel guilty or frustrated about not being able to stick to your eating program? One last thing, how is your PT or nutritionist helping your or supporting you though those challenges and most importantly is it working? A personal trainer is trained in fitness and a nutritionist in nutrition. Neither of those guys are actually trained in human behaviour and mindset. But a trained life coach such as Aurelie Appasamy is. Aurelie is a holistic weight loss coach and mindset specialist for weight loss. Aurelie is trained in human behaviour and understands how the mind works. Her specialty is to assist individuals overcome self-sabotage! Self-sabotage is indeed the reason why many people fail on their weight loss journey and without the right help from a weight loss coach many people fail despite the help of a personal trainer or nutritionist.

As a former fitness model, Aurelie has been involved in the weight loss industry and unfortunately currently the system is incomplete. There are three pillars to weight loss. First is nutrition, Second is exercise and third is the mindset. Unfortunately the conventional weight loss system only focuses on nutrition and exercise which is why that approach often provides poor results or the results obtained are sustainable. The mindset is indeed the most important thing not just in order to succeed but to also maintain that success. There is a misconception that having the right mindset is only a matter of staying positive. But that isn't true. In order to create the right state of mind for success you must first obtain a very high level of self-awareness which includes examining your deepest desires, fears, your underlying motivators, your values, the meaning you have assigned to past events. A weight loss coach can help you with the above so that you can finally gain more clarity around your own behaviours.

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

This means that if you feel unfulfilled in an area of your life, it will impact on other areas of your life as well. I am sure that right now you not being fulfilled in your health and body image is also probably affecting other areas of your life, perhaps your relationships, perhaps it's affecting your confidence which in turn is impacting on your career, your finances, your friendships and a whole lot of other things. And if you are not fulfilled in your health then chances are there are other things in other areas of your life that are impacting on your health and that's where everything is stemming from. A life coach helps you examine and look at various areas of your life to identify where the cause of your weight is stemming from and help you deal with that. As a result it's not only with your health that you see improvement but also in many other areas of your life. A life coach can help you achieve much more fulfilment in life.

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 weight loss coach such as Aurelie Appasamy is also compassionate. Compassion comes from understanding a behaviour without judgement. A fantastic life coach is extremely compassionate because she understand and is trained in human behaviour. This is something that many weight loss professionals lack as they lack the ability to dig deeper into human behaviour. Tell me does your personal trainer really understands why you self-sabotage? Does he or she really understands why you don't stick to your eating plan? Why you have those cravings or eat emotionally? The problem is when we are unable to comprehend something, we make assumptions and there are some very common assumptions made in the fitness industry. For instance, if you aren't able to stick to a program, you must lack will power, if you lack motivation to exercise then you must be lazy, if you are overweight then you must be disorganized. These are all common misconceptions and assumptions made which of course isn't true. There is a lot more behind the scenes and a weight loss coach trained in human behaviour knows this. A coaching environment is a safe and judgement free zone, where you can explore freely without being judged and where you do not need to be afraid of making mistakes.
