One of the things I love about coaching and have discovered through working with clients is that every single one of us has a fire in our heart for something. Our purpose, our goal in our lives is to find it. Discover that fire. What is it? After you know what it is, your mission [...]

You and Only You!
by Cathy on 16. Oct, 2008 in Believe In Yourself!
What makes you you? Each of us is different, but our identity is how we see ourselves. It is a unique combination of values and characteristics that is very similar to many other people, but not the same. For instance, I am a wife, a mom, a weight loss surgery post-op, a life coach, a nature [...]
No to Willpower; Yes to the Power of Your Own Will
by Cathy on 14. Oct, 2008 in Believe In Yourself!
You have happiness within you right now. Being happy isn’t this elusive state that has to happen to you. It is there and has been all along. Many of us think that when we lose weight, we’ll be happy. Then, if we don’t lose weight, we aren’t happy. Happiness isn’t dependent on what we weigh. [...]

Be Your Own True Self
by Cathy on 30. Jul, 2008 in Believe In Yourself!
“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” -John F. Kennedy When we are morbidly obese, we can lose ourselves trying to win acceptance and love from others. We become who others think we should be, act, and lose ourselves. Be yourself. Be your unique, special self. Be the authentic and genuine [...]

Plus, by being your own hero, the outcome is within your control and up to you! Believe In Yourself, [...]
Use Your Voice

Many people that have weight issues suffer from the disease to please. We feel uncomfortable being assertive which, unfortunately, often leads us to be taken advantage of. Dr. Phil often states that we teach others how to treat us. Do you feel as though you shouldn’t say something because you might hurt someone’s feelings or cause them [...]
There’s No One Like YOU!
by Cathy on 08. Jul, 2008 in Believe In Yourself!
Just as we each have our own unique set of fingerprints, no two are alike….same with us as individuals. There is nobody like you. No one can be you better than you can. That’s why it is so important to be yourself, to be true to yourself, to be somebody you can respect and value. [...]
