The primary reason, I believe, so many of us are struggling with weight, food and exercise is this: we've set up our self-care and fitness like a marriage doomed to fail, with judgment and distain as the core motivator. This does not work, for marriage, or self-care.

Establishing a self-care or fitness program based on distain or judgment toward the self is counter productive, both to being happy and reaching one's fitness goals. Would you take a spouse you disliked and desperately want to change, with the hopes of a happy, loving relationship? Of course not! Why then would you start a self-care program, a new way of treating yourself, hating your body and wanting desperately to change it, with the hopes of being happy and loving yourself?

I want to help people love themselves enough to take great care of their whole selves, inside and out. There is no relationship more important than the one with the self. This relationship is the most prominent and powerful in one's life and is reflected throughout a person's entire life -- in one's relationships, environment, finances, and particularly in one's self-care. The surest path to lasting fitness is by loving yourself fit.

My intention is to assist my clients in creating fun and easy self-care, meaningful motivation and weight loss success, in healthy and loving ways. Based on the premise that being healthy and fit begins from within, together we can use the "Love Yourself Fit!"® Philosophy to strategize a lifestyle that creates integrity within you and produces the results you desire.
