Best Me Yet Results, Christine

Her standout performance did not just come from the number change on the scale. Christine had a couple of moments where she fell off, ate food she wasn’t supposed to, on a day she wasn’t planning her cheat meal. She allowed herself to be upset about it. We discussed the incidents’, and the reality is that at the end of the day, she had learned something. She was understanding what habits she had to break and what kinds of events or emotions cause her to give in.

As the challenge progressed, she got better and better and figured out what the best habits were going to be that she could form and then carry on beyond this challenge. Christine also struggled to see her progress, as so many do. The number on the scale wasn’t necessarily doing what she wanted it to. A very common emotion that many weight loss participants tend to feel. Despite any disappointment, she never quite.

She knew that what she was doing was important for her health, and she was dedicated from the get-go. Toward the end of the challenge when we discussed what she planned to do moving forward, hands down she knew she was going to continue eating this way. She knew that she had created a lifestyle, and she was going to follow that lifestyle. She wasn’t nearly as concerned about the number on the scale as many others are; she wasn’t ruled by what she saw in the mirror. She wanted to be healthy for her family, and she wanted to live a long and healthy life. This is the kind of goal that will hold up over time and allow for long-lasting results. This is what makes Christine a standout participant.

Even though her occasional frustration and road bumps, she never forgot about her goal, and she never gave up; she never wanted to take the easy way out. And by the end of the challenge, she had lost 11 pounds, 9 of which was fat. She did it the right way and she set herself up for success for the rest of her life. Awesome work Christine!
