Tackle my weight problem
I’ve tried so often, over the years, to tackle my weight problem and always got so far and then lost the will or the energy to continue. Working with Anne Marie was totally different. Firstly, there was her personality – positive; informed; encouraging and with a great sense of humour (always a good thing). Secondly, there were no false promises and no quick fix options- everything was laid out on a timeline and I found the combination of learning the how and the why from Anne Marie, coupled with her support and enthusiasm and understanding of human nature, made things seem possible. Thirdly, there was the facility to check in, to ask questions, to say what was and wasn’t working and to find things could be adjusted. Anne Marie’s combination of personal interest and support, the feeling that I was working one to one with someone differed completely from my previous experiences in groups.
I always felt she knew where we were headed, how we’d get there and, most importantly, how to get me onto a road that was sustainable – that was such a bonus for me, knowing this wasn’t a quick-fix but, rather, a change in the way I live and use food. And it’s still working thanks to her support. From the word go, I felt she actually cared about what she was doing and she was as determined as I was to get things right.
