I would like to give a great big shout out to one of my weight loss clients tonight.
This young woman has only been with me for 3 weeks. In that time, she's been very diligent, and the results have reflected this.
She started out with a BMI in the 24's, which is, of course, a healthy BMI. This young woman has had some problems in the past, and her self-esteem has suffered because of it. I know that I am not the only one out there that can identify with that!
She has an incredibly supportive and loving mother, which most definitely helps, but this is something that this young woman has done for herself.
She has lost 5.1kg in 3 weeks. Is that a big deal? It is when it's 7.1% of your body weight! Those are Biggest Loser-esque figures! From a woman who already had a BMI at the top end of the healthy range.
I see a bigger smile on her face each time she comes in, and her mum inevitably gets teary due to her daughter's success and the smile it brings to her daughter's face. (It's ok, I think it's a beautiful thing).
I am trying to convince my boss to allow me to begin an official Member of the Month acknowledgment system.
Congratulations must go out to Sophie, a 16 year old young woman who has not only lost an incredible 7.1% body weight in just 3 weeks using healthy methods, she has done so whilst withstanding the scrutiny of young colleagues, and has even inspired her 22 year old cousin to come and see me in order to begin her own lifestyle-changing journey.
This post is all about you Sophie. Keep smiling, and continue to grow in strength and confidence. You are a beautiful young woman who deserves to shine.
Sophie, if you are reading this, you are most certainly my Member of the Month!
