Instagram post 2236661279334208728_2079668344 Long personal post alert...🚨 The happy face, that can hide a lot! For me, having a positive attitude can have a big impact on my life. It can make me feel happier and make me more resilient. However...reality check, I don’t always feel this way, in fact yesterday was a pretty lousy day for me. I felt overwhelmed, my anxiety levels went through the roof and I felt like I couldn’t tackle anything. These feelings always transport me back to a dark place. Somewhere I never want to be again. I know if I have a negative attitude for a while, it can feel like a massive challenge to turn that around to be a more positive person. With a few mental shifts, I feel better today, not 100% but a lot better than I did yesterday. I had to Recognise that change starts with me. Realising that I actually have much more control of my thoughts and this mental shift is super important for maintaining a positive attitude. Change starts with me, if I can believe something is possible, there’s a much bigger chance that I will make it happen. And if i don’t believe it’s possible? I’m not likely to take any steps towards change and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Knowing that I’m enough and accepting who I am is a big part of me having a positive attitude. I’m not an ultra confident person and never have been, I’m secretly envious of those who are. However they are probably not as super confident as I may think. What they do have in bundles is self acceptance. We all have different things to offer to the world and finding ways to embrace this can help us to move past the negative mindset that usually comes with feeling inadequate about yourself. I try to use Positive affirmations to encourage my mind to recognise that I am definitely enough. Negative thinking is one of the hardest things to change but it’s also one of the most important shifts to make for a positive attitude. If negative thought patterns become second nature, you might not even be aware of just how negative and self destructive your thoughts are. Today I Started my day off right “This is going to be a good day” put me in the right mindset. Continues in comments....
Instagram post 2236299808460969290_2079668344 The realistic approach to weight loss “Christy is friendly, professional and has a realistic approach to weight loss. She and immediately put me at ease during our initial consultation, in which she covered my goals, and then she gave me a weeks meal plan. The recipes were great, and she’d listened to what I said about the food I like, and how I like to eat. So this set me off on the right track. The best thing about Christy’s plan is that it allows you to live and she’s not unrealistic about having the odd treat if you want, or the fact that you might have a “bad” day. She’s great at motivating you to get back on track. I found her to be a great support, quickly answering questions that I had. The Facebook group is good too, for that extra support. Thank you Christy!” Annie Faith. . . . #testimonialtuesday #weightlossplansforwomen #howtoloseweightwell #healthybodyhealthymind #habitchanges #motivationgetsyoustartedattitudekeepsyougoing

Instagram post 2223462789913275917_2079668344 Is this the secret weapon to stop you snacking! Jokes 🤪 Struggling with comfort eating while you’re at work? Deep down, you probably know that you’re not genuinely hungry but you snack anyway. Ready to start breaking the cycle? Are hidden beliefs playing a part? Comfort eating is linked to your emotions If you’re bored at work, feel unappreciated or are having too much pressure piled on you, you may be turning to food to deal with the emotions, for example. It can go a lot deeper than this too, and hidden beliefs can also play a big part. Maybe you’re lacking confidence in your abilities and the anxiety that this creates pushes you towards comfort eating. Or maybe you believe that you have to go above and beyond in your job role and are on the fast track to burnout as a result. Whatever the situation, dealing with these underlying factors is super important for helping you to stop comfort eating at work. Without this, you’re likely to carry on comfort eating. . . I have put together some of my top tips for beating stress eating at work. Follow the blog link in my bio 🤩
Instagram post 2218978528762086598_2079668344 HOW DID YOU GO? We’ve touched on 4 key cravings and how to healthily handle them. Hopefully, you can begin to feel the effects of your changes you are implementing in order to kick those cravings to the curb and live a healthier, more energetic life. Let’s recap on what we’ve covered this week: Day 1 we looked at sugar cravings and the negative health impacts it has on our body. What healthy alternatives did you swap for this week? Day 2 we looked at consuming a little less salt. Have you been reducing deep-fried and processed/packaged foods this week? Day 3 we touched on almost everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure – chocolate. While chocolate can be good for you, it’s better consumed in its raw state to make the most out of its nutritional benefits. Did you have a nice raw cacao chocolate bar? How did it taste? Day 4 we beat the coffee rush by reducing our coffee intake and replaced it with matcha tea. Not only is matcha a natural energy boost, but it’s also a powerhouse of nutrients. Did you have your cup of matcha today? For more of a group approach to getting a grip on your cravings and kick-starting the New Year, join my 30-Day New Year, New You, Kick Start Challenge starting Sunday 12th January. Alternatively, work with me one to one, my plans are simple to implement and they work, it does not have to be complicated and it certainly doesn't need to be this hard. I will guide you every step of the way and be there through the days you feel like giving up or self- sabotaging your efforts because of one night out! I teach about long term changes, so you can manage nights out, weekends away, holidays without the guilt and feelings of undoing all that hard work. Life is there to be lived. It has worked for me and I continue every day to implement these strategies so I can manage my weight and mental well-being all without sacrificing all the fun things in life! It is all about balance! 😘
Instagram post 2218351195562787947_2079668344 Beat the Coffee Rush How did you go yesterday with your chocolate cravings? I certainly hope you are winning and using your cacao sparingly. It is a superfood after all. It’s now time to look at yet another craving that is at the centre of most people’s daily routines. Coffee. Coffee is much appreciated throughout the world. However, there is an element inside coffee that draws people to it like a magnet and keeps them attached—caffeine. Here’s how caffeine works. When you feel low and lethargic in the morning and you take a cup of coffee, it’s not long before you feel “revitalised”. This is due to the caffeine causing our bodies to release the hormone adrenaline. However, there’s a serious downside to drinking coffee that most tend to ignore. After some time, the adrenaline levels go down and you begin to get withdrawal symptoms. Just like that, you are back to where you started. What happens? You grab another cup of coffee to help bring your adrenaline back up again and the cycle goes on and on. This wreaks havoc on your adrenals – which help fuel your overall energy levels. But what if there is a healthier alternative that gave you energy but gave you a nutritional boost too? That’s where Matcha tea comes in. Matcha Tea contains 1/5 of the caffeine found in coffee but still has all the benefits of a natural energy boost. What’s even more amazing, the caffeine is released slowly which means you will not have to deal with the highs and lows. You can buy matcha in powder form – you simply take a spoonful, mix with hot water and drink. If you find it difficult to swap the coffee, then try limiting your cups to one a day and drink a cup of matcha tea to replace that second or third cup you might normally go for. Have you ever had Matcha tea? How many cups of coffee do you have a day?

“I contacted Christy in January at my wit’s end and she was kind and supportive taking me through lots of little steps and explaining “diet” things over the years that haven’t helped me.
