Should You Hire An
A Weigh Out Life Coach?

Do you live with any of these nagging thoughts?

• I feel out-of-control with food. I overeat too often!

• I spend too much time thinking about food and/or my weight!

• I know what I'm supposed to eat. Still, I make bad choices.

• I know I'm supposed to exercise more. But, I can't seem to make myself do it.

• I spend too much time obsessed with body hatred.

• I eat when I'm bored.

• I think I'm a stress eater. I know I'm stress eating.

• I eat whenever I want to feel better.

• I'm not sure why I overeat.

• I know why I overeat...and I still can't stop!

• I'm afraid I'm putting my health at risk.

• This makes no sense to me.

• I've run out of diets to try.

• I feel like a failure!
  

If any of those sound familiar, you haven't failed. The diets have failed you!



DIETS DON'T WORK!
All a diet does is take away your food. Our approach is based on the following belief system:

For example, if you are a stress eater, it stands to reason that:

• if you can identify and eliminate some of your life stressors, and

• if you can learn healthier skills to manage the stress you absolutely can't eliminate... Then,

• you'll reduce your stress eating and subsequently reduce your weight...

Change is possible when you know what to change and how to go about doing so.



How Do You Know If
You're Ready For a Coach?

"Coach-able" clients are motivated...

• They really want to learn new skills and are ready to move

• They want to be less obsessed with food and weight

• They're ready to replace stress eating with healthier strategies

• They're excited about putting an end to self-defeating patterns.

• They want to be healthy

• They want to identify and eliminate energy drainers

• They want to feel less "fearful" about choice and change

• They want more rewarding relationships

• They want to improve their overall quality of life

Measuring Success!
Your success with an A WEIGH OUT Life Coach should be measured based on the following:

• You are making "action" plans and following through

• You are eliminating things and people in your life that drain your energy

• You are making healthier food choices

• You're choosing exercise because it makes you healthier (not just because you're trying to lose weight)

• You are reducing the episodes of stress eating

• You feel less body hatred

• You're addressing any/all health issues; your weight may be one of those

• You are feeling less fearful

• You are feeling less like a "victim"

• You're seeing options and making positive changes

• Your relationships with friends and family are improving.

• You're identifying things in life that makes you happy and you're moving towards them

• You're attracting healthier people into your life

• Your finances are now in order (or moving in that direction)

• You're playing more and having more fun

• You're feeling more centered, balanced

All of the above is a Choice! With the support of your Coach, these are choices you can make!



How Does Life Coaching For Food Addiction Work?

Typically, coaching is conducted over the phone, in the privacy of your own home or office.

All of our A WEIGH OUT Life Coaches are professionals in either the behavioral health and/or health and wellness field. Following an introductory phone call with an A WEIGH OUT staff person, a client is matched with a Coach who has the skill-base the client needs. Client and Coach will then talk. If that goes well, the two will decide to work together.

Coaching Fees
The$250-includes 4-half hour Coaching Sessions per month, intake packet, prep sheets, and Coach's preparation time.

(Clients may choose to do 3-forty minute calls per month or 2-hour long calls instead, whichever length best fits his/her learning style. The Client is responsible for any long-distance phone charges)

Notes
*Coaching is not therapy or counseling. Coaching is appropriate for stress eaters, compulsive overeaters and emotional eaters who do not have this problem to the degree of a diagnosable eating disorder. People with eating disorders should seek treatment with an Eating Disorders Psychotherapist.

*Coach/Client match is determined through an initial phone assessment, based on Client's goals.
