Finding the Right Weight Managment Program

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT TIPS

Seven Tips to Choosing the Right One!

By Chat Mills

In August of 2020 I went through one of the most difficult mental road blocks of my life to date. The Covid-19 pandemic was in full force and I was forced to make some serious life decisions regarding my career and my children's schooling. Of course the questions started popping up (I'm sure you can relate!):
Do I need to resign my position?
Are my children going to be safe if I send them to school?
What does school look like if they are home?
Am I going to be safe at work?
What happens if we reduce our income?
Are we going to have to stop seeing people in our bubble?

I was finally faced with making a decision - I was asked to either show up to work or resign. I had never felt such stress before in my life. I was hurt that I was just being let go of; not one hint of "let's see what we can do." I became terrified that the loss of income would hurt us badly and that their ultimatum was forcing me to make a decision I didn't want to make. For the first time in my life I experienced real anxiety. I had my first sleepless nights and my first ever weight gain that didn't include growing a human. 

After everything was said and done and I had come to terms with my situation I decided to trust that what I was about to embark upon was a blessing in disguise and that I wouldn't be in the situation in the first place if I couldn't handle it. 

As time passed and our schedules and routines became consistent I was finally able to take a moment and recognize that I had done some damage to my body and that it was time for a reset. Now the question I needed to answer was how was going to go about doing that? There are so many programs, coaches, and systems out there. You've probably asked yourself these questions before: How do I know that the investment I am about to make is going to work? What makes one program better than another? Should I just choose based on the price? On the reviews? The answer isn't as black and white as "yes" and "no," creating a situation where you overthink and analyze and then nothing happens.
