02 Mar What does Success Mean to You?

I ask this question in the beginning of the journey with my nutrition coaching clients.

Typically I hear a weight # when I ask this question

Success can truly look different for everyone and mean different things to different people

From personal experience success is NOT found

By a # on the scale

A # in your bank account

A job title 

A certain # sq foot house

The car that you drive

The # of parties you attend

While progress should be measurable there are other ways to evaluate progress with your nutrition goals!

You now have more energy to do your job more efficiently

You are more patient in the way you speak to your loved ones

You are able to reframe the positive in situations rather than getting lost in the negative

You speak to yourself more kindly and acknowledge the importance of this

Your sleep is Great

You know how to manage your stress in a healthy way

You have established ways to help you relax that are not in control of you

You understand what foods make you feel great & what works for you

You’re able to honor your hunger and have a flexible approach to your diet

You rock food prep and planning

You don’t have to take unnecessary medication

You are able to feel good in your clothes

The list could go on….!

THIS is what I evaluate with my clients

We have to peel back the layers and elicit emotion to your goals.

Celebrate as we accomplish these milestones & then build upon them.

Because this definition will change! Which is exciting

You don’t need a weight loss goal to have support around your nutrition! 

What are you defining success as in your life?
