"Callum, I've wasted so much money on coaching in the past and just didn't get anywhere. I'm even considering a GLP-1 injection now."
I get DMs like this pretty much weekly.
If you feel like you've tried it all, you are definitely not alone.
And when your weight is impacting your confidence in your relationship, when you flinch anytime your partner tries to touch your waist, when you hide behind baggy clothes in summer trying to convince everyone you're not hot, and you're too scared to step foot in the gym because you're terrified of being laughed at... well, I can see why a quick fix seems tempting.
But here's the thing. I don't think you're eating out of hunger.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say it has more to do with trying to block out negative, painful emotions and having no clear direction.
Which, I'm sorry to be the one to break the news to you, medication won't fix.
Yeah, it might press pause on the problem, but what is your long term plan?
Because equally, I have more and more clients coming to me after stopping the injections, with absolutely no idea what to do when the physical hunger comes back and slaps them in the face.
I get that trusting a coach can be tough, especially if you've been burned before.
It is exactly why I don't tie anyone into long term contracts. I work on a simple 30 day cancellation policy because the results should speak for themselves.
But have you ever actually worked with a coach who specialises in mental health, uses behavioral frameworks like ACT, and truly understands the psychological side of fat loss and what you're going through?
No?
Well, you haven't tried everything then, have you?
If you are ready to stop masking the symptoms and finally fix the root cause, send me a DM with the word "COACHING " and let's have a proper chat about how we can change things for good.
