"I had my doubts when I started working with her. I mean, don't we all, when it comes to weight loss. Before this, I had tried so many ways to lose weight and failed so many times, that you just get highly skeptical about everything. But...it was different with her. First of all, I lost weight. Now it wasn't like "oh I lost 100 lbs and I look like a model now." No, it wasn't like that. It was more like I lost however much I thought was appropriate for me! She made me feel good enough that I was comfortable in finding my own weight. I don't know if anyone could grasp that, but that's how I feel and I think that's the key. Second of all, well, I kept it off. And the best part - there is actually no fear that I would go back to the way I was. Now that's a miracle! And I couldn't have done it without Becky and I will continue working with her, not because I am dependent on her, but because it's just wonderful to have someone as brilliant as her to walk through life with!"
"I know my parents care about me, and I feel bad about treating them this way. But they work long hours so I don't see them alot, and when I do see them, all they do is yell at me..for not doing well at school, for waking up late, for my friends...it makes me angry because if you don't like any of this, then why don't you spend more time with me and change it? But Becky made me see things from another angle. She made me realized that I might have been a bit self-absorbed and doing things slightly different can create a whole world of difference. Gosh, she made me write little notes to my parents...(I'm a bit embarrassed)...but I have to admit, it worked! We improved our relationship because we are finally communicating!"
"I never knew talking could be so powerful. I thought I knew everything there is to know about myself...until I try this. And I am thankful that I have. It made me stop making excuses for myself and do something about my life. Life is not about success and failures. It is about trying and experiencing. I was afraid of disappointing myself, but really, what's the worse thing that could happen?? I've decided that the worst thing that could happen is to die knowing that I never tried."
"I think everyone should do this once in their life, overweight or not. I think it is very clever of her to use life-coaching in her sessions, if only more people would make use of this tool. Of course, everyone is always talking about emotional eating. But I don't think anyone has made the connection between eating and thinking as real and straight-forward as Becky has. And once you have this realization, the road to weight loss becomes so much easier. And in fact, I've learned that if you are in touch with your thoughts, you can pretty much overcome any obstacles in life. So it is definitely not just an eating lesson, it was a valuable life lesson. Kudos to you, Becky. And thank you..."
"On the surface, I seemed ok, but there was always something inside of me that is screaming for attention. But never having been trained to listen to myself, I didn't know what it was that I wanted so badly. Talking to Becky has helped me tremendously. I see myself clearly and I have changed my priorities for the better. For once, there's passion and purpose in my life. I feel more energized each day knowing I am working towards something I know deep inside my heart is the one thing I've always wanted..."
"I only went to Life Coaching in the beginning because my parents forced me. I felt like it would be such a waste of time - school work was already killing me! And I thought it was just going to be another one of those things that my parents spend their money on to "fix" me because in their eyes, I've "messed-up." But I've come to enjoy the sessions because I realized that she wasn't taking my parent's side or anything. She made it clear that she is working for me (not my parents) and that she will support me in doing whatever really matters to me. Talking to her is different, because she respects me like a grown-up and the goals we agreed upon are set by me, and not anyone else's and definitely not my parents! I think that's what made the difference! When I started having my own input in my own life, I felt responsible for myself, and I was finally getting results. I was getting better in school and I actually got along much better with my parents."
