Celeste 40kg Lighter


001(copy)012(copy)(copy)

I was 113kg and I wanted to lose weight. I tried Jenny Craig, Weightwatchers and Body Trim diets but I was unable to stick to any of them. They all worked to some degree but the thought of having to restrict myself like that for the rest of my life was just too much. I was looking for something that I could stick to. To make matters worse due to plantar fasciitis I couldn’t put much weight on my right foot which made it difficult to exercise.

I managed to get my weight down on my own but I plateaued at 92kg. I had heard about Body Buzz and wondered if there was some way I could use the machines without having to stand. During my free consultation I was surprised to find there were plenty of exercises that I could do. Marty worked with me, we made an exercise plan and I felt supported. I joined Body Buzz but it wasn’t long before I lost motivation and quit.

Within 6 months of quitting I had gained 10 kg so I came back to Body Buzz for another shot at it. This time I allowed Marty to help me with a nutrition plan and by December 2011 I had lost 18kg. I have been over weight all my life and I believed that I was just ‘big boned’ so I hung around 81kg for about a year not believing it was possible to get any thinner. Marty explained to me that the ‘big boned’ story is just a myth and that I could be any weight I chose to be. I found that hard to believe but I wondered what it would be like to be 70 something? I decided to take Marty’s advice once again and get my result checks done every 2 weeks whether I thought I had done good or not.  

In 4 weeks I was down to 78.5 kg. For another 6 months I managed to stay under 80 kg…but only just. Every week that I did well would be followed by a week where I would indulge in foods that I craved. Marty told me about emotional eating and self-sabotage. I had heard about emotional eating and I agreed that I was an emotional eater. I knew that if I got disappointed I’d probably go for chocolate but I never really understood why. He said I needed to let go of my self-sabotaging beliefs around food otherwise I would always be struggling to lose weight. I thought “What beliefs? all I want to do is lose weight.” Marty has a special technic for uncovering hidden beliefs and it was then that I began to realise how tangled up my emotions really were with food.

I started to become aware of more and more “emotional eating episodes” and we would deal with them one by one. Sticking to the plan became easier and easier and the results showed. The other day someone said “look how skinny you are.” It’s hard to get my head around. It’s not something I thought any one would be saying about me. I thought I was “big boned” but now I know it’s not true. Now I understand why dieters fail 98% of the time. Normally I would never do something public like this testimonial but people need to know there is much more to weight loss, and this is it. This is how I stay in shape for the rest of my life. This is my lifestyle now and this is what I choose to do. I no longer feel deprived in any way because I’m getting way more out of life than I ever got from food. “No food tastes as good as skinny feels.” I am living by that because it is so true. They are worlds apart.
