Cleanse for Life!
As you may know I am a Weight Coach and Psychotherapist. My specialty is helping women end their struggle with food and weight. I used to live in a torturous land of overeating and neglecting my health. I spent hours obsessing about how to escape this hell! A few life changes later and by using weight loss coaching tools and a coach I was able to lose weight, drop the mental anguish and adopt a healthy, active lifestyle and the rest is history.
The problem is that in the last year or so, I started to gain weight again. Slowly but surely, it was coming on. Yes, the Weight Loss Coaches’ clothes were getting tight! Not only that, I was exhausted, burnt out and felt like I was in a fog most afternoons. Irritability became my mood of the day, and I felt like I was living like a total fraud. I would drink coffee to wake up and then have red wine in the evenings to unwind. I continued to eat well and exercise although it didn’t seem to make a difference.
My business continued to grow, I would coach women and empower them, many of them working through life long battles with weight and emotional eating. They were feeling amazing, I,on the other hand, not so much. I had good days but for the most part just felt off, not like my usually bubbly self. My biggest fear was that someone would discover that underneath the smile and poised photos on Facebook that I was exhausted, bloated and uncertain.
The hardest part was I was too tired to really play with my girls, and spend quality time with my husband. I wondered how I could grow my coaching business while feeling so physically burnt out. I searched for answers everywhere. I had my adrenals tested- they were o.k, I had a food sensitivities profile done- again I was fine, I tried an Osteopath, meditation, massage, you name it. I did it. I was still not myself.
Then a friend of mine approached me and asked me if I wanted to join her on a 9 day Nutritional Cleanse. At first I declined, stating that I didn’t believe in diets, she went on to tell me it was not a diet but a nutritional cleanse a way to release toxins that have built up in your body, (which BTW can be stored in body fat and fluid). It could possibly help me gain more energy and mental clarity and I would be giving my body the best possible organic nutrition and essential nutrients possible.
I made up my mind to commit to the program with her to see if it really could deliver. I was so excited to feel more energized, alive and to get back to my ideal body weight.
Here’s the scary part for me. Telling you. Yes you, my readers, my clients, my friends and fellow coaches. I wondered if you would judge me or think I was not worthy as a coach anymore. I knew I was taking exceptional care of my health by doing this cleanse but would you understand? Without understanding what’s involved would you look at this as me going on a crash diet! My first thought was hide, keep this to myself. I did not want to show you this vulnerable side of me!
I did a lot of thinking, and released that fear, and jumped in and told the truth. I realized that this was a way to honor my body, not deprive it. I also reminded myself that other people’s thoughts about me are their business, it’s my thoughts that matter. So with excitement and gratitude for this opportunity, I jumped in!
Long story short, I am sitting here, 9 days later, feeling like a 110%. The irritable mood that I was waking up with every morning is gone, my mind is sharp, my energy is high and my husband even commented that I looked younger. Wow, this is a man who doesn’t even notice when I get my haircut, now he is noticing my skin! My 8 year old daughter also commented; “No offense Mom, but you look better then ever!” Another great side benefit was that I lost 10 pounds of body fat, fluid etc. I can see muscle definition that I knew was there but couldn’t see. I feel strong and fit. I am so thrilled that I can now add nutritional cleansing to my life and to my coaching business.
I am going to continue to fuel and cleanse my body I know that I can continue to feel even better! I am sold. If you are interested in learning more about Cleansing please send me an email erin@erinpostle.com or check out this link!
