"Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full!"


"I have had the pleasure and honour of embarking on a great adventure with my new life coach Xenia. Her tools and words of wisdom have suprised me, excited me and have made my soul sing. I thought I would introduce her to you:)"


Xenia:

20 years ago, while making my gazillionth attempt to lose weight,

I went to see an amazing woman who is both a dietitian and psychologist.
I will never forget her words:

“Xenia, all you need to do is eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full”
“What? You mean I can eat CHEESE!??”
My response was pure disbelief!
I did NOT believe her.
It was too simple!
How could you lose weight without depriving yourself?
Impossible!


I was that indoctrinated by diet mentality!

So for the next 17 years indoctrinated I stayed – going on an assortment of diets more varied than a packet of mixed sweets – losing weight – putting it on all again – losing – gaining – losing – gaining – time, after time, after time – again, again and again.


Then l met another inspiring woman who changed my life forever....Brooke Castillo. Her book If I am so smart why can’t I lose weight? with it's awesome tools guided me on my journey.
And there were those magic words again:
“Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full”
I did exactly that.
This time I got it.
And I did it!
And it wasn’t easy.
But I was in charge - not a diet or an external weight loss program.
It was me listening to me.
And it worked!

I lost 20 kg eating what I wanted when I was hungry and stopping when I was full. The freedom was as delicious as a square of dark Lindt hazelnut chocolate!
It’s a journey that beyond weight loss, took me down a road of many changes.
It led to where I am now.


A certified life coach embarking on an exciting new career!

I guess I wasn’t ready to learn a simple lesson 20 years ago.
As the Buddhist saying goes "When the student is ready the teacher will appear"
And as my teacher Brooke would say It was always meant to happen that way.


I hope that when you’re ready, we’ll meet in exactly the perfect way it was meant to be, for you!
