CERTIFICATION

In just 4 weeks’ time I feel confident that I have a solid tool box of coping strategies to use for when I start to question or doubt my health and fitness goals. I can honestly say this CBT course has made me analyze my behaviours, thoughts and most importantly food in a very different way than I ever have before.”

Thank you for creating this course. It was very helpful. I have a whole new perspective to the approach of dieting, at one time I looked at it as dreaded journey, but with the help of this course it is more enjoyable. I feel more in control and if by chance I derail, I know not to kill myself but to forgive myself and carry on. I really enjoyed the daily lessons, I found that everyday reading the lessons helped to keep me on track. In the past I often had questions and thoughts that I had to deal with when trying to reach a goal. I found that most of thoughts were mostly negative and self-sabotaging. Through this course I was able to identify when these type of thoughts occurred and I had the power, with the skills that I learned, to change things around. I would defiantly recommend this course to anyone. It's a small change that makes a big difference for life!

LIFE CHANGING! initially went into the 4 week course with only focusing on my binge eating, but I got so much more out of it. The course was the missing link in my body transformation. The tools and strategies that were taught helped me look at my thoughts and feelings in a whole new way. It was so much more than just food that was causing me irritation and discontentment within my life. I really learned how to stop and sit with the thoughts and feelings and become conscious of what I was doing. I learned I am more powerful than I gave myself credit for. I know I can’t change others but I can change my thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend working with CBT MEETS FITNESS. You definitely won’t be disappointed!”

I remember one module wrote "Eating is not the same as breathing" and that struck a serious cord with me. I showed me eating can be monitored and controlled and I won't die if I don't do it every hour of the day or if I see another person doing it. My mindset wasn't there yet when I first read it. Now, I can confidently say I can live in a world with food around me and still see myself as a NORMAL HUMAN BEING. Looking forward to your other courses you have coming up. I find the Binge Eating one very interesting to go through
