By Affiliate Elise Rubenstein, Health & Nutrition Coach
Elise,
Thank you so much. You have truly changed our lives and for the first time ever I am confident that we will never go back to the old way.
We have always had the determination. We have done this over and over again, with some success and then right back to where we were or even worse.
This time though…..thanks to you and your guidance we have found the right tools that work with our bodies and we finally see results that we can encorporate into our everyday lives forever. And the best part….IT IS NOT A DIET, it is just the way we eat.
As the season of Giving quickly approaches, please know that you have given us the most amazing gift…healthy living, for our son and for each other.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, please also know that you will be at our table in spirit as we give Thanks for the incredible blessing of you in our lives.
Thank you,
Thom and Belinda
Last Memorial Day, I met with Thom and Belinda in a coffee shop in Ocean City. We talked for 1 ½ hours about their goals for their health and their fear of not being able to find a way to lose weight and get their energy back. They had tried every diet and after having some success, could never stick with it. They were thrilled when I told them that when they work with me, there is no diet to follow! So, together, we began their journey of finding their way back to real health.
We met often over the summer, sometimes at a diner, sometimes at the supermarket and sometimes we skyped. Belinda realized that she has a severe gluten and soy allergy and once we removed them from her diet she felt immediately better. Thom was worried about the new foods that I asked him to try and Belinda did her best to follow my recipes and find new ones of her own.
They learned to eat whole foods, Thom loved all the fruit over the summer and Belinda now calls herself, “A Pretty Good Cook”. They have replaced eating out with buying organic meats and produce and are finding that they are still spending less on food. They have even introduced their young son to some new foods, too.
Last month, we met at yet another coffee shop at the beach and they were shrinking before my eyes. Skin glowing, Thom has lost 60 pounds and Belinda has lost 40 pounds and her waist has gone down 5 inches. That’s 5 sizes, girls! Thom is walking on the treadmill most days or walking outside.
It has been my joy to watch them support each other. That is the only way that you can lose 100 pounds together!!! Just amazing. This is the part of my work that I love. When my clients make the commitment to themselves, love themselves and their families enough to do the work and get the job done.
Well done, Thom and Belinda!
