Bounce Back

He evaded my eyes

I wondered why

Him: “I went back to old habits doc”

He had regained some weight and was obviously beating himself over it

Me:  And you’re here and you didn’t give up: I responded

Please don’t give up on yourself 

You try again 

That’s all

He looked relieved

He had been on a weight loss journey for most of his life

We remain on a journey … everyone of us … we don’t quit because we went back or strayed … we simply redirect

With the right support and tools and with you never giving up on your self … I reminded him!

We talked wins

He had still kept 20lbs off 

And felt better than when he first came in

We talked continued health coaching and maybe more frequently

We talked support systems

We talked medications

We talked mindsets… it’s okay to “fail” you just try again

Conversations continue. For weight loss and other health matters!

Come visit,
