I did - and that is a regret I have. But perhaps sharing my story will result in someone else having the courage to act earlier than I did! My back hurt for years because of my excess weight. But it didn’t hurt ‘badly enough’ for me to do something about it. I could...

Said in another way if the first 37 attempts didn’t work, chances are unlikely it will be lucky number 38! Diets don’t work. Because it isn’t about what you eat. There is no magic combination of macros and micros or calories or points. If there were you would have...

What people think they are waiting for is the right time. They tell themselves stories like...   I will make a start when lockdown ends, when the kids go back to school, after Christmas, in the New Year, after my birthday, once this big project is done and so on and...

"I may be the villain in your story, but that doesn't make me a villain." – Client On a recent group coaching call a client shared this with me. It has stayed with me for days. (Original source of quote unknown). I’m anxious to publish my memoir. I realise I have...
