I was afraid of being judged and shamed. But I knew I needed to try something different, get outside of my box, and take a leap of faith.

Pounds
Results ARE typical and to be expected with MyBodyTutor. See why at the end of this page.
My life before MyBodyTutor was a mixture of depression, a sense of failure, and low self-worth. I had tried so many different programs to lose weight and was unsuccessful with every one. Deep down, I believed I could never be successful at weight loss.
I was so ashamed of bingeing on enormous amounts of food, including but not exclusive to chocolate, cookies, candy, ice cream, and frosted cake. I believed that I didn’t just do this behavior, but that I was this behavior, that it defined who I was. My mantra was, “I am a failure and I can’t do anything about it. I just can’t.” Nowhere in my future did I see a slimmer, healthier, more active, more fit me.
I tried Weight Watchers, a nutritionist, the Lose It! app, and Noom. All involved daily logging. All largely focused on food but also gave a nod to behavior change. Noom was probably the strongest promoter of behavior change, but there was little accountability and minimal contact with a guide. I ultimately felt in each case that no one really understood or cared, so I was going to just do what I want.
By the time I finally decided I was done with Noom, I was feeling pretty desperate and out of control. I decided to check out the option on the Noom app to work with a coach. That was the first time I considered coaching as a possibility.
It was a scary thought. I was very shy and afraid to be so vulnerable with someone, to expose my ugly self to the scrutiny of another person. But, like I said, I was desperate. The person I chose to check out there I did not like, so I googled weight loss coaching. As I recall, MyBodyTutor was at the top of the list.
I checked out the website and liked what I saw. The program said it could change my relationship with food and had seen lasting results in users. I signed up for the 5-day email preview of the program and decided by day 4 that this was worth a try.
I was hoping for a change in my destructive relationship with food that would result in weight loss, an increase in confidence, a healthier outlook on life, and help in becoming more fit.
Honestly, if I had known the program involved talking to someone weekly, I may have stayed away! I was afraid of being judged and shamed. But I knew I needed to try something different, get outside of my box, and take a leap of faith.
I am happy to say I have lost 60 pounds. I have gained confidence in myself, pride in what I have accomplished, and satisfaction in knowing, “I can.”
I am not compulsive about certain foods any longer because I know I can have them any time. I can make conscious choices about food. I eat slowly and mindfully, enjoying every bite. I don’t cruise around town looking for my next fix. I can wait until I am hungry to eat and stop when I am satisfied.
I do weight training and am more fit than I have ever been. I try things I never would have considered before, like swimming or pickleball. I speak up for myself and take care of myself. I am happy and so proud of myself!
A relationship with a coach has been a huge factor in making changes in my thinking and habits. From a coach, I get feedback on my log: what went well, or how I can do things differently the next time if things did not go so well.
I have learned to pause and consider why I might want to eat a certain food and how I will feel later before making a food choice. I have learned that recovery from an unplanned indulgence is more important than the fact of the indulgence itself.
A coach challenged the thoughts in my head that have been holding me back, most of which were not even true. I learned that a little discomfort can be a sign of growth. Changing the way my brain works makes me feel like a new person, more of the person I was meant to be. I am confident I have the tools to keep my weight under control.
MyBodyTutor is the best investment of time, money, and effort I have ever made. It changed my life and transformed me into someone I could not even recognize at times. It turned me into someone I never in my wildest dreams imagined I could possibly be.
MyBodyTutor changed my “I can’t” into “I can.” I learned that I am human and mistakes will happen. I don’t have to be perfect. It is far more than a weight loss program. It is a mind changing experience that will help you become more of the person you were meant to be.
What did you say to yourself as you were reading Donetta’s story?
It's fascinating when we start to notice our own behavior. Typically, we distance ourselves from that person. We find something they have that we don't. We make them into something other than an ordinary, regular person. Then, we create an excuse for why we can't achieve the same level of success.
The most important thing to realize: Whatever anyone else has done or become, you can do or become as well, with the right support, guidance and accountability.
Here's the best part: I guarantee it or your money back. I sincerely believe in what we offer that much. I know MyBodyTutor will be the last program you ever do or need.
