"As someone who has struggled to maintain a healthy weight and BMI my entire life - childhood through adulthood, I have tried many different strategies to be healthy and fit, and feel good about my body image.
While there is definitely merit to typical strategies - portion control, physical activity, quality food choices - they would only get me so far towards my goals.
If I maintained strict adherence and extreme will power, I would see transformation in my body - inches melt, increased muscle tone, improved blood labs at my physicals for cholesterol, etc. However, these results required extreme adherence - no room for living life, no room for a cheat meal or a cheat day, no room for an occasional treat. This meant preparing double meals - the steamed lean protein and vegetables for myself and a balanced meal that my family would eat, which may include a healthy grain or carbohydrates in a marinade. Not only did I not have the time to create double meals daily, this way of eating deprived me of enjoying the experience of eating. Even as a young adult, the only way to create meaningful change was to practice clean keto. Anyone who's experienced with keto understands it's incredibly effective, but it's not long-term sustaining.
I grew tired of restricting my diet. I grew tired of the relentless food prep. I grew tired of following 'doctor's orders' only to gain partial results and plateau, not meeting my goals.
This is where Mindful Weight and Wellness enters the picture. Tonya understands my experience because she has lived it. She understands the frustration I feel because she has experienced the same. She understands that I want results to match my effort.
Tonya has taken the time to understand my goals, and in turn, has provided me with recommendations to achieve them. She utilizes all of her clinical expertise to create a well-balanced plan customized for me.
Tonya will be a great partner for anyone who is truly on a path to be their healthiest self. She will take the time to understand you and educate you on what is realistic and possible. She will check in on you and encourage you along the way. Any transformation requires effort and focus, however, Tonya is a great resource to make the journey as successful as possible."
