Felicia's Journey

Before working with Vicki, I had gained quite a bit of weight in law school and was feeling trapped in my own body. I had lost weight before, after freshman year of college, but it was not sustainable and the whole process was miserable. I was getting winded doing the things I loved and was not feeling happy.

​

Vicki was great to work with because the coaching was totally personalized to me. She pushed me to come up with my own goals and ideas as to how to reach them, which let me develop a plan and a lifestyle that worked for me and my body, rather than trying to fit myself into someone else’s lifestyle.

​

I lost fifty pounds! I feel amazing and had to buy a whole new wedding dress because I went from a size 12 to a size 6. I also feel much better just moving around – I have more stamina and know I can do anything I want to do. My friends and I went on a cruise in May and I was able to climb through underground rivers and explore Mayan ruins without ever feeling like my body was holding me back. Finally, I developed a different lifestyle – I have pretty set breakfasts and lunches now, but they are foods that I really enjoy. I learned that I can have anything I want as long as I just don’t go crazy every day.

​

I feel much more comfortable in my body – this summer I was excited to go to the beach and show it off, rather than being nervous or anxious about it. I have a much healthier relationship with food and exercise now. I know that I have control over my own choices – nothing is off limits. I am able to maintain a positive attitude and ensure that one day of indulgence is a treat, rather than a failure, and then get back to normal.

​

I learned that my body and mind work best if they work together, and they both work better if they are fueled with healthy food and not laden down with too much. 

I am still able to eat and drink the things that I enjoy and I have so much more energy and stamina to do the things I love!
