I know & understand the connections
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first joined Midlife Shift, as this was my first online group program that I had done with Glynis. But it far exceeded expectations! The wealth of knowledge, resources, practical advice & tools were second to none. Every topic proved to be more relevant than the last & tied together perfectly. My main goal was to lose weight, which I fully expected would require strict dieting & endless exercise. The very thought made me miserable! And as an emotional eater, the thought of white knuckling through intense craving for red wine & cheese at the end of a stressful day made me even more anxious. Thankfully, this was not the case. Instead we looked at adding to our diet rather than taking away, & for me, tackling my stress & emotional eating triggers that drive me emotional eating in the first place. My take home was how stress affects sleep & hormones. How they then affect appetite & influence my food choices. How this all impacts my weight gain & mental health. It was fascinating. Now I know & understand the connections, I can actually do something constructive about it, rather than blaming all of my troubles on menopause. I completed this course during the lead up to Christmas. I didn’t restrict my eating. I didn’t do any of the workouts because I hate exercise. Yet I still lost 10lbs, without actually thinking about it & without that destructive diet mentality. I feel happier, more confident, & in control for once. I’m a long way from where I want to be, but this course has been the perfect kick start, & I feel ready to tackle what lies ahead. My advice to you, ‘Sign Up & Take The Course!’ You will not regret it.
