The motivation for Sierra Roselyn Health Coaching came from my own personal struggles with weight loss and behaviour change. I was overweight throughout my childhood years, and although I successfully lost weight in high school, I did so in a very unhealthy and unsustainable way. This led me to developing a severe eating disorder that lasted over five years of my life. I struggled with both restricting and binge eating during this time, but ultimately ended up gaining back a lot of the weight I had previously lost. I became desperate to overcome my issues with food and lose the excess weight I had gained, but no matter how much I learned about proper nutrition and healthy weight loss practices, I was never able to consistently implement what I was learning. In other words, even when I knew what to do, I just couldn’t seem to make myself do it, at least not consistently. It wasn’t until I started learning more about psychology and the role mindset plays in weight loss and behaviour change that I was finally able to start changing my habits and overcoming my struggles with food for good. Although it took years of research, self-experimentation, and a formal education in psychology, I was finally able to narrow down an approach to nutrition and behaviour change that enabled me to completely overcome my issues with disordered eating and lose the excess weight I had gained for good. I have maintained my ideal weight for several years now, am healthier and happier than I have ever been, and can confidently say I will never go back to struggling with food or weight again.
