Can't Please Everyone

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about bariatric surgery and asked that those thinking about it give Health Coaching a try before they go under the knife.  Boy did that get an uprising response from those who have had successful bariatric surgeries!!  They accused me of not doing my research.  They said not everyone can be successful on diet and exercise like I was.  They basically berated me for being insensitive.

And honestly it kept me from blogging because I didn’t want to deal with the negativity or offend anyone further even though what I wrote was from my heart.  But I finally decided that I can’t please everyone.  Nor is my business or my weight loss practices for everyone.  We live in The United States of America and we have the freedom to choose what we can or won’t do to our bodies.  You also have the freedom of choice to read my blog or not.  You can agree or disagree with my point of view and that’s great!  But that is all it is – my point of view and it isn’t going to please everyone.

Those that personally know me would tell you that my whole purpose in life is to help people in the ways that I know how.   My personal journey in weight loss is just that, my journey and where I draw most of my experience from.  I’ve also done tons of research on health, weight loss and fitness, tried many diet and eating plans and many, many forms of exercise.  My training to become a Holistic Health Coach only added more tools to my arsenal of knowledge.  I know what works for me and it may or may not work for you.  All I ask is that you try and see – that’s how I arrived where I am, all trial and error.

One thing I do know is that most of my clients have been successful in one way or another following my recommendations – my rock star is down 16 lbs. in about 3 months.  Another client told me that I’ve helped her more in three weeks than doctors have been able to do in many years.  Her husband confirmed this and thanked me for helping his wife.  She also blogged about it: Read it here http://www.curvesandcarrots.com/1/post/2014/04/why-i-like-running-and-food.html.  Yet another client has been working on some very personal issues and has come a great distance in improving how she handles stress and change (neither of which were dealt with positively before) and as a result her relationships have improved. 

The people that resonate with my opinions and my ideas about health, fitness, weight loss, and overall wellbeing will seek me out for more information and guidance.  They are the people I have been put on this Earth to help. 

So go ahead and dislike what I have to say.  You probably aren’t the one I am supposed to help.
