When I started working with Laura, I knew I needed a mindset shift. Food was demonized in my mind, and I was always feeling guilty for just eating anything. This awful relationship with food is what I brought to Laura, and she heard every word I said and created a plan that made me feel good about what I was fueling my body with. I remember telling her that I did not want to restrict anything, and so we worked on adding things to my day, like protein, fruits, and veggies. This additive language helped me repair my relationship with food, and I was making sure I was eating enough, not counting calories or feeling ashamed for having pizza. I found that I have much more energy now, which was one of my main goals. Coaching with Laura was different; she didn't try to sell me some "one size fits all" diet, she was receptive to all my feedback and adjusted when necessary, and made me feel really good about my nutritional choices and my body!
