Weight management continues to be a struggle for most people, even though now we are equipped with more knowledge and understanding of fitness and nutrition than ever before. For many people weight loss does not simply involve balancing physical activity, and food intake. For those who use food to cope with stress and distress, having the capacity to handle distressing emotions effectively is vital to weight management. Counselling and coaching can help you address and understand your relationship with mood and food, enabling you to be in control of your body and mind.

Weight gain can affect our sense of self and how we feel about ourselves. It's important to visit your doctor to rule out any medical reason; it also can involve developing a healthy lifestyle that supports your goals; as I am writing I realize it is not always so simple; can involve past losses, trauma, depression.
