Before working with Leanne I had struggled with my weight my whole life. I tried every diet imaginable but nothing worked long term. Leanne has essentially transformed my life, in just 3 months I have lost 15lbs (nearly 7kgs) and still going strong. Im working out 5 plus times per week whereas before I had to drag myself onto the treadmill. I’m loving my body, feeling good about myself and am no longer determined by my weight. This has given me key to being comfortable in my own skin!

What was life like for you before the program?

Before the program I struggled with my weight basically my whole life. I grew up being a pretty chubby kid and was teased for it by my family and other people who were just joking around and well meaning, but I’d really taken that teasing to heart.

I created the story for myself that I was a chubby person and that I would always be a chubby person. I used that story and punished myself for years to try and lose weight and I tried any type of diet imaginable, cutting out carbs, doing the Atkins things, doing South Beach, working out incessantly. I even tried the lemonade and cayenne pepper cleanse and the hormone drops where you eat 500 calories a day and take these drops. And I actually did succeed in losing about 40 pounds one time but over the course of about 6 years I gained all of that back plus 30 pounds.

What made you join the program?

When I found Leanne, it was really at my heaviest weight and I’d kind of hit rock bottom.

I was really fed up with dieting and I was really sick of punishing myself and not feeling good about myself and my body and I knew that there was something else going on. So when I listened to her message the first time about emotional eating, it really hit home for me. I knew that there was something going on internally that was causing me to overeat, to stress and I was also going through a mild depression at the time. So there were a lot of things going on in my life that were keeping me from making the healthy decisions that I needed to make in order to take care of myself and my body.

What did you like most about the program?

I was really surprised and blown away by all of the value and content provided in the course, specifically the work that Leanne does about emotions and getting to the root of why you’re eating emotionally and why you’re allowing that to take over. These techniques that she teaches are just absolutely life changing and can truly be applied in any area of your life, not just emotional eating.

What was your most valuable learning?

The course really taught me how to love myself for who I am.

It taught me that weight loss is not necessarily the product of diet culture and it is not necessarily the product of your life choices as much as it really is taking care of yourself and loving yourself and really making sure that you are finding the deep-rooted issues to the reason why you are emotionally eating.

What has changed day to day for you?

Leanne has essentially transformed my life. In about three months I lost about 15 pounds over the course of the program and am still going strong. I am working out 5 plus days a week now which before if I could drag myself onto to the treadmill it was kicking and screaming!

I have actually transitioned into eating a wholefoods, plant based diet which I never ever would have dreamed of before and it’s certainly not required for the course but it’s something that I just felt like I needed to do and was inspired to do throughout the course.

What has been your biggest transformation?

The biggest transformations that I’ve had aren’t even physical or external, they’re really the transformations of feeling good about myself and loving who I am, loving my body, loving the skin that I’m in. Knowing that this isn’t being determined by my weight or by a number.

How would you encourage someone else to join the program?

The things that you’re gonna learn throughout the course of this program are so much more important than just weight loss. So if you’re on the fence about the program, if you’re considering purchasing, do yourself a favour and just go ahead and buy it because it will change your life, it will change the way that you think about food and your relationship with your body, your relationship with your weight or whatever number you think you need to weigh on the scale, and it’s gonna give you the overall key to really being comfortable in your skin.

I hope that this information has been helpful for you and I’m really excited for you to go through this course and experience all the incredible transformations that I did!
