I started working with Sharone when I was seeing numbers on the scale that I had only ever seen when I was 40 weeks pregnant. That also coincided with 2020, so my depression and anxiety were sky high. I felt horribly about myself, and the amount of weight I needed to lose was overwhelming and making other parts of my life difficult. I was so ashamed of my weight gain that I went out of my way to avoid being in photos and I now realize that what I really did was sacrifice documenting a year of memories with my kids. I had tried other diet plans in the past (WeightWatchers, Noom, intermittent fasting, heavily restrictive eating), and would lose weight but gain it (and then some) back. I knew those weren’t going to work and that I needed more support and accountability. This is the first time I’ve had so much success with my weight loss, and I wouldn’t call it a diet. Sharone helped me learn why I was reaching for foods that were not nutritious and pinpoint what was triggering my overeating and I never once felt shamed. We slowly made manageable changes to my diet that have enabled me to acknowledge my wants and feelings without neglecting my needs and goals. Since working with Sharone, I’m back at a weight that I haven’t been at in years, feel healthier and more energetic than I have since my 20s, and recognize myself again. I’m eating more food and have learned to balance fun foods with nutritious food so I can enjoy life while still reaching my goals. My relationship with food has changed, and I have the tools to navigate tricky food situations and set myself up for success. I don’t have “the perfect body,” but I have a body that I’m confident and comfortable in, that takes me on adventures with my kids and carries me through long runs. I can say with confidence that I will never waste my money on any diet program ever again. Choosing to work with Sharone was the best decision I’ve ever made for my health!
