I am 66, married 44 years. The last 15 years I have been overweight and a heavy drinker.
I drink to drown my demons. Sleeping was impossible. 3 hours and I’m wide awake.
Last year my doctor told me I had to lose weight or die. I weighed 110 kilos and my blood pressure was 220/160.
I started intermittent fasting, but I didn’t give up the booze.

After 4 months, I had lost 10 kilos but my blood pressure was still 190/160. Still too high so the doctor put me on pills.
In April I quit drinking, but I still couldn’t sleep. I needed help.
So off to the local gym to find a tough trainer to kick my arse and help me.
Todd had all the right letters after his name, so I made an appointment and we “chatted”
He could see there was more going on in my head than just weight loss. He talked about his program. I didn’t need any of that extra stuff, I was just “fine”…

Ha! After my first session with Todd I was crying happy. He asked questions about what was really going on for me, he took the time to understand. I didn’t realise how messed up I really was in my head. He helped me understand what was going on up there, helped me find ways to let go of old stuff, take on good stuff, realise that I was my own worst enemy and what I could do to turn that around.

After 3 months I am losing weight, getting stronger, confronting my demons and putting them to rest. More than that, Todd has helped me with my sleeping disorder. 6 to 7 hours a night now. I can dream.
I no longer sabotage myself. I can deal with my problems. I am a much healthier woman. Most importantly, happier. And all it took was reaching out and giving a little bit of trust.
 

P.S. my blood pressure is now 120/78
