I used to eat whenever I got bored. During the first week of the COVID-19 quarantine, I gained 5 lbs! I knew I wasn’t making good choices, but I didn’t know what else to do.

I tried running more, but it just wasn’t working for me. I was feeling fat, unhealthy, and unmotivated.

I joined Patrick’s weight loss training program was surprised at how quickly I was able to make some big changes. I learned how to think of food as fuel for my body, instead of just something to do whenever I’m bored. I don’t “live to eat” anymore, now I “eat to live”.

I’m thinking more clearly, I have a lot more energy during the day, I’m sleeping better at night, and running is easier now than it’s been in a long time! So far I’m down 30 lbs, several dress sizes, and over 4” from my waist and hips.

This program went beyond eating and weight loss for me - I’ve learned valuable skills for overcoming obstacles and making better choices in all areas of my life.

All my life I’ve struggled with my weight. I’ve always been super athletic to try to keep my weight down - I taught aerobics, I ran marathons, I even did two IRONMAN triathlons. I’d lose some weight training for these events, but as soon as the training season was over I’d start gaining it back again.

In his training course, Patrick taught me how to entirely change the way I think and feel about food, and how to create good habits to replace the bad ones.

I’m down 25 lbs so far and I feel really good about myself for the first time in a long time. I have a lot more energy throughout the day, I’m more in tune with the food I’m eating, and I have a lot more confidence about what to eat.

Probably the biggest relief for me is that I don’t have to rely on all the crazy exercise to keep the weight off anymore! I’ve finally learned how to lose weight the right way and I have the tools to go forward confidently.

I joined Patrick’s weight loss program because I had to do something about my stress eating, and I needed help kicking my daily sugar habit.

I would get stressed out and I’d have urges to eat something sweet like chocolate bars or jelly beans. Then I would feel sick from eating too much sugar, guilt would set in, so I’d beat myself up for giving in to the urges and not having more self-control. I call this the “sugar spin”. I felt completely out-of-control.

I enrolled in Patrick’s course and everything shifted for me! Now I’m totally in control of what I eat and when I eat. Overall, I have a much healthier relationship with food.

And I’m finally out of the sugar spin! My sugar cravings are gone now, and I don't miss them one bit! I thought it would be really hard to give up sugar, but Patrick gave me the tools I needed to do it easily.

I’ve accomplished something really powerful in this training course. I have a lot more confidence in myself, in the choices I make around food, and in my ability to continue this way of life going forward.
