WHY I CREATED BODY BY CATHY
The overwhelming response I received after I first shared my story inspired me to share more. So I did. People from all over the world sent messages to me, telling me thank you, that they too, had suffered from bullying, dyslexia and other problems and they too, turned to eating to hide their pain.
For years, I kept my story and my journey private, not out of shame (at least not by the time I bought my first size 8 dress and it fit), but because I didn't think anyone would be interested to hear it. I was wrong. I was so wrong that in response to demand, I also offer motivational speaking to share my story and inspire others to start their transformations.
“I am certain my journey would have been easier with support, proper advice and realistic goals. I got there in the end and I’ve kept the weight off, but it was a tough journey to manage on my own.”
NOT JUST A FAT GIRL'S STORY
My story isn't just a fat one, it's one about overcoming adversity (no matter what form it takes), believing in myself, fighting stereotypes and connecting with other people. When people ask why I continue exercising and why I ask for fruit instead of cake at parties, they don't understand that being healthy is a conscious choice. After I reach each goal, I set a new one. I never stop because I know how good it feels to succeed.
FOR ME, IT’S PERSONAL
A nameless, faceless computer doesn’t fit with health and wellness, yet that’s much of what you see if you dare to Google. You need some passion, some excitement and especially empathy when talking about something as serious as health and wellness. That's what we bring.
My starting point is personal experience (read this article about Cathy to learn more), boosted with advanced degrees in nutrition and weight-loss, completed with sophisticated nutrition and exercise programmes, and secured with coaching at our core—all designed to help you reach your goals.
