Fat loss, better body image and self trust: How to have it all with Carissa Ambis

The Diet Diaries

In today’s episode I have an extremely powerful and moving conversation with a former client (and now friend) Carissa Ambis.
Carissa shares her entire journey from being made fun of for being a “chubby” kid to gaining and losing 50-60 pounds multiple times through extreme dieting and exercise to investing the time and energy on herself to finally find a sustainable relationship with food and her body which has resulted in a body weight she feels healthy and fantastic at.
It is an incredible honor to have former clients come on to the podcast because there is nothing more powerful than hearing the story of someone else who has gone through what you’ve gone through.
Here is just a little of what we cover in today’s episode:
—How recognize your own disordered eating and/or exercise
—What you learn in coaching and how it actually creates the change you’ve been looking for
—What self trust is and what it looks like in action
—Carissa’s examples of exactly why we keep doing diets even when we hate them
—How you can work on fat loss and improving negative body image at the same time
I truly hope that hearing Carissa’s story makes you feel less alone and hopeful that change is possible for you too.

If you're curious about what 1:1 coaching is like, click here to schedule a free consult. We'll hop on Zoom so you can share what you've been struggling with and I'll talk through how coaching works so we can decide together if it's the right fit.
I'm also starting semi private coaching pods in early 2024. This is 1:1 coaching alongside 1-2 other women who are going through the same struggles as you. Which makes this an incredible opportunity to get personalized coaching and support from me while experiencing the connection of going through the process side by side with other women. The best of both worlds.
