A lot of my young readers and clients have questions about healthy eating and losing weight! I would never put an age on when health and weight loss can start to worry a teenager because I know what it’s like to be that girl! Being young and trying to lose weight in a world of temptation is one of the toughest things a teen can do, but learning while you are young is one of the smartest things a parent can do for their child.
I love working with teenagers on health and wellness, and being the first one in their lives to give them the tools they need to live a healthy lifestyle. Today’s ‘Tuesday Transformation’ is one I am so proud to finally post. The mother of this client took my advice, and had her daughter meet with my mind-set therapist before our initial appointment. She made sure her daughter would not become obsessed with her weight; helping her to start her journey with the right expectations!
In the past ten months I have known this extraordinary girl, I have seen her start on day one with wanting to learn how to eat healthy in a world of junk food. Slowly she tried new foods, new recipes, how to eat while traveling, how to incorporate her favorite foods into her everyday life, and how to use her own body composition to see what exercise would work best for her body type.
At just 5’1, losing over 13 inches and 21 pounds is a huge accomplishment. She also lost 8% body fat while maintaining all of her muscle she worked so hard to build. She took advantage of my program by texting me her food journal daily, and never missed her weekly meetings! She says…
“Prior to working with TheFittChick, I was accustomed to living an active lifestyle. However, I never had acquired healthy eating habits. In the beginning of my senior year of high school, feeling insecure of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in college, I knew it was time for a change. Jillian provided me with a plethora of tools to tackle difficult situations like going to dinner with friends, family celebrations, and vacations. She helped reframe my eating and exercise habits to maximize the benefits and I don’t even feel like I am missing out on all the junk food! I feel so much more informed and ready to live on my own next year! I have never been so happy with how I look and feel and could not be more thankful for the help that Jillian provided me! Thank you Jillian!”
Yes, exercise was a huge part of her program as well. She was on her high school dance team, did The Bar Method three to four times a week, lifted weights, and incorporated fasted cardio into her program as well. There is nothing I didn’t suggest that she did not try! I know her freshman year at college will not be without obstacles, but she is prepared to take on anything that comes her way! (UPDATE: After just 2 weeks at school she says, “I just want to thank you for everything! Going to college, I feel so amazing because of your program! Thank you so much! School is amazing! I am having the best time! Weighed myself this morning and hit a new low!!!)
This client never let her busy life stop her from seeing the results she was looking for. Even with a crazy busy senior year she learned and followed TheFittChick program, and started the summer of 2017 feeling phenomenal!
