Everyone who reaches out to me has problems and challenges that I can easily show how to fix and help solve with my eyes closed. There are certainly diets with whom you can definitely do cheap (and fast) in the short-term . . . and then cheap (and fast) again and again and again. So, โcheapโ becomes very expensive over time, and โfastโ actually becomes โneverโ.

Good service ainโt cheap . . . and cheap service ainโt good! If your main concern is how much money youโll be spending, youโre not the right client for me.

There are, however, enough drive-through weight-loss programs to choose from, all vying for the next sucker to whom they can sell the same bridge. Thatโs not me.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired . . . and of being overweight or obese? If youโre not, chances are youโre also not going to be eager and willing to do the hard work of learning how to get and stay slim, in which case youโre not the right client for me.

How many more times in your life do you want to lose โalmostโ all of the weight you need to lose?
โฃ
I do understand that sometimes people cannot see themselves at a weight I set, but I see it, and I have been doing this successfully for a very long time. My job is not to get you to a weight that you want to be if that weight is still overweight; itโs not to get you to the โslimmest Iโve ever beenโ if that is still overweight. My job is to get you to the weight I know you must be โ so I can put you through stabilization and maintenance programs to give you the best chance of never being overweight again. If you have 50 pounds to lose but only want to lose 30, this is not the program for you.

If your sole objective is to transform your body into a skinnier pair of jeans (โoutcome goalsโ), and to hell with how you get there (โprocess goalsโ), youโre not the right client for me.

The process of changing oneโs eating and lifestyle habits must include the process of owning up to why you are where you are, taking responsibility for your actions, and taking the โvictimโ and โblameโ cards out of your deck. Both those cards donโt โplayโ well with me. And if you canโt handle hearing โCut the crapโ when itโs relevant, youโre not the right client for me.

My experience is that those who think they โknow it allโ when it comes to weight loss simply because theyโve been dieting forever are also those who are unwilling to be open-minded about a new way of doing things. Theyโre full of โI canโtsโ and โI wonโtsโ in terms of what they canโt do and/or wonโt eat or drink (excluding allergies and medical issues, of course), or wonโt give up. Theyโll throw the money at me and think that because they โjoinedโ the program, thatโs the same as โdoingโ the program. If this is you, save your money. This is the wrong program for you.

My ideal clients, then, are those who:
โฃ
โ
See me as a valuable necessity they respect, instead of a necessary evil.
โฃ
โ
Happily pay me what I am worth . . . because they know Iโm worth it.
โฃ
โ
Appreciate the efforts on their behalf, the tools, resources and accessibility provided along the way, and will tell their friends, peers, and contacts about me.

The most successful clients are those who understand that change is necessary to make progress, and they donโt just want to ๐ค๐๐๐ก change. They really want ๐๐ change.
