Me a Health Coach?

I've felt many emotions since this journey of ours has begun. I have been excited, overwhelmed, terrified, nervous and insecure. For whatever reason and much to my surprise I feel very much led to this decision to become a health coach. I initially joined up only to save on the cost of the program for my husband. BUT as i learn more and more I am more and more impressed upon that I NEED to be a health coach. I am not sure why. I can see how it would make me grow in many ways with the incredible bonus of helping others along the way but I admittedly feel very insecure in how much I can contribute. I still have SO much to learn. I am far from feeling like I have reached my optimal health but I know my feet are at least on the path in the right direction.

I am VERY uncomfortable about the idea of 'selling' myself and this program to others. EXCEPT I KNOW that this program can help so many others and so it lessons the discomfort a TINY bit. I do LOVE to help others. I think that is what entices me the most about this journey. It's that Thom and I could be able to help others get the success and the health that they have longed dreamed for. Thom is now on day 9 and feeling GREAT! I am sure he will post soon with more details. But the thing that we were both concerned was just a myth actually occurred and is real after all. He is no longer hungry. His body has accepted this as a new way of life and is rolling with it beautifully. He is officially in what is called 'fat burning'.  I know this is what is going to work for him and for us. I have full confidence and faith that we were led to this program at the most perfect time. This is the year. OUR YEAR! We are going to become a healthy couple, family and individual and hopefully we are blessed to help others along the way!

I know I have so much more to learn still. I know that this will be so good for me in so many ways. I am going to be pushed out of my comfort zone. Although I really don't like being uncomfortable, I know that with this discomfort will come growth. I am excited to help others by being their health coach. I may not know what it is like to struggle with weight first hand but I do know what it is like to not love yourself. And as we journey toward optimal health that self love that so many of us have struggled with will increase immensely, I just know it. I know I can help others if they will let me. And I am so excited for the opportunities that I am hopeful will come.

It's going to be okay. In fact it's going to be great! I can do this. Thom can do this. We can do this. You can do this.
