You’ve heard people talk about a downward spiral – where one bad thing leads to another. You might gain some weight, which may lead to a rise in your cholesterol levels, compounded with increasing sugar levels.  
 
Pretty soon you find it harder to get up the stairs, harder to get around the house, harder to get out of bed. Your breath is shorter, and the climb out of your chair takes longer. Nothing fits you any more, you don’t like looking in the mirror, and you don’t like the way you look.  
 
Now, today is the start of your Upward Spiral. You’ve made the decision to bring about change in your life, starting with your health. As you journey to your goal weight, you’ll realize some benefits along the way. Most people on this program lower their cholesterol, sugar, and blood pressure, and some people reduce their medications.  
 
And there are more benefits – your clothes will start to fit better, or looser. Mobility is easier as you can spring out of the car quicker, walk faster, climb those stairs quicker, get a good night’s sleep, and feeling better all around.  
 
Throughout your journey, I will be with you as your Coach, by your side to encourage you every step of the way. As someone going through the Take Shape For Life Journey myself, I know what you are experiencing.  
 
For those times when you need some extra encouragement or are struggling with something specific, remember, I’m just a phone call away!
