Coaching Session One with Sybil "I know what I should be eating, I just can't make it happen."
In this episode, Gabrielle speaks to Sybil, a 52-year-old mother juggling 3 jobs, a dog and a chronic back condition. She suffers from low energy and brain fog and wants to get rid of her menopause belly, and, knowing that strength training is important at this age, she wants to start training. But, she explains that even though she feels like she knows what she should be doing, she just can't make it happen.
Gabrielle digs into her diet in more detail and discovers that she eats far too little during the week. Her big downfall is snacking and eating sweets and treats with her daughter - so she doesn't make her daughter feel bad about eating them.
During the conversation, Gabrielle finds that Sybil has a much more powerful goal than simply losing weight, which could give her the motivation she needs to make the lifestyle changes she desperately wants to make. She also suggests Sybil prioritises energy over dieting because until she has more energy, she's not going to be able to manage the extra exercise. Lastly, she asks Sybil to think about her weekend boundaries and dig deeper into her willingness to snack and eat sweets with her daughter.
By the end of the episode, Sybil has a clear action plan and agrees to catch up with Gabrielle again in a month's time to tell her how she's got on. This second session will also be recorded.
