Working with Stephanie has been an invaluable experience. She has motivated me to keep going and provided so much education when I have questions. She helped me understand macros and how they affect my body composition. I was honestly doing well from a calorie perspective before we met, but my macros were off which was limiting my progress. I've figured out that every meal is a chance to make the next right choice for ME. She helped me understand that sometimes that looks like vegetables and cottage cheese, and sometimes it looks like a chocolate chip cookie and that's ok! Learning how to log my food and pay attention to the nutrients in each of those foods individually and as a whole, has set me free from the guilt of indulging in my favorite foods. Outside of the superficial changes in how I look, I also sleep and feel better. I've been able to decrease the use of medications used to treat heartburn which is so nice! I think of nutrition as “all or something” now instead of throwing in the towel after one indulgent treat. I've lost fat and gained strength, but most importantly I've gained confidence both in my appearance and in my ability to make the next best choice for ME everyday. -HAILEE
