Ep. 24 Christy Campbell - Christy's Story & Finding Your Community

This week, I had a very special guest join me on the show, Christy Campbell! . Christy and I are both coaches who share similar backgrounds, struggles, and journeys. This past weekend, I got to hear her tell her story live in Arizona and then she gave me the amazing opportunity to share mine as well to the event group. With all of that, I knew I had to have her come onto today’s show to share her story with you and give you practical pieces of advice you can walk away with to start your own journey! . In today’s episode, we discussed: . Who is Christy, what is her background, what growing up was like for her, the 10 knee surgeries she has undergone, all of which led her up to who she is today. . Her dieting history, Weight Watchers, MLM shake challenges, SlimFast, excessive cardio, and more. . How a sense of community got her started and kept her going. . How lack of ownership held her back in the beginning - “I felt like I was dealt a bad hand.” . We are willing to put in the work for others, however, we often will not do it for ourselves… at lease at the beginning. . Her first changes in her diet/nutrition that made a huge difference! . Mindfulness tactics she has implemented that has helped her lose the weight and keep it off - basic principles that she uses with her clients today. . How we learn from every diet attempt, even if it didn’t go very well. . Her two biggest pieces of advice for someone getting started. . Don’t eat or drink anything you don’t like… sounds logical, but how often do you? . What a “Fit Me Plate” looks like. . Thank you so much, Christy, for coming onto the show! It was great chatting with you! You continue to inspire me, just like you inspire many others! .
