Hi all,
I would like some honest opinions (from coaches, as well!) on what you expect and get from your coach. I see two different ladies; I go on the same day, same time, but never know who I will see. One lady is very nice--weighs me, measures me, we chat, and she will get me what products I need. She never asks to see my food diary, and once I forgot to email her my requests for products and she said, "That's OK, I can get that for you, no problem." The other lady is not so nice--very curt, very short, always rushing me out to get to the other client. Today I didn't have my food diary and she was very disapproving--said I NEED to bring that every time, she NEEDS to see what I am eating, and she could get the food this one time, but I NEED to email my request 48 hours ahead of time. Honestly, I felt like a second grader being scolded by my teacher! I am getting mixed messages from these two, and don't really know what to think! I know I dread going to weigh-ins because I don't know if I will get the "good cop" or the "bad cop".
I am considering just doing this on my own, and ordering the products on the Internet. I am an adult and I don't think I need to be accountable to anybody but myself, because I am my own worst and harshest critic. The drive and determination to commit to this lifestyle comes from inside, not from somebody telling me what I NEED to do.
I would like to hear about others' experiences with or without coaches, especially those in maintenance. I am pretty confident I can continue on P1 without a coach, but I'm a little worried about moving to different phases on my own.
Thanks for any insight!
