UGH. So Freakin' Sad
 

I just found out that my trainer is leaving me in 2 weeks :( He's moving to Toronto to take on a new job that in all honesty is an awesome opportunity for him. BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEE!!! lol I'm quite literally in tears about this. He was my coach, I felt very comfortable with him and he's taught me so much. It's not easy to open up to someone - essentially a stranger - about your weight/health issues but we've really created a solid relationship built on trust and mutual understanding and it's not going to be easy to start that all up again with someone else.

It's such a shock too, he just got the official "yes" yesterday, so it's not like he could have given me much warning. I know it's crazy but I feel like I'm being abandoned and I don't know what to do!

He's setting me up with a different guy but I won't get to see him until end of August due to vacations etc., so hopefully that works out ok. I've just been on such a roll with my current trainer and I don't want anything to change!!
:(

C'est la vie, I suppose!

People come in and out of our lives and they all have something to teach us. It sounds like you have learned a lot and can take all those things with you. There is no loss here, you'll be fine and you will find new things to love about your new trainer.

I feel your pain!

My trainer also left for a new job opportunity and he was the best! I was apprehensive but my new trainer is turning out to be great too. I'll cross my fingers for you :D

You're not where you were when you started....you have learned a lot and maybe him leaving is actually a good thing (even though it might not feel that way). You might just surprise yourself.
