Safyaaa had always struggled in her relationship with food. She had difficulty with controlling her consumption of sweets and would then restrict to punish herself.
Her cheat meals often became cheat days. Because she felt like it was her only chance to eat certain foods, she would eat to the point of pain. Even though she didn't label foods as good or bad it was hard for her to know when she was physically full and she had some foods she saw as triggers or led to fear of binging. After her show, she ate even though her stomach was hurting. She felt miserable and was ashamed. During her second prep, she was already anticipating what she would eat after her show. She felt her food focus was out of her control and decided to reach out to me to avoid the cycle repeating. She completed the FREE 8 day program and then went to complete the 5 week Food Relationship Healing & Discovery Program. With her commitment to the process, willingness to ask questions and try new things, as well as her intentional action taking each day, she has achieved so much of what she wanted for a healthy relationship with food. She now feels satisfied after her meals and can acknowledge when she is feeling physically full. She no longer has to avoid foods she used to binge on and understands the importance of intention around eating. Safyaa is now empowered to pursue her goals in every season with a new outlook, more trust in herself, and the tools needed to support her through any challenges that may arise. I am so grateful she trusted me in her journey and I hope that if her story resonates with you that you will consider trusting me too...

Kat's 180 Degree in her Relationship with Food that Empowered her to Trust Herself & Prep Again!10/8/2022 Kat's no longer binging or struggling with trigger foods and has felt empowered to Prep again after completing the 5 week Food Healing and Relationship Journal Program.
As a competitor, she struggled with reversing out of shows, she was binge eating, sneaking food, and struggled with trigger foods. There were foods she couldn't even keep in the house. Once she did the free 8 Day program and experienced success, she knew she could make significant progress from the full 5 week program and absolutely did with the tailored approach considerate of her needs, experiences, and struggles! Play the video to hear her story! She has been able to stop binging and now longer struggles with her trigger foods. She is now in a place where she can have a success prep and reverse again! Her relationship with food has made a "complete 180" and I could not be happier for her!!  When I work with athletes who want to continue competing into the future, the focus is not just on improving and capitalizing on their post show experience with the development of peace of mind but it’s also about setting them up for success while being considerate of future goals
Fostering an improved mindset, approach, thought patterns, and behaviors to support their relationship with food, their body, and their goals in ANY season allows us to then create an environment within you that can withstand and face any environment outside of yourself In the case of Audra, she really committed to this process not just when we were working together but she has made a conscious daily effort since then which has been awesome to witness as I love seeing the long term journey of people I’ve worked with (although we all know the credit is all to them, not me as the clients actually have to do the work) She has been able to prove to herself over and over again now, that she can have success on and off of prep while keeping her mental health in condition too If you want to learn how to make peace with food and your body image without sacrificing your physique goals, I’m your go to girl You can learn more about the work I do, qualifications, background, and the signature program that has helped hundreds of competitors at www.celestial.fit/foodfreedom
Shannon committed to doing the inner work day in and day out to understand her emotions, triggers, behaviors, and beliefs
She went from post-show blues, comparing herself to others who were reverse dieting, binge eating, negative / maladaptive coping mechanisms and stress response to peace with food, more insight into her decisions, and strategies to support her long term goals and needs She didn't know anything outside of the all or nothing mentality and struggled with thinking that she would have to give up on her goals as a competitor in order to find peace with food, her body, and her goals. Shannon had been given advice to step away or give it up or take approaches like the all in method but it didn't sit well with her She wasn't sure what the next best step would be but after hearing about my work on various podcasts and platforms she decided to reach out. I am soooo glad she did She is truly a wonderful example of willingness to do the 'hard' work and face the inner demons which ail us. Shannon's commitment to healing and growth was apparent in how she showed up throughout the program and I am so grateful to not just have been a part of her journey and have her trust but also for the time we spent together this past weekend at the team boss bodies retreat If you are looking for support and guidance on developing a healthy relationship with food and your body and want a way to do this without giving up your physique and competition goals, message me or visit www.celestial.fit/foodfreedom for more information :)  My purpose 💖 so proud of my client Ava for facing her darkness and focusing on improving her mental health for herself, her goals, and her life.

3 shifts to make post show (and a bonus ⬇ï¸)
1. Focus on other reasons to follow through on your reverse protocols outside of physique, shows, aesthetics etc Consider other values and roles in your life and how following a program supports you in showing up for those areas or satisfying those values 2. I’ve realized with each post show season and phase I’ve had is that it goes by SOOO fast and the more work you put in the gym or in finding and discovering what foods or recipes work best for u the “faster†it goes By focusing on relishing in each day and what opportunities it brings it helps u to slow down and not rush to the next show 3. Taking time to recognize each day what your goals and commitments are can help you feel that same drive and dig deep energy that comes in prep and which we tend to miss post season 4. The bonus tip. I also find it can help to stay involved in the industry as much as possible like going to shows or attending events and seminars. Simple but worth mentioning🙂 For more support, I created a free mental health series on the post show blues at www.celestial.fit/postshow Which tip could you see yourself using? Maybe you have one you’d like to share in the comments for others to consider?â¤ï¸ðŸ¤— go for it! Want to hear more tips like this? Or have a question or area of support? Let me know! I’ll make more 🤗 I’m super excited for two past clients of my food relationship program who recently accomplished their goal of stepping on stage again.
There are so many times competitors come to me, binging, out of control with eating, criticizing their bodies, doubting themselves and their abilities and wondering if they’ll ever really be able to prep again. Well, imagine how rewarding it is to overcome mental demands of the sport, commit to a prep, utilize all the tools and growth to your advantage, step on stage, and have a great show. These are just recent two stories but there are countless! There’s a reason I say in my Build More than Just a Body mission statement that “I am passionate about changing the industry so that competitors can have fulfilling journeys both on prep and in the improvement season. And that I believe that by prioritizing the inner work and developing a healthy mindset, competitors can have a more fulfilling journey…” When I work with athletes on an individual level, we really uncover what’s going on beneath the surface, establish standards and commitments which serve them, focus on creating a deeper connection to a “why”, and of course the main focus is to address anything personal to them based on their expressed goals, paperwork submitted, and reports made throughout the program. It’s 5 weeks long but it’s intensive for a reason. I could not be happier to see them pursuing their dreams with more ease than ever before. If you’re ready to take that step and work with me, you can visit www.celestial.fit/foodfreedom. You truly are not a lost cause and you can overcome anything!❤️❤️ #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY  The words of my clients are more validating than anything because my service is all about them.
If it wasn’t for my clients trusting me, I wouldn’t be able to do this. I love being a witness and guide in client breakthroughs around food relationship, body image, identity, and overall LIFE! If you’d like to inquire about ways to work with me you can DM me anytime! #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY  If you don’t like the results you’re getting, and you’ve done the best you can to execute, change the process
Your habits make up your life and will be reflected in your results. If you get too comfortable with choices you make, that don’t align with your goals, you’ll be more likely to continue making those choices. Then, when you realize you want to change your behavior, you’ll usually experience some resistance because the behaviors are bringing some sort of value or benefit to your life. Often times, I ask clients “what is the benefit to your self-sabotaging behaviors?” And they’ll say, “there’s no benefit that’s why I’m doing this with you!!” And then we dig deeper and we consider what those behaviors are bringing their life. Usually we find things like comfort, relief, familiarity, community or connection, stability… To which we then must explore how changing the behavior can illicit a similar benefit without too much change or risk. It can be a bit of an experimental process but oooooey how satisfying it is when those patterns begin to shift!! Personally a big pattern I had to shift was not pushing myself enough in my workouts and lifting…but I reverse engineered it and was able to find a way to change that to my benefit. Working through associations that do not serve us can be hard but it is WORTH it You can read tons of stories and testimonials about others who have accomplished their goals because of their shift in mentality and focus on personal development at www.celestial.fit. #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY  The domino effect has to be one of the most rewarding parts of the work I do.
A negative relationship with food and your body image impacts every area of your life right? So wouldn’t healing it also then touch every area of your life? YES! Many of the athletes I work with find that in committing to themselves, they’re better able to show up for others. Amber really doubted if this was possible for her, there were ups and downs in the journey, as expected, and she came out on top!! I couldn’t be happier for her!! 🤗🤗 Those who are willing to be in the discomfort, of any kind, will usually experience a rewarding result. Much like working out, you have to be willing to get uncomfortable with the mental work to experience shifts. Sometimes it feels worse before it gets better but then it clicks and you think, WHY did I wait so long to face this?! I’ve been blessed with amazing clients and community members and people within the industry who refer my services to others and that always means soooo much to me!! So thank you to all of you who do! You are part of the domino effect! You can learn more about the 5 week food relationship healing and discovery program and apply now at www.celestial.fit/foodfreedom #BUILDMORETHANJUSTABODY |
