| 2009-08-04 | Marisa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Lela, Thank you so much... I really appreciate it... I'm sorry that I hadn't thanked you sooner... I didn't know how to express it, what to say... I wish it weren't reality... It doesn't feel its that way... but I'm aware of it... My former doctor and I had worked on it together... But every time I would get out of the hospital I just... I couldn't do it... And then I turned eighteen and I haven't gone back... I'm sorry that I came to you... It just kills me that I'm still eating what I was on my last appointment... I've wanted so to edge back but was fearful of what it could do to my metabolism... If the scale edged up, I wouldn't be able to deal with it.... I wanted to lie on the numbers, I didn't want to mention them at all, but then the answer might not have been accurate... I just hoped in asking it that my numbers would fade out and the lifestyle would be the focus, the metabolism separate from the figure... I just hoped, I just wanted somebody to say that it would not decrease my metabolism and I could proceed ..... |

| 2009-07-14 | Amy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you! I really like the idea of drinking water and waiting 20 min before I snack...much easier! My roommate is the one who keeps the snacks..so this is a good solution rather than throwing them out! |

Expertise
I can answer questions about eating to boost the metabolism and how to work with cravings. As a Health Counselor and a Personal Trainer I can help you line up your eating habits with your exercise for the perfect storm of wellness. I look at nutrition from the view point of Positive Eating as opposed to Dieting. I can help people with eating to fuel workouts as well.
Experience
I have been working to help people lose weight and be more healthy since 2003. I started as a Group Fitness Instructor and have added Personal Training and Health Counseling to my practice. I also work with people online at http://www.LelaSImonWellness.com
