Why...?

I have been asked several times why I chose to become a Genesis client. I started this program with the goal of becoming a Genesis coach. I learned from a dear friend and Genesis coach that Genesis was quickly growing and they were anticipating the need for more coaches in the near future. In order to become a coach, I needed to experience the program. As I have mentioned, I was familiar with the program and had been curious about the details for a couple years. I would bump into Sheri, my coach now, and drill her unmercifully with questions; I drove her away from the chiropractor's office where I worked and she was a patient with my questions. I was terrified of her but so drawn to her work and the lives she was changing I couldn't seem to leave her alone. But I rejected Genesis because I did not want to think about food as much as the Genesis clients thought about food, I thought I knew what defined healthy eating and how to keep my body in shape and I was one of those who "could eat whatever I wanted." After I had my second daughter I started running and walking, pushing my five year old in the jogger and hauling the baby on my back, skipping meals, trying to get my body back into "shape." My body kind of bounced back but I was frazzled, I was always tired, I never really felt like I was back in shape, everything just felt hard. When I learned of the need for Genesis coaches, it suddenly felt just right. I had realized that there was no way I could think about food any more than I already was and my body needed a break from the frantic exercising and my version of fueling my body. What started as a job search has become one of the most amazing learning experiences. It has also been instrumental in drastic changes in my family, my relationship with my husband and my relationship and commitment to myself.
