Many of those who have signed up for my email newsletter and bought my ebook have asked me about the availability of coaching. Trying to stop overeating can be very difficult without ongoing support, accountability and guidance. I get questions every day that are very specific and unique, and while I try to do my best - I generally do not have the time to answer all of them and this is where coaching comes in.
Coaching includes
If you've handled all your overeating issues, then this coaching is obviously NOT for you. However if you've been stuck in a rut, or tried to stop overeating in the past several times without lasting success then this coaching is exactly what you need.
It can be very hard for someone to stop overeating on their own. Even with all the knowledge in the world about overeating, it can be very hard to put that knowledge to practice and to stay motivated. In many ways it is similar to trying to become a professional athlete without a coach and a support staff. This is why coaching can really help you stop overeating.
Here is an email I got from one of my coaching clients:

Hi Andrew
I am back on track and now look at why I over eat rather than how to lose weight and here is my story for which I am happy for you to share.
After being told that I had an illness that had no cure simply treatment I was initially shocked then went into what I call the black period. Although the condition is in no way life threatening, it is painful.
I started to eat to make me feel good, and the good feelings and chocolate especially sweet things made all of the pain go away, albeit temporarily. I started to put weight on and could not exercise so simply lost myself. I ate more to make the pain go and to escape from having to do something about my life. I was in a job that was demanding so I left it and became self employed, this was initially hard, but instead of staying with my feelings as Andrew describes and doing the right thing, I went to all or nothing thinking and thought blow it and ate more.
This went on and 30 pounds heavier and feeling out of control, I felt that I could not face my friends as they knew the thinner me and I was ashamed of my weight. I went up 2 dress sizes and quite frankly did not recognise myself. I stopped all the things i used to enjoy like dancing, running and the gym. I knew something was not right,but, I did not think things were that bad until I asked Andrew for some email coaching and here is what happened.
I outlined my situation by email and did not think anything about it. Being British I expected a nice, polite easy reply. Oh no, was I in for a rude awakening. Here are the words that propelled me into action. Andrew said.......your life stinks!!! that was a total shock. I remember thinking oh my god, yes my life is not nice, I still could not quite say the words stink. Then I had a cup of tea as the British do, in order to digest that phrase. I then got up and looked at myself in the mirror and thought, Andrew is right my life does stink and I need to stop.
After several coaching session of very honest, straightforward and empathetic advice from Andrew I began to feel differently. I established an important point, I went to all or nothing thinking. And this was a sabotage. I looked at why I overate rather than dieting. That simple reframe allowed me to get back in the gym, start to make up with lost friends which was really nice as they did not judge me at all, and finally I joined a slimming club and started to lose weight naturally, eating lots of food, healthy choices and allowed myself to have what I want in moderation. So far I have lost 15 pounds and my life no longer stinks.........................thank you Andrew and for anyone who is overeating and think their life does not stink....think again, it may very well do and it takes a positive and willing attitude to begin to change things from the inside out.

Hi there Andrew,
Your gift is hitting the nail on the head with weight loss…..this is a HUGE nail. I made this mistake for over 20 years….until I stumbled on your website and downloaded your ebook…..this changed my life.
I had 2 coaching sessions with you this past year and I am doing fantastic. I have not had ANY binges like in my past…I AM able to handle over-eating slightly…but I realized that the insane DIETING was my downfall. Last night I ACTUALLY had a small slice of carrot cake for dessert and did NOT binge. I could HANDLE IT! A SERIOUS GAME CHANGER FOR ME….I am so grateful to you.
I am currently enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a professional health coach and take my role as a fitness instructor to an all new level. Because of YOU an the immense help I have gained from your words, I now have the self-efficacy to take my life to the next level, since I have harnessed power over the binge-eating dragon in my life.
Please share my story with anyone you like…
Happy Monday!!!!

From offering different forms of coaching in the past I've found that skype/phone coaching works best. When I'm speaking with you during our coaching it's much easier for me to get the full picture of what's going on with you. Voice tone alone conveys a lot more to me than a long email ever could. This is why I no longer offer email coaching even though many of my newsletter readers still request it. I just know I can help you a lot more if we can speak rather than email back and forth.
If you do NOT have long distance calling or live outside of the US we can do coaching over skype. Using skype's software you can call any other skype user in the world for free. All you need to do is download skype's software and have a mic: take a look at skype's website for more details. Most of my US clients prefer using skype since its basically free long distance.
The frequency of the coaching sessions is up to you, however I've found that one session per week seemed to work best for many of those I coached in the past.
The price for coaching is $50 per 1 hour session. The minium coaching commitment is 2 sessions, I simply cannot help you in only 1 session. Each new client who signs up for phone coaching will get a free copy of my ebook which currently sells for $27. Also for a limited time if you sign up for more than 2 sessions you get a discounted price...

IMPORTANT: Many people have contacted me saying they would like to do coaching yet cannot afford it. I feel like everyone I talk to about the pricing seems to fall into one of two groups....
First group are those who simply just cannot afford to pay for anything at this time, maybe they are students without a source of income right now or are unemployed or have very serious financial struggles. I sympathize with everyone in this group and this is why I spend a lot of time writing and sending out free newsletters and its also why I created the forum which is full of members offering great advice for free.
However those with serious financial struggles seem to be the minority. I've had a lot of conversations with others who said they cannot afford it yet after talking to them I end up finding that they can afford it but just don't think it would be worth their money or would rather spend their money on something else...
In other words they don't feel its important enough or don't see it being that valuable...and here is the best way I can explain it to them...
Think of how much of your time, your money and your life has been wasted as a result of your binge eating issues...
All the money you spend on buying junk food that's mostly empty calories and puts you at a higher risk for getting all kinds of diseases in the future that would cost you even more money to treat...
Think of all the time you waste when you binge eat and afterwards, think of all the time you spend feeling sad and depressed....
Think of all your goals and dreams, all the places you'd like to travel, all the activities you'd like to try, all the things in life you'd like to experience that your binge eating and your body weight get in the way off...
Seriously think about how much of your life you're giving up by being stuck in the cycle of yoyo dieting, binge eating, restricting, losing the weight, gaining it back and the endless repetition of this whole cycle over and over again...
This is why I created my coaching because its the fastest and most effective way I found to help those struggling with binge eating...it's simply the highest quality product that I can offer you...
Now do you still feel the price is too expensive? Do you still feel that your money would be better spent on something else? If you do then please do NOT sign up for coaching because you're obviously not ready for it or don't need it bad enough....
However if you're sick and tired of binge eating and want to get your life back then please don't put it off...coaching takes up a lot of my time and it's very intense. To be honest I don't know how long I'll be able to offer it, so if you're thinking of doing it, sign up now, do NOT put it off...

Terms: All payments are final - there will be no refunds. Since coaching requires a lot of time on my end I cannot offer a money back guarantee. If i did offer a guarantee there are those out there who would sign up for coaching with the intention of asking for their money back even before their first session - such clients are wasting their time and mine and I simply do NOT want to work with them. Since you have been getting my free newsletters you should know me by now and trust that you will get your money's worth. If you need to cancel or re-schedule a coaching session you must send me a notice by email at least 24 hours prior to the start time of scheduled session, otherwise session will count. You will get my email address after payment, since I will contact you to get started. Any unused coaching sessions expire 60 days after date of purchase.
