I've realized that the weight loss journey is a hard one to do alone... I managed to lose 70 pounds by myself, but since then I've really struggled to find a plan that really works.
I thought having a partner for the journey would help, so I sought out help. But, everyone I have tried to talk to doesn't seem to really care if I succeed or not.
I've had two personal trainers, both of whom praised me for my attendance and work ethic, but never seemed invested in the questions I asked or the walls I ran into.
I had a metabolism coach for a bit but he constantly rescheduled on me and when he said he would email me the next steps of my plan, they never came until I followed up multiple times.
I tried Noom, but I could never get a thoughtful answer from the coach. It felt very scripted.
The clinic I'm visiting now is more of the same. The nurses get me my medicine and give me cookie cutter answers for the questions I ask.
Please don't get me wrong, I don't think poorly of any these people in the least. I have no right to expect them to see me as a friend or to be so personally invested in me. They have a job to do, and I should and do respect that. I'm thankful for their time.
I have really just been looking for someone to truly genuinely care. Turns out that isn't something money can buy.
My experiences have just left me feeling lonely, so I was just wondering what you folks working in the industry think.
Do you ever feel personally connected and invested in your clients, or do you find it's best overall to keep a professional distance?
