In the spirit of the New 12 months, here’s the story of an entrepreneur who produced a business all around the company of excess weight reduction, and is offering other extremely time-challenged and driven people (read through: entrepreneurs) with a custom-made and long term path to their excess weight loss and energy targets.
She is writer, speaker, counselor and executive/lifestyle coach Wendy Darling (no relation to the fictional character, plainly), the founder of Thumbprints Global LLC and creator of the program Loving Your self Lean: Your Physique, Your Lifestyle, Your Way.
I had the opportunity to meet this effervescent coach and entrepreneur at the December CEO Area company growth conference in Las Vegas earlier this month, the place she presented and served as faculty. I promptly renamed her “Darling Wendy” for the stability of the week-lengthy occasion. With her common demeanor, she accepted the impromptu name with a smile.
Darling is a special individual with two graduate degrees in counseling psychology and post-graduate function in conventional management. She was in the midst of a burgeoning 20-plus yr occupation in organizational advancement when the life she as soon as knew took a sharp left turn in the kind of a key accident in 1991. Her existence was spared, even though her recovery necessary numerous many years. On her return to daily life, she discovered new presents that have led her to the growth of entirely new modalities for healing and helping. These days she blends her traditional coaching with a new and keen intuition that tends to make her hugely efficient in assisting all varieties of people – children, mothers and fathers, and yes, fellow executives and entrepreneurs, to attain their seemingly impossible objectives.
These days she is a frequent speaker–a radio and speak demonstrate personality–and has developed and delivered a lot more than 50 applications to a collective audience of far more than 250,000 folks in the 20 years given that her existence changing and miraculous flip of occasions. These initiatives contain the present Loving Yourself Lean plan that offers personal coaching and virtual group sessions to help clients remove the emotional roadblocks that are restricting them from long lasting success. In the procedure she guides customers in the improvement of personalized nutritional and workout/movement approaches that let them to obtain their targets naturally, and in several cases with breakthrough velocity.
For entrepreneurs, the market of fat-loss is massive. By the numbers, ABC Information estimates the following business numbers as of 2012:
$ 20 Billion: The yearly income of the U.S. bodyweight reduction business as of 2012 like books, programs, drugs and fat reduction surgeries.

$ 5,594: Price for a week-extended (6 night) excess weight-loss program at Beau Rivage Palace, a luxury hotel in Lausanne, Switzerland. The plan consists of massages and private training sessions and discourages deprivation.
A January 2013 survey (reported in the February 2013 concern of Client Reports) by the Customer Reviews Nationwide Analysis Nationwide Research Center polled more than 1,300 licensed psychologists about the concerns and techniques they considered vital for assisting consumers lose weight and also be successful in maintaining it off.
The significant problems the psychologists cited have been as follows:
- Comprehending and managing the behaviors and emotions relevant to weight management (44%)
- Emotional eating (43%)
- Keeping a typical exercising schedule (43%)
- Creating suitable meals options in common (28%)
In general, psychologist respondents cited the concerns of gaining mastery more than behaviors and emotions related to eating as key to their clients’ achievement, indicating that these two themes go with each other. Additionally 92% of the 306 respondents who provide fat reduction treatment method inside of their existing practice reported their roles in assisting clientele “address underlying emotional issues associated to fat gain.”
Leader and daily life coach Wendy Darling is the creator of Loving By yourself Lean
These findings do not shock Darling. Her own method is a exclusive program that is straightforward, but can yield important final results for the customers she serves. She addresses the troubles of finding and healing the emotional and psychological blocks that lead to weight obtain (and other unproductive behaviors) at the core of her increasing roster of plans. Her Loving Yourself Lean program is a unique “healing” system, as she describes it: “I assist clientele get to the root of what is causing them to be overweight. When the core interference is removed, excess weight releases effortlessly.” In this respect, excess weight loss programs are individually configured to each and every client. Most normally, they will run 90 days. She runs her the counseling and coaching portions of her practice by way of personal virtual sessions that clients can obtain totally independent of other services or can make use of in conjunction with periodic little group sessions of ten-20 folks. (Even in a virtual setting, the group dynamic can be vital, she says).
The program is not inexpensive, but offers options for strategies that can be custom-made to integrate personal weekly counseling, group on the web sessions, or the two. Darling is capable to provide payment alternatives, she tells me, and is also capable to accommodate the demanding schedules of complete-time organization owners and entrepreneurs, which make up the majority of her bodyweight-reduction clientele. (In addition to currently being very driven and accomplished folks, her customers tend to incorporate far a lot more women than guys, she says, though there are ample male participants, as well.)
For individuals who are compelled by Darling’s pondering and strategy but unable to participate in a total system, she offers resource materials, articles or blog posts, and a routine of live occasions and presentations on her web site at www.lovinglean.com. Interested readers can also download an e book of recipes and resources that she tends to make offered totally free.
As an aside: whilst we have no enterprise partnership together I will be joining Wendy’s first 2014 system, starting January 21, and will report back in potential columns on my ongoing expertise there.
In our interview, Darling and I also discussed the problems of predominantly “manufactured” meals in an industrial and entrepreneurial society, and the problems of discovering adequate time to meet the self-care demands of movement/recreation, loved ones time, and access to sufficient fresh air, water, nutritional diet regime, relaxation and sleep. All of these problems are factors in the capability to accomplish consistent leanness and wellness.
But even deeper than these issues, she confirms, are the problems of addressing and healing the emotional barriers to optimum overall health. When these are mastered, the progress is natural. 1 latest client released a complete of 60 pounds inside of the 90-day system, with relative ease. Another has launched 15 lbs, even by way of the time time period that incorporated Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Even though excess weight-reduction approaches and swift fix applications are rampant, Darling’s encounter underscores Buyer Reports’ findings that point to the need for emotional balance and capabilities at the core of a successful plan. Beyond personalized improvement, for entrepreneurs who are continuing to seek opportunities, the fat-loss industry continues to be one particular of our society and culture’s greatest market place options for firms and services suppliers to fill. What are your own fitness and wellness objectives for 2014, and how do you intend to attain them? I search forward to hearing your thoughts.
