Bo Changed My Life

Barb Murphy Memphis, Indiana

Not sure how to start but here it goes....

Here I am, a 40+ successful business woman. A woman who after years of marriage and raising two boys I’ll say, I’ve put on more pounds than any of us ever care to admit. And like most women my age I’ve tried it all…. The Fad diets, the quick fixes, the juices, the so many days of this and so many days of that, and even the magic celebrity pill. Finally, my weight reached a point that my Dr. wanted to start testing my Thyroid, and hormones and whatever else to try and explain why. Once all of that came back normal I was advised to see a “health coach”! Know what he told me??? “Ma’am, you’re stressed. And unless you find a way to reduce your stress you will continue gain weight” REALLY?? I’m STRESSED?! Nooo. I have a fulltime job, I have one son in college, the other getting ready to get his driver’s license, a husband, and home to take care of. Needless to say the health coach was of little help.

I was talking to my friend and she told me that I should reach out to Bo and see what he could do to help me. I was like OK, but I don't really see the point. Aren’t all health coaches the same??

I contacted Bo and we talked about general things… what I did for work, kids, fun, activity level, diet etc... He honestly seemed interested in ME. He told me I can get the weight off, I just have to be willing to work on WHY I put the weight on in the first place, otherwise it will never stay off. He told me that he works on the total person. Physical, Mental and Emotional. He also told me it would not be a quick fix. That he believes in taking it slow so it becomes part of my lifestyle and not a DIET. He told me it would be work and that I would get frustrated, but if I worked with him, together we would figure it out. This is what sold me on BO. He was not selling a quick fix, overnight success, or empty promises. As a matter of fact he wasn’t selling me anything. He was truly honest and sincere of what it was going to take and that he would help if I REALLY wanted it.

"What is the worst thing that will happen if I take 30 - 60 minutes for myself a day?" "Will someone die? Will someone starve? Will the world come to an end?" When it is put to you that blunt, you realize that you can find that 30 -60 minutes.
After a very detailed and honest conversation about my lifestyle, eating habits, activity level, and work schedule to name a few, Bo let me know it would take a good day for him to create an all-around plan JUST for ME.
To say that Bo has changed my life is no understatement. He will tell you that I changed my life, as I am the one who did the work and he just provided the tools. He is very humble in the role he plays in inspiring me to want to achieve my goals and become the person I want to be inside and out.

Understand, I was no typical case, I was only taking in between 800-1000 calories per day and GAINING weight. So the eat less move more that is a typical response was not going to work. I kid you not, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack when he told me I needed to up my calorie intake. (SERIOUSLY?!? I was like you have to be kidding. I am gaining weight with as little as I eat now!) That is when he told me I hired him for a reason and I needed to trust him.

So reluctantly I increased my calories and started to add 35 minutes of cardio to my day. Boy was I surprised when I had more energy and started to feel better. Since I would weigh 2-3-4-5-6 times a day (don’t judge me), and of course as much as we ALL want results the MINUTE we make a change we are often disappointed when we don’t see it INSTANTLY, I had to remind myself it’s not an overnight fix. Bo informed me that stepping on the scale was not the only way to see my success, that I am not just a number on the scale. He told me I needed to take pictures and measurements. I really panicked then. I HATE pictures of myself. And who wants to take measurements?!?! Again with the trust factor….he told me I would not thank him right away (duh), but to give it a couple weeks maybe even months down the road and I’d thank him for having me do it because of the difference I’d be able to see.

He sends out questions for me to think about and reflect on so I know what my true goal is, why I really want it and am I willing to work for it. Talk about taking a good look at yourself! I am not one to open up to too many people yet somehow he has made it effortless. It didn’t take long for me to see and feel that he was honest about wanting to work on me as a whole and not just the exterior that others saw or what I saw in a mirror. We have weekly conversations about me, life, work, and kids. Not just exercise and food. He has prepared me for road blocks that I would encounter before they happen. So I would laugh a little to myself when the situation came up…. like how did he know? But glad he did as i was prepared on how to respond.

14 weeks I have been working Bo. I am not only 23 pounds down in 14 weeks but I have lost 4" off my waist, 5" off my hips and have gained physical and more importantly mental strength. To my surprise I can look in the mirror now and give myself a compliment and not put myself down. I can stop myself before I self-sabotage because that is something I would do in the past. Bo told me the other day, you just seem so much happier from the first time I talked to you. I just laughed and told him how great it was to actually be truly happy and not just putting on the fake happy that people have seen for so long.

I am not to my goal but for the first time I know that I WILL reach my goal.

Bo can continue to say that he has not changed my life and I will continue to tell him he is too humble and that without his inspiration, support and belief in me, I know I would not have gained the self-worth that I now see and believe or felt that I was deserving. I now know and truly believe that I am important and worthy.
I can’t thank Bo enough for being the truly inspiring person he is and know that he truly cares about peoples wellbeing.

He will forever be a lifelong friend as that is how vested he is in people.
