Mental health is an epidemic. According to the World Health Organization, around 450 million people currently struggle with mental illness, making it the leading cause of disability worldwide. Mental health affects more than 6.7 million of us. In fact, one in two Canadians have—or have had—a mental illness by the time they reach 40 years of age.
The mental health issues that I am going to address in this Master Course are anxiety and depression. If you have other mental health issues like OCD or PTSD, you will also learn so much.

Turns out you don’t have to change your current brain or body to change. Awareness and being honest with yourself will have huge shifts in the way you treat yourself.
WHY YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION?
My name is Dara and I have dropped 50 pounds of physical weight as a result of me addressing the mental health issues I was carrying around.
After a mandatory relocation to another province (leaving my extended family and quilt besties behind) and my youngest going off to school within 3 months of each other, I found myself in a depression that I never knew was possible for someone like me.
Not only was I depressed but anxiety was a constant companion. I have always used being a workaholic as a coping strategy but then perimenopause came up.
There were so many misconceptions about ‘the change’ that I gained more weight than I have ever been.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME-BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS
One day I was scrolling Instagram trying to numb out and I signed up for 6 free life coaching sessions in July 2018.
From those sessions I learned how to get to the root of my depression and anxiety. I learned how to connect my brain with my body. I started to lose weight as a side effect.
I have lost 50 pounds and kept off this weight since. NOT because I have to stay skinny or thin or be able to wear those size 6 jeans.
I keep the weight off because I work through my struggles and no longer turn to food to HIDE or NUMB OUT or ESCAPE all the STRUGGLES that happen with EVERYDAY LIFE.

YOUR HEALTH IS KEY
I learned how unhealthy my thought patterns were. I learned how often I was hiding because of SHAME. I also saw how often I just didn’t know how to cope and instead of asking for help, I hid behind working more, eating more, and shaming myself more. When I was finally honest with myself I saw how to work through the challenges.

"Since joining Dara's program I have lost 30 pounds but more importantly I have gained so much confidence in myself. Dara has provided me with an abundance of tools to learn how to not just lose weight, but manage my mind, solve my problems more effectively and see the world in a completely different way. I don't feel trapped by old patterns or old mannerisms anymore to cope with my life and I feel truly free, I am learning every time I take a class how to truly Love Myself. Thank you Dara!"

I feel so energized... I get more quilting projects done. I feel more at ease with my family and friends.
When I signed up for my first master course with Dara I wanted to be successful so badly but my whole life felt like one weight loss failure after another. I was convinced I couldn't be successful.
But as I slowed down and learned the basics I can see how much my life has changed. I have lost over 55 pounds in a year. I feel so energized. I don't need my wheelchair at quilting events. I get more quilting projects done. I feel more at ease with my family and friends.

I don't even recognize myself anymore.
Before I came to Love Yourself Thin I didn't understand how I could be so successful with so many other things in my life but weight loss was always a flop. I worked so hard to trying to get it right but I always put the weight back again when I went back to real life. I didn't believe that I could lose weight and live a life I wanted to live. Now I see that I can be trusted to make good food choices without feeling deprived. I am so thrilled to keep the weight off.
