Hi Kylie,
I read your comment on The Age article about counting calories this morning. It struck me as being sensible and compassionate, so I googled you and here I am! I’m ready to be inspired and I’m looking forward to reading more of your site tonight (unfortunately my lunchbreak is nearly over!).
xx Katie.

Thanks Heather! That’s where resetting new inspiring goals & inspiration boards will help. That looks like a great book and inspiring story.

This book is pretty inspiring – not only did Kylie survive a horrific car crash that left her very badly burnt , after grueling hospitalisation, amputation and subsequent rehab she became a motivational speaker for other burns victims AND was an olympic torchbearer (having to run on a still raw “stump” but she was determined and smiled throughout) then subsequently got fit and healthy as she still is to this day from gyming and doing RPM classes.
Your article hit a note with me Kylie – I don’t lack motivation at all – I do 6 days a week of varied workouts and classes no problem – it’s as automatic as showering and cleaning my teeth in the morning – but keeping it INSPIRED and not falling into default-auto-pilot setting once I’m there is tougher.

Thanks for sharing it here too Rebecca. So many women have experiences similar sexual trauma, the statistics are simply staggering. What you’re describing is a pretty classic response to a trauma like this and funnily enough, your weight is a way of protecting you in the short term, while alerting you to the deeper issue. I’m SO HAPPY you have made the decision to make the change and not allow yourself to be the victim of the past anymore. YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN DO THIS!! You can make the change and you will be so much stronger and more compassionate for having come through it.

Thank you so much kylie for a fantastic article and finally one that really helps you to get to the underlying gains. I have only in the last 2 years shared with people that I was raped 11 years ago and so I am still dealing with it.
I also see my weight challenges as a way for me to have a reason to hate myself. I also find that I use food (more junk food) as a form of self harm which of course makes everything go round and round.
But now it is time to STOP and start loving myself for the person who I am. Im not going to be a victim any more.

I don’t know how I found this page but that first story of the lady being raped just took me back to a dark place and I could have been reading my own story. I also was thin then but now am obese. I start diets do really well and then go back to my bad habits.
I think it is time for me to deal with my demons and get me back.

Hey Norma, Thanks so much for letting me know. I am so glad that the questions made you think. They ARE intense. They are meant to be. (Maybe I should add a warning at the start.) I am so glad that it helped you to uncover a secret pain inside, the best way to deal with it and overcome it is to realise the truth of the issue or problem and then process it. If you need any help sorting through what comes up for you, feel free to email me privately. kylie@mymindcoach.com.au

These questions are very intense, I read the first question and processed with myself, It really made me think, I answered with internal dialog, I didn’t realize what was coming next because I allowed myself to only see one question at a time. The third question really got me, I began to cry, I had not cried in so long, but there I was, I was in my office crying by myself and didn’t understand why, but then realized that I had not touched on this issue before, I also realized how much pain I was in. Thanks!
