0:08.4	please go to have-sizeme.com forward slash join. Hello, lovely listeners. Today you are going to get
0:16.7	to hear a wonderful coaching call with Val. Val was struggling with she has the information.
0:23.6	She knows what to do, but she's seeing how she's not doing it. And she's struggling with
0:28.0	planning and snacks and treats. And often I hear this all too often. I feel Val's story is so
0:35.1	universal. So I know as I'm coaching her on this, you're going to hear a lot of things that maybe would be beneficial for you.
0:43.0	But here's what I also know, because I worked with people one-on-one versus sharing this information on the show.
