I would lose weight and gain it all back over and over. I had almost given up because why start again if I was doomed to fail again?? And of course I blamed myself for not being strong enough.
Lia taught me that I am an emotional eater who experiences over desire of food. She made me eek out one more tiny bit of hope that maybe I could retrain my brain to make food lose its power over me
She’s been through what I have. And she did it successfully.
She blows my mind EVERY session. EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! ...she gets right to the heart of any problem.
I am retraining my brain!! I’ve lost 69 pounds!
Do you want to really ditch the diet drama?? Lia will help. Working with her is so much more than dieting. She is helping me fix the things I never realized were a part of the reasons I never succeeded before.
I feel like she knows exactly which way to take me on my journey. I appreciate her expertise and talents so much!
Do it! You won’t regret it. It’s hard, and it’s so much work, but it’s totally worth it. She won’t let you down.

When I started working with Lia I was at an all time low in my life. My weight was at its highest and I felt out of control. I would binge on anything sweet, I would eat like I just didn’t care anymore about myself.
I definitely suffered from low self-esteem because of how I looked and what people must have thought (can’t she stick to a diet).
I was at a point in my life where I felt it was NOW or NEVER to lose the weight.
With coaching I don’t feel like I am dieting I still can eat mostly what I want, but with intention and planning. I have to admit it took some time, but with conscious choices, journaling and a desire for change…it works.
After shedding 42 pounds, I feel much more confident, stronger, healthier, happier and in control. I feel like I have entered into a new chapter in my life, a good one.
It is well worth it to invest in yourself and Lia is encouraging, intelligent, and can help guide you to your goals, weight-loss or otherwise.

I had been on the diet roller coaster my entire life. Fighting and angry at my body and feeling stuck in this pattern. I was tired and fed up and knew I needed more. I knew I could lose weight but the weight I really needed to deal with was the mental weight I was carrying so I could let go of the physical weight too.
I knew how to lose weight. I have done it a thousand times in my life. But it always came back because I was not dealing with the underlying issues that led me to put on weight and not be able to maintain weight lose.
What makes me happiest about working with Lia is her honesty and accessibility. She was always there even outside of sessions if I was struggling, she calls me on my s*&t and holds me accountable. She pushes me to question myself and the patterns I am stuck in in a loving and deeply caring way.
If you are considering working with Lia I would tell you to DO IT!!!
It really is different from anything I have done before.

Hey, Lady. I'm Lia Pinelli.
I help badass women ditch the diet drama and lose weight, permanently.
I myself am a badass who struggled my entire life with my weight and my relationship with food.
I've been a serial dieter and guilt-driven exerciser since the age of nine.
You name the diet, I've done it... even had a bout with Binge Eating Disorder when the pressure got serious as an undergrad at UC Berkeley.
But what bothered me most wasn't actually my weight. It was my relationship to food.
Food overpowered me.
I would eat and drink when I didn't really want to, feeling compelled as if I was eating against my own will. And this resulted in a cycle of guilt, shame, and self-loathing. And that shit is exhausting.

So I gave up dieting all together, but the drama in my head continued.
I would still constantly worry about what I was eating, still feeling out of control, and then I would fret about what I ate and plan to "work it off" with exercise, but that never seemed to work either.
And so the cycle continued.

And so the cycle continued.
Until the day that it stopped. Permanently.
What changed was that I learned there was absolutely nothing wrong with me.
That my voracious appetite and cycle of eating and self-loathing wasn't my fault.
I trained as a weight loss coach and acquired the tools that allowed me to have my power back.
Food no longer controls me, I confidently and calmly control it.
And that, my friends, is freedom.
It is now my mission to help other women take their power back from food so that they, too, can ditch the diet drama and spend time on what really matters-- their families, careers, and lives.
