By the time many of our clients have reached The Hungry Heart, they feel like they have tried everything and they’ve had it. The same behaviors that drive us to be successful in parts of our
personal and professional life also lead us to having problems with
food. Why? When there is a problem we will give 150% to resolve it. If
we don’t know how to fix it and don’t accept that we can’t resolve it on
our own, we feel frustrated and stuck. When we feel stuck, we will
often use food to temporarily block out the pain and frustration of not
knowing how to fix the situation. As long as we need food to help us deal with what is emotionally
going on in our lives, it doesn’t matter what diet or program we try
because eventually we will go back to the food. We have to learn to
process our feelings and emotions so we don’t turn to food and use it as
a tool to deal with what is going on in our lives.
All of Stretch U’s locations are currently corporately owned stores or
licensed affiliates. We may decide to franchise in the future and if you
are interested, you can send an inquiry to [email protected].
