About
Cheryl Dillon
Lighter Coaching was born from my personal pain of trying to lose weight over and over (and over).
Each time I had to try on clothes in a dressing room I felt defeated. It was a reminder of my failures. Then what would I do? Go on another diet or try a new demanding workout.
It would never last and my goals seemed beyond reach.
At the point of telling myself I didn‘t have it in me to do this anymore, I received an email while sitting at an airport waiting to board a plane. I remember so clearly that I had just had the inner struggle over what to grab for breakfast.
You're probably all too familiar with the inner dialogue of what you "should" have vs. what you want. It seemed like such a big decision, yet I can’t even recall what I ate that morning.
My path to food freedom began that day.
It became my passion to share this realization: just as it wasn’t me, then - it isn't you, now! DIET CULTURE has failed us.
And, more importantly, there is a better and sustainable way.
What Makes Lighter Coaching Different?
The approach is completely different from dieting. This is about the psychology of eating. What does that mean? It means the work to be done is relearning how to listen to our own bodies.
At some point, the brain and body disconnected. Maybe it was what we learned from our family as we were growing up. “Clean your plate, there are kids starving in other countries.” Have you heard that when you said you were full, and then powered through and kept eating anyway?
Do you ever emotionally eat? Stress eat?
Or, do emotions ever keep you from eating?
Have you said, “I just want to be a normal eater!”
Lighter Coaching is different because it is less about what you eat, and more about how you eat, how you manage the influence of emotions on your eating habits, and how you can best manage cravings.
Don’t worry! I will give you the tools, including the ability to tap into your sub-conscious, since that is where our habits are routed. Why do all the heavy lifting yourself?
The bottom line is that I am here to help you achieve your goals.
Many times, our Motivation is hating how we look, lack of confidence, and many body shaming comments we’ve endured - even from people close to us with the best of intentions. You May have thought you lacked motivation for this work, when it was simply misguided.
I find it’s much easier to work on a goal from a place of self-love vs. hate. So, we work on that too!
There are five components to my coaching:
1. Ditching diets
2. Creating mindfulness
3. Tools to manage cravings
4. Overcome limiting beliefs
5. Commit to a self-care routine
It is my hope that you will feel lighter through our work together.
“Cheryl has been a blessing. She has given me hope for a better way. She is kind and smart and totally gets it.” - Sharon G.

Dieting strips away our own ability to listen to our body’s hunger and fullness cues.
We develop this all or nothing mentality when we experience being on and off track.
Stop the train, get off that track, and learn to follow your body’s wisdom.
Learn how to identify where cravings come from and how to proactively reduce them.
Build a positive self-image and live a healthy lifestyle. Your body will do the rest.

Exercise should be something you enjoy - after all, you are more likely to repeat it.
Even if you are one who track calories burned, you'll find that you’ll move more if you repeat the behavior, and thereby burn more overall, when you find what you really like. Isn’t that better than what seems like a torturous workout that you don’t stick with?
So, if you are interested in a low impact activity, it could be as simple as a walk with your dog, or a bike ride. Your interests will likely expand once you find activity enjoyable.
I currently hold private cardio drum sessions, if you want to get started with something fun and could use the accountability.
Testimonials
Rich K
“We want to give a HUGE shout out to Cheryl Dillon and Lighter Coaching. In a matter of months, she has helped our daughter find the confidence within herself to get out there and actually enjoy going to the gym. This inspired me as well. If my daughter could do it, so could I. It helped me realize that starting at my pace was better than nothing. If you need a kind hearted person to help guide you, or if you have a teen daughter that needs help finding her inner confidence, please, contact Cheryl.”

“Cheryl is just a ray of light and honestly just “gets it”. She never made me feel like what I was going through was weird or that I was alone. She always makes me feel safe, secure, and always knows what I had to hear in that moment. I genuinely never felt like I was being judged by how I felt. Thank you Cheryl for all your support.“
