My Coach-Gloria Ponziano
Marie Macuda-D’Ortenzio has given up her quest of being a perfect size 2. What she wants now is to be healthy, have energy, and to be proud of who and what she is. And with Gloria Ponziano always a close step behind her, she’s well on her way! “Gloria is my personal cheerleader. … I need her! … She has helped me put my goals and objectives into perspective. … She has helped me to realize that, I too, can be healthy! … “
Marie came across Gloria’s business card and phoned her that very same day. “I was so impressed,” says Marie. “I guess she could sense the preoccupation in my voice. She told me that she had some time free, and would be more than happy to talk today. I took her up on the offer. And I thank God that I did!”
When Gloria arrived at Marie’s home, Marie surprised herself talking openly about her difficulties while Gloria listened. “One thing that I will never forget is something Gloria said to me that day. I felt hope for the first time in a very long while. She said, ‘It has nothing to do with doing it right, or for that matter, doing it wrong. The only thing that matters is turning it around and making work for you!’” She has given Marie hope, and a positive attitude to accompany it.
Gloria has taught me a very important lesson. I have learned that being healthy is a sort of all-inclusive package: it entails both feeling good and looking good, in addition to always knowing that you are doing the very best that you can do.” Marie says that she has learned to be “accountable”.
So it seems that Gloria has once again worked her magic, instilling hope where it had been lost.
