Hey there. At some point in your 30’s or 40’s, especially if you have been on a weight loss journey for years, you may look around and quietly think, this is not where I thought I would be.
Read MoreHey there. If you have been in the same place for a long time, it can start to feel permanent.
Not just physically, but mentally. Emotionally. You begin to believe that this is simply who you are. This is your ceiling. This is your reality. Whether it is your weight, your habits, your confidence, or your life situation, the longer something stays the same, the easier it is to believe it cannot change.
But your circumstance is not your identity.
Read MoreHey there. There is something powerful about the people who support you when you are struggling, not when you have already succeeded.
Anyone can celebrate you when the results are obvious. When the weight is off. When the confidence is visible. When the outcome matches what people expect success to look like. But the people who support you when you are still in the middle of the process, when you are still figuring things out, when the progress is quiet and internal, those people are rare.
Those people matter more than you realize.
Read MoreHey there. When we were younger, people used to ask us where we saw ourselves in five years. It was a standard question. It showed up in classrooms, job interviews, and casual conversations. Back then, it felt like something we were supposed to know. Like if we were thoughtful enough or disciplined enough, we could map out our future and simply follow that path.
Read MoreHey there. One of the biggest misconceptions in fitness, and in life, is that change has to begin with something dramatic.
Read MoreHey there. What is the biggest dream you have right now, and why have you not taken the first step toward it?
Not the practical version. Not the safe version. The real one.
Most people who have been on a weight loss journey for years do not struggle because they lack knowledge. You already know how to eat better. You already know how to move your body. You already know what consistency looks like. You have lived it. You have tried it. You have seen progress before.
Read MoreHey there. There is something that quietly shapes more decisions in your life than you probably realize. It is not your discipline. It is not your knowledge. It is not your plan.
It is their opinion.
Read MoreHey there. Obstacles are not a sign that something has gone wrong. They are a sign that something is happening.
Read MoreHey there. If you are going to obsess over anything, obsess over protecting your mind.
Not forcing it. Not draining it. Not pushing it to exhaustion in the name of discipline. Protecting it so it can actually support you.
Read MoreHey there. For most of my life, I thought fitness was something I had to fix.
Fix my weight. Fix my body. Fix how I looked compared to everyone else.
If you grew up in the 80’s or 90’s like I did, you probably remember being labeled early. Husky. Big boned. Out of shape. Different.
Read MoreHey there. If you have been trying to lose weight for years, maybe even decades, I want you to slow down for a second and really hear this. You are not behind. You are not broken. And you are definitely not bad at this. You are just tired. Tired of starting over. Tired of doing great for a few weeks, then feeling like you fell off. Tired of thinking the next plan is finally going to be the one that fixes everything. I talk to people every single week who feel like they have been on a weight loss journey their entire adult life. Mid 30s, 40s, 50s. They can list every diet they have tried. Keto, macros, Weight Watchers, paleo, fasting, challenges, cleanses, meal plans. They have done everything and somehow still feel like they are the problem. But here is the truth. You are not the problem. The approach is.
Read MoreHey there. If you are going to obsess over anything on your fitness or weight loss journey, obsess over your headspace.
Read MoreHey there. When you connect with yourself at the deepest level and start living outwardly from that place, things begin to change. Not because of luck or timing, but because your actions finally line up with who you actually are.
Read MoreHey there. At some point on a long weight loss journey, comparison stops being motivating and starts becoming exhausting. You are no longer just trying to lose weight or build healthier habits. You are constantly measuring yourself against someone else. Their body. Their progress. Their discipline. Their life.
Read MoreHey there. For a long time, I thought being normal in the weight loss world was the goal. I thought if I just did what everyone else was doing, followed the plans, stuck to the rules, and pushed harder, it would finally work. But what I learned is this. Being normal in weight loss is often what keeps you stuck.
Most of us start the same way. Something triggers it. A doctors appointment. Clothes that feel tighter. A mirror reflection we do not like. A new year. So we decide this time is different. We turn everything on at once. New workouts. New food rules. New schedule. New mindset. And for a little while, it works. You feel strong. You feel focused. You feel like you finally figured it out.
Read MoreHey there. Quiet confidence is not loud. It does not need to prove anything. It starts on the inside and works outward. When I am connected with myself and I trust myself, my mind is calmer. I move at a deliberate pace. I can see what is in front of me and adjust as I go.
Read MoreHey there. I want you to love who you see in the mirror.
Not someday. Not after you lose the next ten pounds. Not after you hit the next goal. I want you to love who you see now.
Read MoreHey there. Most people talk about wanting better. Better health. Better confidence. Better relationships. Better lives. But what they really want is the result without the choices that create it.
Read MoreHey there. For a long time, I thought obsession meant grinding harder. Obsessing over goals. Obsessing over numbers. Obsessing over being better than yesterday. That is what most of us were taught, especially if you have been on a weight loss journey for years.
