Hey there. For decades the fitness industry has been telling us the same thing. If you want to feel good about yourself inside and out, change how you look. That message has been repeated so often that many of us have believed it without question. We have chased weight loss thinking that when we reached a certain number or a certain size, we would finally feel different.

Hey there. One of the most underrated parts of a weight loss journey is the people you surround yourself with. I’m not just talking about whether they support or sabotage you. I’m talking about how they shape the way you think, feel, and show up for yourself. This process can already feel like a mental tug of war, so if your environment is pulling you in a different direction, it can make everything harder.
