Hey there. I want to take a moment to talk about something that matters more than a number on the scale. Perspective.
This morning in my Inner Circle video, I shared the story of a friend who had one of the warmest personalities of anyone I’ve ever known. She had this calm, grounded outlook on life that made you feel like everything was going to be okay. She passed away from cancer not long after her diagnosis. And it really hit me. Not just because of the loss, but because of the reminder that so much of what we stress about every day just doesn’t matter in the way we think it does.
If you’re working on weight loss, I get it. It feels like everything sometimes. You want to look a certain way. You want to feel a certain way. And that number can become the focus of your entire day. But let’s step back for a second. That process, as long as it may feel, is such a small part of your life. And while it's important, it’s not everything.
Fitness and nutrition are tools. They help you show up better in your life. They help you have more energy. They help you build confidence. But the number on the scale? That’s not the finish line. It’s just one point in a much bigger picture.
What I really want for you is to be able to pause, even when things feel tough, and look around at what matters. Think about the people in your life. Think about the things you want to do. Think about how your habits are helping you build a life that you actually enjoy.
You don’t need to wait until something devastating happens to gain perspective. You can choose to have it right now. You’re lucky to be able to work on yourself. You’re lucky to have today. And I hope you can take a breath, appreciate that, and carry it with you as you move forward.
Because when you get to whatever your goal weight is, if you haven’t figured this part out, it’s not going to feel like you hoped. But when you start living your life with more intention and gratitude now, everything shifts.
If you’re ready to build habits that support your life, not take it over, I’d love to have you join The YLF Experience. Let’s build something that works with your perspective.
