I was listening to a podcast this morning after dropping my daughter off at school, and something really stuck with me. The woman was talking about money and how, in order to get something, you want, you usually have to give something up. Her example was buying a house; you can’t keep eating out all the time or spend your money frivolously on random things. You have to save your money. Something has to change. The same is true for better health and if your goal is weight loss. If you don’t have the results, you want right now, it’s worth looking at your daily habits and asking, what might need to shift? I have worked with women who would invest thousands of dollars into a weight loss program but expected their lifestyle to stay exactly the same. The hope was that I could create the most perfect plan that worked around everything, the chaos, the exhaustion, the lack of sleep, without anything else changing. My program would just magically fit into their unhealthy lifestyle and create the change that they signed up for. BUT that’s just not how it works. You don’t need perfection. You don’t need to give up everything. But you do have to be willing to let go of some habits to make room for new ones. Eating out often. Drinking regularly. Running on very little sleep. Never making time to move your body. These things matter, not because you’re doing anything “wrong,” but because your body responds to what you consistently do. Everyone wants to feel better and lose weight. The hard part is being honest about what needs to change in your current lifestyle to get there. AND if you're willing to make a sacrifice to get it. So, I'm curious what you ladies think about this? If you currently don't have the health or the body that you wish you had, what is something that you feel might be standing in your way and you could sacrifice in order to get it? And is it worth the sacrifice to you? There is ZERO judgement in this question and in how you answer it. I would love to see what you all say.
