EVERYONE who has struggled with weight loss should read this.

I asked one of my clients to reflect on her weight loss goal.

The response was incredible so I am sharing here.

These are all her words & EVERYONE who has struggled with weight loss should read this.

‘My overall goal is to lose 14kgs to take me to a healthy BMI.

I did a little journaling around why I want to achieve this and came up with the following:

• I want to feel full of energy

• I want to feel strong and confident

• I want to feel less frumpy

• I want to feel more attractive

• I want to enjoy shopping again

• I want to be clearheaded

• I want to have the confidence to try new things, go on new adventures

• I want to be independent and be able to look after myself when I’m older

• I want to be healthy

• I want to be able to travel and visit my daughters wherever they are

• I want to know that I’m taking care of myself

What I want revolves around how I want to feel and I realise that I can feel these things regardless of my weight.

However, I can’t feel these things if I am not taking care of myself.

Overeating means I feel heavy and dull and have no energy.

Regular strength training makes me feel strong and gives me the confidence to push myself a little further in other areas.

Good sleep makes me less cranky and makes me a nicer person which makes me feel good.

So I guess yes, I want to lose weight for my health but that seems so far off and by setting that as a goal I lose sight of the little things that can make me feel the way I want to feel right now.

Bit of a waffle but don’t know how to put this in words.’
