I know this might be hard to hear.

And also it must be said because until you understand it you will continue to settle for less than you deserve, less than what you are worthy of and less than the fullest extent of your potential.

We’ve all heard the saying

“When you want “IT” bad ENOUGH you will find/create a way. Until you will find an excuse.”

And then for most women they slip right back into yes BUT…

Sister you are not an exception.

The reason the excuse feels so real is because it’s the story you’ve told yourself for so long, you believe it to be as true as the sky is blue and you no longer question it.

I believe one of the BIGGEST schemes of the enemy (YOUR stinkin thinkin, aspects of society and THE enemy) is the attack on your health and the very body you were given to LIVE ALL that God wants for you.

The reason it is so easy to fall for it is because we fall into the downhill drift of avoidance, normalize & minimize and land in distraction, d...

I trust you will forgive my direct words today.  I feel the need to scream it from the mountain top.

I KNOW your weight loss journey has been frustrating.  

I KNOW you've diligently applied a variety of diets

I know you lost weight and gained it back again more times than you can count.

I know your belly is uncomfortable, frustrating and serves as a daily reminder of how far you feel you are from your goals.

HOWEVER, IF you choose to allow your brain to frantically search for the next diet, the next fast, the next quick fix, the next lose 10 pounds this week, the next treatment (ice baths, infrared, shots, supplements)..

You will ONLY prolong the time it takes to get to your result.

Why? When you are in this heightened state of looking for all these solutions that are outside of yourself and what else can you try or add to get a faster result - you are creating stress that is working against you. 

The urgency of "this needs to come off now", the endless scrolling and google searches and th...

As frustrating as this might sound there is one core principle to losing weight.. energy in vs energy out. 

What complicates it is lack of understanding the energy and when/how it’s assimilated as energy (vs body fat) in a “standard” healthy body let alone YOUR body. 

Same with energy out.  There are plenty of free calculators that will give you an estimate Total Daily Energy Expendeture (TDEE) based on your basic factors (age, height your estimate of known activity)

However what requires more attention is how YOUR body is responding.

You are not a template or a generalization.  Calculators and genral rules of thumb can provide a starting line.  However, you get to also learn to observe how your body is responding and how to tweak accordingly.

Because the generalizations are based on a standard bkueprint design.  YOUR body has changed the blue print in response to a number of factors such as;

👉 your dieting history (yo-yo diets catch up to you and slow your meta...
