The Extra Fat Will Cling To You- If you don't stop stressing over weight loss..

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 the amount of time and confusion you are sitting in elevates your stress which tell your body to STORE FAT.

What to do instead? 

 Learn from your past - restrictive diets/pills/products do not work long term.  

 Get the basics down (self care, intentional movement and sensible nutrition strategies that you can keep for a lifetime so that you keep your results for a lifetime)
 Work on your mindset. You did not build the thoughts and habits that lead to the weight gain in a few weeks or months. 

You've been practicing them for YEARS, if not decades. 

THIS IS why mindset it the foundation of my Kingdom Fit Method. 

New results require not just New thoughts - but identifying and uprooting the old limiting beliefs and building Biblically rooted beliefs that empower you to build an identity that aligns with the healthiest version of you.  (we talk about this in the 5 day Kingdom Fit Challenge)

 I know you meant well when you followed what diet culture told you to do - you did not know any better.  Here's the truth - OFTENtimes, that long history of diets (losing and gaining - extreme restrictions..) will make sustainably losing weight now tougher. 

What's the alternative, give up? Go back to the same patterns? Then what? 

 Be kind to yourself.  Get the basics down.  Give your body and mind grace.  Steady consistent progress trumps intense and fast every time.  When you jump off steady & consistent, get discouraged and fall into old patterns, you ultimately prolong the time it will take to get the body you want

These were my morning thoughts, shared with heart this is for you and is dead set on calling the enemy out (stinkin thinkin, aspects of society like diet culture). 

I know this is not the sexy answer most women want to hear - I also know - you are not most women. 

✨YOU ARE SET APART, on purpose for a unique and greater purpose✨

Do not let the enemy of discouragement and distraction keep you from BEING all that God has called you to BE so that you can DO, HAVE and GIVE all that He wants for you.
