“Within the first few weeks, I started to notice changes inside and outside my body! I had more energy, fewer cravings/feelings of hunger that could keep my cardio going longer, and felt my overall confidence rising!”
“I think it’s important to remember that there is no end to this journey, it’s truly a lifestyle change. Thinking of it that way doesn’t allow room for “quitting” — just periods of time where you’re more focused on your goals.”
“Your “why” is the root of your health journey. It’s so vital for those days that maybe the scale isn’t showing your hard work, or when you’re lacking motivation. For me, my “why” began as being able to keep up with my kids.”
“Compare yourself to NO ONE ELSE. You could eat what they eat, sleep when they sleep, follow their same workout routine, and you’d still have different bodies.”
“My brother has a rare genetic disorder that causes obesity, and his weight was getting out of control. My mom and I decided to join Weight Watchers to help my brother and support him during his weight loss.”
“You must be 100% committed if you do keto, you can’t half-ass it! So wait until you are totally ready to give up sugar and carbs. Once you are in ketosis you will not be hungry, you will sleep better, have more energy, and have super soft skin. Which was an awesome perk!”
“Without discipline, you won’t get anywhere. If you are disciplined and consistent even when you don’t feel like it, then that will bring results.”
“I realized that I needed to take care of myself, not just for me but for my children too. I had to set an example and lead by it.”
“If you cave and have a scoop of ice cream, the day is not over. Have a healthy dinner and start again. You don’t have to wait until the next day.”
“Let yourself be hungry. A lot of people eat because they think they’re hungry or bored. Learn to listen to your body and understand what actual hunger feels like. You’ll find yourself eating less often and truly enjoying the food when you do eat.”
