Bonjour, and welcome to another episode of The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault. Today, we’ve got a very important topic to explore—being your own cheerleader! 

Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey, midway through, or already at your goal weight, having someone cheering you on is crucial. I think no matter where we are in life, we could all use the extra support from someone on the sidelines, rooting us on. However, most of us don’t have a coach whispering motivational lines in our ears 24/7. That’s where becoming your own biggest fan comes in, and it's all about developing your internal cheerleader skills. 

Indeed, in midlife, weight loss can feel like climbing a massive mountain, especially with hormonal changes, past dieting mishaps, and health considerations. Your brain loves to remind you of how tough it is. Instead, let’s counteract all the negative talk from the saboteur and make it our job to celebrate ourselves. 

Throughout this episode, I dive into practical tips on celebrating your small wins—those little steps forward that prove you're making progress, and the impact it has. From hitting your step goal to not overeating at a family buffet, it's essential to recognize and celebrate all these moments in your journey. 

And, remember, your opinion is what truly matters in your weight loss journey. I share personal stories and examples to illustrate the importance of standing firm in your own beliefs, despite what others might think or say. So, let’s get into the habit of cheering ourselves on and valuing our own opinions. 

Stay positive, celebrate those wins, and be your own cheerleader. Until next time, keep thriving and keep that positive chatter going. Au revoir et à bientôt! 

“Your opinion is what matters in your weight loss journey. You know what is best for you. Your opinion matters. So listen to yourself, have your own back and please be your own cheerleader. And I guarantee that you will take and keep your weight off.”
