Happy Women's History Month and Happy Social Work Month!

There are many people who only share the end result or the highlight reel of their wellness/weight loss. I honestly believe it is a choice, however, I think it is important to share the ups and downs because holistic health and wellness is so important right now and at the forefront; especially in the Black (Women) community.

My journey has been a rollercoaster. I've maintained a lost of 120lbs and gained so many more benefits for 10 years and currently. I thought it would be fitting to share my journey IN DETAIL; the why and the how of my journey in holistic wellness, during National Women's History Month. Listen to this episode on how my journey started, what I did to get healthy, stay healthy, release over 130lbs, lessons I've learned and how I am doing now. I also provide practical tips on how you can become successful, reach and maintain your healthy lifestyle/weight loss journey.

Are you creating an idol out of your weight loss/ healthy lifestyle journey?

This topic is one that I was hesitant to discuss, however, I think it is important to understand and gain awareness on how our journey in weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle can become an idol. As a wellness coach, assisting clients through their journey and my own journey experiences, I noticed how diet culture and some wellness spaces glorify excessive and extreme measures to lose weight. I am an advocate of having a strong, healthy body and mind so we can better serve in our God-given purpose each day but what happens when we take this concept too far?

It’s not about willpower. Good habits happen when we set ourselves up for success. 

Are you thinking about being more active? Have you been trying to cut back on less healthy foods? Are you starting to eat better and move more but having a hard time sticking with these changes? Old habits die hard. Changing your habits is a process that involves several stages. Sometimes it takes a while before changes become new habits. And, you may face roadblocks along the way. Adopting new, healthier habits may protect you from serious health problems like obesity and diabetes. New habits, like healthy eating and regular physical activity, may also help you manage your weight and have more energy. After a while, if you stick with these changes, they may become part of your daily routine.
