You’re struggling to figure out where to put our attention when it comes to health and fitness. I get it! you've been fed diet culture BS since birth! And let's face it, what worked in our 20s and 30s just ain’t cutting it anymore, we're fabulous ladies in our 40s and beyond, and we've seen it all when it comes to diet culture.

Many of you will be raising your hands, nodding your head, or clapping to this topic and the things we talk about in today’s Fit Girl Magic podcast. You are going to feel heard in this!  This is all about SELF-LOVE or overcoming self-hatred.  How many of us have looked in the mirror and pointed to a body part and said, “Oh, I wish this was a perfect way.”?  Well, guess what... I have someone who has overcome that, and I know many of you are struggling to overcome this. We feel like we take a few steps forward, but something always drags us back into that self-hatred, self-loathing part of us.  So, I want you to really listen to this podcast. Because there is a way out and through this, my recent guest, Rachel Lavin will help you start the ball rolling!  Rachel Lavin is a Published author of The Doughnut Diaries, Professional Speaker, Body Love Coach, Certified Health Coach, and Certified Personal Trainer. When Rachel turned forty, the expression, “I got sick and tired of being sick and tired” hit home and she made a decision to take her power back and heal from decades of negative thinking and self-sabotage. Rachel began to do the work on my mind, body, and soul.  LINKS  Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast:   5 Summer Fitness Mistakes To Avoid: Rachel Lavin Instagram: Rachel Lavin Facebook: Website The Doughnut Diaries: A Personal Trainer's Tale of Being Every Size From 12 Through 0

So many of you come to me and say, “Oh, if I only had a plan I would be more disciplined, I would lose belly fat, I would lose weight, etc..” But ladies…. You cannot always be on a diet! Louder for those in the back…. YOU CANNOT be on a diet forever!  You have to get off of the cycle of starting a new diet, not seeing results, giving up, then repeating the entire dieting process over and over again!  Magic makers... Do you know how many people fall into this category? You’d be shocked because I looked it up and the numbers are INSANE!  By the age of 45 the average woman has been on 61 different diets since the age of 10! WHAT????? This cycle needs to stop, so listen up and see how you can do that!

Self-discipline… I want to talk about this because when I ask people, “What is keeping you from hitting your goals, and what is keeping you stuck?” You say, “Oh girl, if I had more self-discipline, I would be unstoppable!! If I had self-discipline, I would be losing weight, I’d be at the gym and life would be amazing!”   If no one is holding your feet to the fire, it is sometimes tough for you to just keep going. Have you ever noticed that you always want to do much better when someone else is going to check in on you?  If you say you want more discipline, you have to lean into doing things EVEN when we don’t want to. This is how you show up for yourself!  Here are a few ways to master self-discipline so things come more naturally to you, and you don’t need to rely so heavily on that self-discipline getting you to your goals!
