So I asked the question “What is the first thing you need to do when you want to lose weight?” to my private Facebook group (which if you want to join in search “Women Over 40 Lose Weight and Ditch Diets” over on Facebook) and I got a lot of really good different answers but there is only ONE thing you need to FIRST do to be successful in losing weight for good.
Welcome to the Shape It Up Over 40 podcast!
I am your host, Nicole Simonin and I help women over 40 lose weight for the last time.
I have been in the weight loss business for almost 2 decades and there is always some new diet coming out (which by the way they are not really any new diets. They just keep tweaking the old ones and putting a new spin on them).
They all have the same principles:
Restrict certain foods or times of day.
Set up complicated rules that you must follow.
And once you stop the diet you will gain all the weight back and then some.
I know you think it needs to be complicated and hard…you are a high achiever. If something comes easy to you it’s like you didn’t earn it. But what if you were wrong?
What if weight loss could be flexible, simpler and actually enjoyable?? Would you think it would work??
For women who are deep in dieter’s mentality, you will think what I said is impossible “There is NO way I can lose weight eating whatever I want and only doing certain activities…I have to be strict with myself or I’ll never lose the weight”.
How is that working out for you?
Have you lost the weight….PERMANENTLY??
And if you have… are you BLISSFULLY HAPPY eating and doing what you are doing??
I am going to guess you are not.
Because if you were loving the way you were losing weight you would not be listening to this podcast.
Working with me, you will learn how to eat all your favorite foods and still watch the inches drop.
You will get a customized workout program that incorporates fun activities that you love and ways to build your muscles and bones so you can live independently as you age.
Understanding why you keep sabotaging yourself and never have fully succeeded at permanent weight loss is the BIGGEST part of working with me. This is the mindset coaching. This is where you will learn so much about why you do what you do. Why you keep losing then gaining the weight back…it’s not the food or the workouts that are sabotaging you…it’s the way you look at the whole process.
I know you are tired of seeing the scale go up and down and then really up again…I know you are fed up with the strictness and the mind games while you are trying to lose weight.
It does not have to be this way!
Clients come to me frustrated… frantic about food…micromanaging everything they eat…confused because they think they are doing everything right but the weight is just not coming off! Then they work with me and in 6 months they are loving the way their body looks and feels….relaxed around food…they are comfortable eating their favorite foods and not worrying about gaining the weight back….they have clarity on exactly how to lose the weight and understand how to keep it off no matter what is going on in their life.
I want you to know this is possible for you too! If you want to work with me go to ShapeItUpFitness.com/call and schedule your Discovery call today!
