To all my busy mums on a fat loss mission, here are some home truths you need to hear 👇
1. Feeling like you fail every "diet" plan is not because of you. It's because the plan you are trying to follow was not made for you. Most programs assume you have time, energy and a clear headspace. The best systems for fat loss for busy mums are built to work for you on your worst days, not your best.
2. Being constantly in survival mode isn't just "mum life". It means your body is constantly running off high levels of stress, making fat loss super hard. So as much as we need to be high functioning alot, we need to find a nice balance between our responsibilities and our self care. It might mean having a hobby or activity away from the family or enjoying some time out now and again. You cant pour from an empty cup so dont look at looking after yourself as selfish. Its nessasary.
3. Running off snacks all day is stalling your progress. When we are busy, its easier to grab a snack then make a meal. I get it. But what that means is you are grabbing snacks that are not keeping you full, leaving you craving more food and you overeating by more than you actually realise.
4. Excessive cardio isn't your answer to fat loss. The movement that works for you within your lifestyle that you enjoy and can repeat is your answer. Daily movement of any kind is going to help regulate your nervous system so find what's going to fit in your day and prioritise it.
5. Waiting for life to be less busy time is the excuse you tell yourself because you are afraid of failure. The truth is life is never going to calm down, because life with kids is always busy. Instead of waiting another 6 months and being in the exact same position you are now, make the decision to start and take action now. Because your kids want a happier, stronger and healthier mum 🤍❤️
Busy mums dont need more discipline. They need structure, support and a strategy that fits into a realistic life of a mum ✨️
