I had put on a full stone, and it wasn’t shifting.
Not with good food. Not with regular movement. Not with any of the usual things that used to work.
At the end of last year, I found myself deep in the what-is-even-going-on stage of perimenopause. My hormones were all over the place, I’d decided to come off HRT, and the weight I’d put on was stuck fast.
Fast forward to now — most of the weight is gone.
Not overnight. Not perfectly. But I’ve made progress.
I went back on HRT with some changes, tracked my food intake for a few weeks (which I hate doing, but it helped), cut the late-night toast binges, and stayed consistent with exercise — not because I love it, but because I know why I’m doing it.
There are still days I feel tired. Some weeks are better than others.
But I’ve learned a few things along the way, and I shared them all in this week’s email.
Hormones, HRT, food, energy, the lot.
If you’re in the thick of it too — I see you.
DM me if you’d like the link to the full email. I’ll send it straight over.
