Two years ago, I could wear every single pair of jeans in this stack.
Today? Not one of them fits and every time I went to put them on, it was like my thighs all of sudden felt like sausages!😳
Many of you will look at this post and probably not believe me, because I look on the “small” side.
The crazy part? I’m only 3 pounds heavier than I was back then. In my book that is maintained weight. But my body shape and fat has shifted. Thank you post-menopause.🤪
But instead of beating myself up, I’m choosing to continue on my path of loving and nourishing my body and mind with these consistent habits:
✨ I will continue to prioritize managing stress and getting good sleep.
✨ I will continue to eat protein in grams equal to my bodyweight.
✨ I will continue to hydrate with electrolytes and feed my gut with lots of fiber.
✨ I will continue to lift weights to strengthen my muscles and protect my bones. (This one is where I need to get more serious on.)
✨ I will continue to walk in nature as often as I can for the endless health benefits it gives me.
✨ And most importantly… I will KEEP GOING.
This isn’t just about pants that don’t fit. It’s about honoring the version of me I’m becoming—stronger, wiser, more grounded. ✌️
So, if you’re standing in your closet feeling frustrated by a stack of jeans (or bras, or dresses, or anything else that used to fit)... please know you’re not alone.
There are so many actions you can take to gain some control back and feel better —but you don’t need to be perfect.
👖💬 Tell me if you’ve gone through a similar shift — I’d love to know one thing you’re doing to support yourself right now.
