The Bigger Body Method

Could you do it?

Could you stick to boring, bland and fu***ng miserable diet for the next 6 months?

Think lettuce leaves, boiled chicken, brown rice

Over

And over

And over again

…I thought not

Wouldn’t it be better if you could eat food that made you do your little happy food dance when you eat it

Or is it just me that does one of those? 😝

When you join you’ll be encouraged to eat food that makes YOU do the ‘Happy Food Dance’

Whilst still focusing on health AND reaching your goals

It’s Friday and those pesky little sofa snacks are calling your name again

Those little buggers get you every week!
Calling out at you from the kitchen
Sneaking their way into your mouth before you even realise what’s happening

I know this not just because it happens to my clients, but because it used to happen to me too

And I’ll be completely honest here, they do still call my name
The temptation is there
I’m only human!

But what I do is a bit different now

And I’d love to share my strategy with you because it helped me to feel more in control and make progress towards my weight loss goal

So here it is!
👇👇👇
(you might want to save this now so you can use it when you need it)

1. Pause
Stop those pesky snack monsters in their tracks and take a moment to notice that you’re having the urge to eat them

2. Ask yourself:
Is this choice moving me closer to or further away from my goals?

3. Take back control and make the choice that you actually want to make.

It’s simple!

Truly embracing legend status this week

It’s not all about big changes all of the time

If you can make some little changes every single day

Stack them up
Collect them like you’re hunting for treasure
Go out and make them happen

The impact of these added up will be HUGE

It’s these tiny moments that get you results

I’m very proud of you

As someone who lives in a bigger body, I know how tough this is

The constant tug of war between

🥰 body positivity - love yourself, be grateful for what your body can do, saying all the affirmations in the mirror

And

🥦 pressure to lose weight - dieting, exercise and trying to shrink your body so that it fits a societal norm

Let’s be honest, you probably find yourself bouncing back and forward between the two, sometimes in the middle and completely confused about how you *should* feel about your bigger body

It’s complicated and I have no answer on how it should be done

But I’m here to help you explore this

I’ve written a blog post that starts to unpick my thoughts on the subject

Message me ‘THOUGHTS’ and I’ll send it over

You get to choose

Always

This is what we do differently within

I’m not going to tell you that you HAVE to do things in a certain way

I’ll give you guidance and help you understand the rationale for why

Then support you to make decisions for how to apply this and make it work within your own life

Whether that’s what meals you want to eat, whether you want to go to the gym or not, and what you want your social life or daily routine to look like

This is a BIG part of how we do weight loss

Every moment is an opportunity to make a fresh choice

And you get to make the choices that feel right to you

Sometimes it’ll mean sticking to healthier choices at a meal out, sometimes it’ll mean having a slice of cake at your kids’ birthday party… both have a place

And it’s your choice in that moment - you don’t have to ask permission or see yourself as a failure because you made the ‘naughty’ one

It’s your choice

I’ll help you decide the right one for you 🥰

3 ways to improve your health and fitness when you aren’t a fitness person

1. Increase your activity levels - get out for walks, kitchen discos, find some kind of movement that you enjoy. It doesn’t all have to be step counts, lifting heavy weights or cardio til the cows come home. Moving more can be fun! It’ll energise you, keep you active and when you find the thing for you, you may even enjoy it!

2. Load in the fruit and veggies - your diet and nutrition doesn’t have to be perfect. You aren’t an elite athlete and it doesn’t have to be perfectly prepped and measured, which is what you might think from instagram… how many extra portions of fruit and veg can you add in today?

3. Check in with what your body and mind needs - stop, take a breath and listen. Are you hungry? Do you need five minutes of chill? Are you bored and need to do something fun? Taking time to notice and act on these is so important to managing your health and wellbeing in general - you are not (and shouldn’t be) a lean mean weight loss machine. You have a life and your body has needs - lets respect those!

Pick one of these today and go and make it happen.

Social events, nights out and family gatherings causing a bit of stress right now?

You either hit the F it button and eat anything and everything, promising to start again on Monday

Or you choose to miss out completely, stay home and nibble at a bag of salad leaves

The approach we take on is to find a middle ground that feels right for you

You shouldn’t have to miss out on life just so you can stick to your goals

But you do have to make mindful choices about what you are consuming

That’s what I help you with - enabling you to make empowered choices, so that you can continue living your best life and make progress all at the same time!

If you’d like some help with this, message me with the word ‘COACHING’ and we can chat about what this could look like for you

What a week!

Now, onto the next…

Having a weekend where nothing has gone to plan? Thinking about writing it off and starting again on Monday?

Ok so Friday night was rough… you were exhausted and grabbed a pizza on the way home, scoffed it on the sofa and just couldn’t face the gym in the morning.

Then Saturday night happened and we’re not even going to go there…

Before you know it, it’s Sunday, coffee and breakfast out with the family, lunch on the go and Sunday roast pending…

What’s the point now? Might as well wait and start again tomorrow.

Here’s a different way of thinking about it… instead of seeing the entire weekend as one massive failure, remember that every choice you make is an opportunity to do what’s right for you.

Now that might sound overwhelming, so let’s keep it simple.

👉 Having a glass of water before bed
👉 Eating an extra portion of fruit and veg that you weren’t originally planning to have
👉 Stop scrolling ten mins earlier (after you’ve read this of course) and get into bed

These tiny little choices stack up

And can shift your mindset from
🧠 I’ve completely fu**ed it this weekend
🧠 I just made a positive choice for me

I’m about to load up my dinner with extra salad
What are you going to do? Would love to hear your plans 👇
