Just in case it wasn’t clear enough... this is a sarcastic post. It’s meant to be a jest.

The non-sarcastic part:

I consumed probably shy of 3000 calories in the space on 90 minutes.

I don’t ruin christmas meals by trying to track them so it’s a good guesstimate.

Anyway I’m pretty sure that was not something that was intended when the human body was designed.

As a result I got bloated as f**k.

This is normal, you shouldn’t s**t the bed at being bloated.

As exemplified here, it will literally disappear by the morning.

Yes you will retain some weight gain - but it’s just food in the system and retained water from the f**k tonne of extra carbs.

Nothing that won’t disappear in a couple days if you have a good 💩 and return to your normal diet and exercise habits (assuming they’re not crap).

This is something I really try to ingrain into my clients when they start working with me.

Getting upset or feeling shame and guilt after going out for a nice meal is no way to live your life.

Neither is trying to compensate the next day by eating next to nothing and/or over exercising.

But then neither is going the other way and living your life eating whatever the f**k you want, whenever you want and in whatever quantity you want.

There is a huge middle ground between those extremes where we can thrive.

You can have a healthy body that can do cool s**t, look good on the beach (and in the bedroom), and enjoy a fulfilling social life with great food.

That’s what I help my clients find, however that looks *for them*.

If you fancy the sound of that, I’ve 2 (though might be 1) space on the January 8IN8 program.

Check the link in my bio, have a read and message me if you have questions or want to get involved.

(Also I f**king hate sharing my body online but sometimes you have to be the example)

(Second also, neither of those pics are exaggerated. No forced pushing out of the belly on the left and no tensing on the right. I really was preggo-level bloated 😂)

I wasn’t planning to run this again in January, but I had some interest in it so I thought f-k it, why not?

3 of the 5 spaces are gone, 2 left. 1 has already had interest.

8 IN 8 is the best 8 week fat loss program you’ve never tried.

But how is it different?

First of all..

👉🏻 You won’t be forced into poverty calories or restrictive meal plans.
👉🏻 You won’t be made to live in the gym 7x per week or do 30,000 steps. (Someone joining in Jan doesn’t even go to the gym!)
👉🏻 You won’t be called ‘lazy’, ‘useless’ or belittled when you f**k up a bit.

(Yes I’ve actually heard of that happening with other “coaches” in the industry 🥴)

So that rules out a lot of 8 week programs already.

The goal is simple: Spend 8 weeks creating solid foundations required for future success whilst dropping up to 8lbs in the process.

You’ll notice I’m not promising you the world on a golden platter.

It’s not about an end result or a seemingly incredible before and after that’s secretly built on a ruined relationship with food and exercise.

It’s about simply commiting to 8 weeks of putting the effort in the right areas.

Getting started, building momentum and establishing a foundation that becomes a safety net for the rest of your journey.

Because this is just the start of your journey, whether you continue on with me* afterwards or not.

*There will be a spot reserved at the end of 8IN8, at a special rate, for those interested since everyone so far who has worked with me for 8 weeks wanted to continue doing so afterwards 😂 - but no pressure from me whatsoever to continue*

So...

👆🏻Things I LOVE to see 👆🏻

Imagine going through Christmas and feeling the least stressed about food you’ve EVER felt.

🥰 Actually enjoying the holidays on your terms.

Instead of the usual ‘enjoying yourself’ but internally you’re tangoing with guilt and anxiety.

Well that was the reality for this in particular legend this year.

🧐 Now you’re wondering what the secret is? How did she manage that?

Well the plan for Christmas was simple:

👉🏻 Enjoy herself, however that looked to her.

I can’t say I was expecting to hear a reflection with this much oomph...

But I’m not surprised either.

😮‍💨 She’s been working really hard on her thoughts and behaviours around food for months now.

With many ups and many downs, as is ALWAYS the case.

So this is just a culmination of that effort.

🥳 I’m so proud of the work she’s done so far.

And I cant wait to see how much she’s going to smash 2024.

💬 If you want to finally take action in 2024 and get wins like this, you’re the kind of person I would love to support to achieve your goals.

👀 If you’re interested, keep an eye out because I’ve got a ridiculous opportunity coming in the new year.

________________________________

Your week has not gone your way.

Your behaviours have slipped away from what you’d like.

You’ve got the chinese menu up for the second time that week. You put your order in.

Whilst checking the basket you stop for a second and think.

👉🏻 Do I actually want this?
👉🏻 Am I going to enjoy it?
👉🏻 Is this inline with my values/behaviours I want to take?

👉🏻 Or am I eating my emotions?
👉🏻 Have I let myself get too hungry and it’s affecting my decisions?
👉🏻 Is this just going to make me feel s**t after?

Sometimes, the answer will be yes to the first set of questions. In which case, crack on.

But often, it will be a fat yes to the second set of questions. That was the case for this client.

A few months ago, she likely would have gone through with it anyway and suffered what comes after.

✋🏻 But not this time. This time she shut that s**t down real quick.

Because we’d had conversations about how to handle moments like this. So she knew to ask herself certain questions before ordering, to figure out WHY she was ordering.

🤷🏼‍♂️ Now you won’t beat every crossroad like this (infact this same client didn’t overcome everything that went sideways that week).

But you’ll never beat any if you don’t take the time to develop the skills of checking yourself. And that takes time (and usually some good support).

If you find yourself getting stuck at these crossroads often, drop me a DM, it might be worth having a chat with me to see if I can help you like I have this client.

Imagine enjoying your birthday celebrations...

.. rather than 'enjoying' them (but actually being shot by the Guilt Gun.)

✅ That's one of the many things I help you with when you work with me.

(I also check you when you do s**t like describe a high calorie day as 'bad')

This client had been having trouble with balancing social occasions with their goals.

Often just going a bit OTT, suffering with guilt/annoyance, followed by negative reaction to the scales and then overcompensation with food restriction.

🗣️ We talked it through a lot, I gave them tools they could use in these situations and with time, they're now at the point where they can enjoy a social event, not go OTT and crack on as normal after.

So this is a great win.

💬 If you want to finally take action and get wins like this, you're the kind of person I would love to support to achieve your goals - so drop me a message and let’s get started.

___________________________________

You've been rather inactive and you want to change that. Hell, you've even tried.

🫣 You got your gym membership, walked through the door and got slapped in the face with gymtimidation.

Not knowing what to do, you panicked and found safety on a treadmill. Safety, but boredom.

🥲 You're sick of the treadmill. You wanted to get started with weights, to get stronger, but you just don't know where to start.

Now imagine you were given a blueprint. A blueprint that told you:

👉🏻 What exercises to do?
👉🏻 How to figure out the right weight?
👉🏻 How many reps?
👉🏻 How many sets?
👉🏻 How much rest between sets?
👉🏻 What order to do them in?

A blueprint that answered all those questions and more.

🤷🏼‍♂️ Well, that's what I gave Leah when she came to me.

✅ A training plan built for her, answering all the questions she had, meaning she could rock up to the gym and know exactly what to do.

👀 But thats not all, a regular strength training routine naturally started to make her more aware of her food choices; noticing the impact on her training performance (and overall energy, mood, etc) that her diet had.

💬 So if you're reading this thinking f**k me that sounds like what I need...

.. drop me a DM and we'll have a chat, because you could very well be the type of person I love to help.
