Raise your hand if you’ve been guilty of letting the number on the scale ruin your entire day🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

I know I have, and have definitely gone to very silly lengths like going to the bathroom multiple times and taking off all items of clothing and jewelry to see if that would make a difference.

But after successfully losing 30lbs and coaching over 100 women in their fat loss journeys—and here’s what I’ve learned about the scale:

Every woman I’ve worked with encountered scale fluctuations.

Not a single one had a trend line that went down consistently over time.

The scale went up during their periods.

It went up after they ate a salty meal.

It went up after going out to eat on the weekend.

It went up after a hard leg day.

Which is COMPLETELY normal.

My most successful clients don’t panic when the scale jumps. Instead, they zoom out and look at the full picture. We look at all the data points, like:
✔️ Progress pictures
✔️ Measurements
✔️ How their clothes fit
✔️ And most importantly, how they feel in their bodies: their energy, confidence, and non-scale victories along the way.

Because here’s the truth: fat loss isn’t just about the scale going down. It’s about improving our overall health.

It’s about celebrating when…
✨ You’re lifting heavier with your squat
✨ You’re less winded going up the stairs
✨ You enjoy pizza or ice cream with your family
without guilt
✨ You show up for yourself, even when life isn’t perfect

Yes, the scale can show progress, but make sure to give yourself some credit and acknowledge the many other “invisible” ways you’re making progress to improve your overall health and quality of life.

Is anyone else as obsessed with birthday cake Drizzilicious as I am!?

I first discovered Drizzilicious when I was six weeks postpartum after having my son. I remember thinking they were SO good…and so hard to stop eating.

Every time I opened a bag, I’d finish it within a day. It usually happened around 4 p.m., and looking back, I realize I was experiencing the “sunset scaries.” I felt so anxious about how the night would go with my newborn, and I was using food to avoid those uncomfortable feelings.

I thought the problem was the Drizzilicious, when in reality, I needed better ways to cope with my stress.

While I worked on those coping skills, I also started pairing a serving of Drizzilicious with something high in protein, like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a protein shake. That combination helped me feel fuller, slow down while eating, and eventually learn to trust myself around these foods. I could keep them in my kitchen AND still stick with my goals.

That’s what makes this high-protein cake batter dip so good. It has 33g of protein to help keep you full, tastes amazing, and pairs perfectly with fun foods like Drizzilicious, vanilla Oreos, graham crackers, or berries!

Here’s the recipe:

🎂 100g blended 2% cottage cheese
🎂 100g 2% Greek yogurt
🎂 18g Cool Whip
🎂 8g Jell-O pudding mix (cheesecake or vanilla both work!)
🎂 Optional: ½ scoop protein powder

Mix everything together and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Top with sprinkles and eat it straight from the bowl or use it as a dip!

And if you have the crumbs from the bottom of a bag of birthday cake Drizzilicious, add those with the sprinkles😋

Save this recipe, and let me know if you try it!

I once had a client who told me her goal was to completely eliminate sugar.

She was so frustrated with herself because every time she ate a brownie, she’d end up eating the entire tray.

“I can’t trust myself around sweets,” she told me. “So I need to cut them out completely. No more lattes, ice cream, brownies, or anything else with sugar.”

I listened, validated how she was feeling, and then said:

We can absolutely help you work toward your goals. But before we make a plan, I want to ask you something:

Is that what you actually want?

Do you really never want to have your favorite pumpkin spiced latte on a chilly fall morning?

Or go out for ice cream with your family in the summer?

Or allow yourself to eat a brownie—especially your kid’s favorite ones from the box?

She smiled, paused, and said, “No. That’s not really what I want.”

What she realized was that she did want to eat these foods.

She just wanted to trust herself around them.

So instead of restricting, we focused on creating simple boundaries.

Think about it this way: most of us don’t go grocery shopping when we’re hungry because we know we’ll buy more than we actually need.

The same thing applies to sweets. When we eat them on an empty stomach, keep them constantly in sight, or eat them mindlessly without pausing, it becomes much harder to stop at the amount we actually want.

You can have a sweet tooth and eat the foods you love while losing weight.

It might take a little longer—but you’ll gain the tools, confidence, and mindset to include these foods intentionally and trust yourself to stick with it for the long run.

POV: Your period doesn’t care about your calorie deficit😅

Okay but seriously, why does it feel like you’re finally doing EVERYTHING right, and then your period comes and ruins it all!?

Here’s the thing—your period doesn’t need to sabotage your calorie deficit—as long as you understand your body and can plan ahead.

During your period, your body needs more energy, which can increase hunger and cravings—especially for comfort foods.

Your hormones can also affect mood, energy levels, and even water retention.

There’s nothing wrong with you if you’re feeling these symptoms. Your body isn’t broken and you’re not lazy or unmotivated. Stop calling yourself mean names just for being a woman🫶🏽

Now, everyone’s body is going to respond differently during their period, and there are certain medical conditions that can make symptoms worse, so remember to listen to YOUR body, rather than just subscribing to someone else’s suggestions.

But if you are feeling symptoms of higher hunger and cravings, instead of fighting it, here’s how to work with your body during this time:

1️⃣ Prioritize Rest: Your energy might feel lower, so give yourself permission to take more rest days if needed. It’s okay to scale back your workouts or stick to lighter activity.

2️⃣ Eat Higher Volume Meals: Incorporate foods that keep you full—get your protein + fiber through lean proteins and veggies

3️⃣ Plan for Snacks: Restricting snacks often backfires. Instead, enjoy your favorite treats AND balance them with protein and fiber:

Craving a cookie? Have it!!!! And ADD a serving of Greek yogurt and berries.

Can’t stop yourself from finishing that bag of chips? EAT THEM!!! And ADD a serving of veggies and hummus to help you control your portion size.

Diving headfirst into a pint of ice cream? ENJOY IT!!! Consider ADDING a protein shake before you take your first bite.
