1. Remember STRESS makes you fat! That hormone cortisol just loves to help your body to conserve fat when it senses a brain working in stress mode. Take time out, relax more, stop worrying about what the scales say – take yourself off to bed earlier, even if it’s to read a book!
Mentally escape the stress of life, even if it’s just for 10
minutes a day! Meditate, tune out, listen to music…REALLY LISTEN…whatever it is you do, practice makes perfect! You will get better at this, the more you do it, so DO it!
2. Exercise. it doesn’t have to be at my fitness classes, it can be anything that you ENJOY, but make it a habit, a hobby, something you look forward to …become an active person and love feeling fitter and looking in good shape – natures anti-depressant!
Start with baby steps and progress at your own pace, but DO it!
3. Be realistic. Your body is the one you genetically inherited – if your mother didn’t have legs like Elle MacPherson, then you probably won’t either! You can make your body the healthiest version of itself – you CAN achieve the picture in your mind of your happiest body weight / shape (as long as it’s not when you were 12!) … remember that your hormones
(particularly females here) change the fat distribution around your body – after puberty, after childbirth and at menopause. Focus on HEALTH and you will get the body shape you deserve ?
