Coach LizzyZ

2 years ago we didn’t fit on a ride as a family of 3!

2 years ago I hid the physical pain I was in!

2 years ago I was just going through the motions and making every excuse in the book- and I felt BROKEN

And then I made a choice- that I wanted to LIVE for her and with her!

Took her on a last minute quick trip and let me tell you, there is NO WAY I would have been able to do all that we did in the short amount of time if I was where I was 2 years ago!

In 48 hrs we did 3 parks, hotel pool, ran in the rain to get on rides, stood in a 65 minute line for a ride she wanted to do in this Florida heat and I didn’t just “survive”!

I lived every single moment of it with her! She is definitely my little side kick and I love that we are able to have these little bonding trips together.

So many of us are willing to “die for our kids” but how many of you are willing to LIVE for them?

All it takes is one choice to chip away each day, to be 1% better each day, to not give up on yourself and figure it out!

I’m looking for 5 new moms who want to live life for and with their kids... if that’s you, let’s chat!

Comparison

Last week I was really hard on myself and this week was about to start on a similar trend.

Then I took myself back- back to the beginning. Back to when I thought all was lost and that I would never be able to be the mom my child needed.

I reminded myself that I didn’t start on this journey with a magic number in mind. The goal was to be in a place that I could be more active and present for my daughter. To be in a place where I wasn’t hiding both physical and emotional pain.

The picture on the left was a stark reminder that I am not THERE anymore! That I am physically able to keep up with my daughter, regardless of what the scale says or my extra skin and sagging belly.

I know plenty of other women who weigh what I weigh and look nothing like me! I even know some who weigh more than me and have perfectly flat tummy’s even after having kids.

But they aren’t me and I’m not them. And if you have been sitting their watching my journey saying- “that could never be me” you are in fact 💯 correct!

Your journey will be just that! YOUR journey! No one else’s!

I can share tons of transformation photos of other people and while in an instant it might help you make that leap- someone else’s transformation can only carry you so far!

You have to find your why and your reason to take action regardless of a number on the scale!

I have a brand new challenge group starting and I would love for you to be a part of it!

If you are ready to take action for your why... we need to talk today!

🛑 waiting and comparing yourself to others!

Let’s go!

Addiction

Most people associate addiction with drugs or alcohol- but food/sugar addiction is real.

And let’s be real- there’s no way to fully escape food 100% making it that much harder to-

👉Acknowledge - because you have to eat right? And if you are feeling “hungry” you should eat right?
Little did I know that many of the foods I was eating were triggering my binges and were not actually satisfying me leading me to over eat. I actually didn’t realize/acknowledge I had an eating disorder until I was 35 and pregnant.

👉100% Recover- while I’m a whole lot better than I used to be, I still have episodes. Why? Because food is all around us- ALL the time. And when you have been conditioned to eat a tub of ice cream to feel better, sometimes it just seems like the easy way out.

I obviously engage in behaviors and routines that help keep me on the right track like using Instagram cart, cooking at home, going out for a treat vs buying a package of something for the house, and so on.

But I fall off.

And not because I’m on some restrictive diet because I’m not... but because eating to cope with stress or even enjoyment have been my life.

It’s a birthday eat cake and then have a slice tomorrow, and the next until it’s gone. Or had a bad day? Pint of Ben and Jerry’s please! Oh and let’s be real- a pint of Halo or any of those others isn’t really a great option to cope with stress either.

Today I could have easily had an entire giant bowl of pasta! But mind over matter and I know better. I had a few treats this weekend so my body is craving more of the not so great stuff!

Tonight I subbed regular pasta for miracle noodles with homemade feta sauce and some grilled steak.

Wanted a “treat” but opted for a mandarin instead. It’s once choice at a time- one meal at a time!

Do you struggle with food addiction or uncontrollable cravings?
