I’ll start by saying that I recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for better health, prioritizing movement, and the significance between greater muscle mass and longevity. 💪🏻

There is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight… HOWEVER, the number on the scale is not a full indicator of health. It’s only ONE small piece of the puzzle. 🧩

Up until ~3 years ago, I was on a weight rollercoaster 🎢 going to extreme measures just to lose the pounds. What I learned is weight gain is not always associated with over eating, rather foundational imbalances within the systems of the body that lead to metabolic dysfunction.

Have you ever thought about how digestive health plays a role? Or blood sugar? Or hormones?

If losing weight is your goal, yet you’re ignoring these signs that your body is giving you, it’s time to reassess.

*Sleep: Wake up often? Hard time falling asleep? Wake up feeling sluggish + tired? 💤

*Energy: Our energy naturally dips in between meals but needing 3 cups of coffee ☕️ or energy drinks to function should not be the norm.

*Satisfaction: Not feeling satisfied after a meal? Get hungry 30 min to an hour later? Major cravings for sweet, salty or junk food? 🍭

*Healthy relationship w/food: Fear or anxiety when it comes to eating? Obsessed with weighing, tracking and counting calories? 😖

*Hair, skin, nails: Hair falling out? Skin issues? Thin nails that break easily? 💅🏻

*Digestion: Bloating? Abdominal pain? Constipation or diarrhea? Nausea? If you’re not having a least one solid p**p a day, there could be a deeper issue at play. 💩

*(ladies) Regular + pain free periods: Irregular timing, debilitating pain, vomiting, nausea, etc. surrounding your period is NOT normal. 🩸

*Self love + acceptance: Probably the most important of all. Accept that every body is unique and love yourself where you are at while sustainably working towards a healthy weight goal that is right for YOU. 🤍
