I was chatting with a friend today that said the m I was chatting with a friend today that said the majority of her eating now, post-weight loss, is pretty boring. I said, “mine too!” I eat foods I love every day but I eat a lot of the same things over and over.

I used to eat whatever I craved. Now I eat what I know is going to make me feel good long term vs temporarily. And my cravings have slowly begun to align with my new way of living. 

Allowing your out of balance cravings to dictate your choices regarding food would be like vacationing every day with no money. Temporarily it would be exciting, fulfilling, and relaxing, but long term it would put you in the money pit.

In the same way, eating as much of whatever made me feel good in the moment landed me at 300 pounds. 

So I found a balance. I work hard to afford the vacation. I eat well to afford the splurge.
We sacrifice so much for our babies but our health We sacrifice so much for our babies but our health doesn’t have to be among the list of sacrifices. It’s not just “okay” to take the time and expend the effort to care for yourself. Caring for you IS caring for them, and all of those around you. 

I came to the realization that prioritizing the health of their mother IS putting them first. 🩷

I’ve lost over 400 pounds post babies but this tim I’ve lost over 400 pounds post babies but this time was different. I’m ten years older (it does make a difference), I work full time, and mom full time, AND I had all of those years worth of experience at my back.

I expected to snap back quickly. Especially because my lifestyle has changed drastically over the last ten years. But that’s not what happened at all, it was actually much slower. And part of that was purposeful. I’ve done the mom thing already, I know how you blink and your newborn is a toddler, then kindergartener, graduating 5th grade, and then getting their learners permit.

The days feel never ending but the years slip by before you’re ready to let them go. I got to do it again. Something that not everyone gets to do. And even though it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I wouldn’t trade it. Because I got to do it slow this time. From experience. 

And I haven’t tried to hurry through a single second.

My weight loss has been a lot like that this time. I know my lifestyle will take care of the extra pounds. So I’ve been able to relax into the process more, take my time, trust that the habits I’ve built really do work. 

So no, this wasn’t instant. But why would I want it to be when the journey is the best part?

The goal isn’t to lose 10 pounds and gain it back. It’s to build a life where taking care of yourself becomes second nature. Some weeks the scale will move, some weeks it won’t. Keep going anyway. The little things you’re doing today are going to add up to something much bigger.
