How not to overeat on the “big meals” of the month, having an abundance of chocolates in the house and what to do if you're gifted a LOAD of food whilst you're on a fat loss journey & more… We've got you covered

There is so much more to life, to your health journey, to working on yourself than simply seeing that scale weight drop. But when you confine yourself to such a narrow box, you are doing yourself a disservice! If you have fat loss goals, that's great. We support you wholeheartedly in a healthful and sustainable approach to that. But sustainable fat loss is about transforming your mindset around food & your body, developing new habits and behaviours around food for life and unlearning everything you took on from years of diet culture.  And ALL of those things give you more than a change in body composition. They give you confidence, freedom, food joy, more mental space, more energy, better health, better relationships with yourself and the people around you.  Stop putting a limit on what you can achieve by focusing solely on weight loss and listen in to today's giant dose of fierce compassion!
