2Fab Weight Loss & Fitness Support

Listen while I tell you some of my truths about WLS

A lot of us when obese are intimidated by young fit people or fit people in general and that keeps us out of the gym. I want to change that.

I don’t care what anyone thinks and that’s a big part of succeeding at anything. I needed a challenge so I made it a goal and now I’m crushing it! One week without meat! 3 weeks to go!

Fear holds us back from so many things. Including weight loss. Yea I said it. Not fear of being “too skinny” but fear of the devastating regain. Listen as I tell you what I mean.

I need a good challenge. That’s the kind of mood I’m in this weekend. This is going to beyond difficult because I am such a carnivore. I am going to try to get through the rest of February with little to no meat.

Denial is the wall in between where we are and where we want to be. Today I’m calling out some of my own BS.

If you follow weight loss journeys on Instagram and Facebook it’s easy to believe some people make it look so easy while you are struggling. We all struggle. Regardless of what people choose to post, there is always going to be struggle. The key is learning to move past the struggle and to keep going.

I feel a calling to help support others who are struggling with obesity. I believe we all have gifts and purpose but it can be very scary to pursue them. It’s easier to stay comfortable.

I suffered from anxiety since childhood and also struggled with my weight since childhood. It was until turning 40 did I learn and understand how they linked together for me.

People always ask how I stay motivated. I don’t. Motivation doesn’t last forever. I’m just committed and I understand and accept the bad days without giving up.

People are always quick to judge an obese person. As if one enjoys being obese. Obesity is hard. It comes with a lot of denial too. It’s easier to pretend it’s ok than it is to start climbing the giant mountain to become healthier. It can be done though. No matter what you think, you can change.

There are many benefits to exercise but so many of us struggle to do it. I’ve always hated exercise and activity even as a kid. I loathed gym class and even failed it one year. Now I look at exercise differently and I’ll tell you why.

Do you have an all or nothing attitude? Do you do really well when you start a new plan then quit when you eat something bad. Let’s talk about moving forward and accepting there is no perfect plan.

There is no cookie cutter way to lose weight long term and be healthier. We let other people make us feel like failure when we can not follow their plan of eating. We need to find what works for us as individuals. A healthier way for us. Obesity can not be conquered if we keep failing at someone else’s plan.

In this episode I give you a little background on my life long struggle with being overweight. Yo-yo dieting and how I got to now, my lowest adult weight.
