RE: GETTING OFF THE WEIGHT LOSS ROLLER COASTER
Dear friend,
It is a FACT!
Many 40+Female professionals are worried about not having enough energy and vitality to accomplish the dreams they still have for their life.
"They have developed habits of overwork , self-neglect and putting the needs of others before their own. Lack of attention to diet and healthy lifestyle choices has led to impaired metabolism, excess weight and lifestyle related ailments".
Is this your experience?
What Worked In Your 20'S And 30'S Just Don't Work Anymore. Insanity Exercises, Low calorie food rations and heart pumping energy drink ,leave you drained and shaky and the pounds don’t budge
It does not seem to matter which diet program you choose, the story is the same. "eat better, eat less, exercise more… try harder."
And the outcome is the same, either the scale doesn't budge or the weight you ‘succeeded in losing’ comes right back in 4-6 months.
You have lost and regained the same 10 or 30 pounds over and over again, AND your baseline weight has also been gradually increasing.
Perhaps you are now the heaviest you have ever been in your life.
and you feel trapped in this cycle of gaining and losing weight unable to create the healthy lifestyle that you dream of
In this situation, its natural to beat upon and criticise yourself day after day for what you did or didn’t do in the area of your self-care?
You may even feel SHAME .
Shame for the self-neglect, for your expanding waistline and the closet with almost new "brand name" suits and dresses, that no longer fit?
Shame for the frequent bouts of breathlessness and your growing stash of prescription medication
