Hey, lovely ladies! 🌸 Today, I want to share something very personal and close to my heart. Have you ever felt trapped in the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting? One moment you’re on a high, feeling great about your progress, and the next, you're back to square one, frustrated and demotivated. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—I’ve been there too.
The Yo-Yo Dieting Trap
I remember those days vividly. I tried every fad diet out there—keto, juice cleanses, low-carb, no-carb—you name it. Sure, I lost weight quickly, but it never lasted. The deprivation would lead to binge eating, and I’d gain back all the weight (and sometimes more!). It was a constant battle, and my confidence took a hit every time.
Finding Consistency and Healthier Choices
One day, I decided enough was enough. I needed a change, but this time, it had to be sustainable. I ditched the restrictive diets and focused on balanced nutrition. I started enjoying my meals, incorporating all food groups but with a focus on protein and fibre. This way, I felt full and satisfied without the guilt.
Embracing Strength Training
I also discovered the magic of strength training. Initially, the thought of lifting weights was intimidating, but I started small. Slowly, I saw my body change—not just in how it looked but how it felt. I had more energy, felt stronger, and my confidence soared.
