Mama, I see you—balancing work deadlines, family responsibilities, and the never-ending to-do list. With so much on your plate, the idea of a quick fix for weight loss can feel incredibly tempting, especially when time for self-care seems nonexistent. But here’s the truth: no trendy diet or magic solution will give you the lasting change you deserve. The real transformation happens when you shift your mindset and take small, sustainable steps toward feeling strong, confident, and energized in your body—without the pressure of unrealistic expectations. Let’s break it down together.
Mama, whether your kids are toddlers, in school, or running circles around you at home, you might feel the pull to jump on the latest weight loss trend. With summer around the corner, the promise of quick fixes can feel especially tempting—especially if you’ve been longing to feel more confident in your body again.
But let me gently remind you of something so important: the biggest weight loss scam isn’t just the diets or products out there—it’s the belief that your solution is outside of you.
The truth? Real, lasting change doesn’t come from a magic pill or restrictive plan. It comes from within you. When you shift your mindset and take small, sustainable steps, you set the stage for the kind of change that lasts a lifetime.
Here’s how we can get started together:
Step 1: Start Where You Are
I know how hard it can be to face where you are right now, especially if you’re dealing with changes in your body that feel unfamiliar or even frustrating. For some moms, it’s lingering postpartum changes like leaky bladders or core weakness. For others, it’s exhaustion from balancing work, family, and the emotional load of parenting older kids. Wherever you are, I want you to approach this step with compassion.
-
Assess your starting point: Take a moment to notice how you feel physically and emotionally. Are you getting enough movement in your week? How is your energy? Are you using food to meet other needs like stress or comfort? Journaling about these things can be incredibly powerful.
-
Get curious about your body: If you’re dealing with things like persistent pain or pelvic floor issues, know that you’re not alone—and there is support. Rebuilding your core strength or addressing bladder leaks might feel overwhelming, but these are areas where small steps lead to big wins.
Wherever you’re starting from, this is your baseline—not your destination.
Step 2: Create a Plan That Works for You
Every mama’s journey is different. What works for someone else may not fit into your life, and that’s okay. The key is designing a plan that feels sustainable and achievable for you.
-
Set realistic goals: If you’re a busy mom, adding 20 minutes of movement to your day might feel more doable than committing to an hour-long workout. Start small and build on your success.
-
Prioritize what you need most: For some, that might mean focusing on nutrition and planning balanced meals. For others, it might be carving out time to rest and recover.
-
Include pelvic health in your plan: If core strength or pelvic floor concerns are part of your journey, incorporate gentle exercises that support these areas. Simple movements like diaphragmatic breathing or pelvic tilts can make a big difference over time.
Remember, this is about progress, not perfection.
Step 3: Shift Your Mindset
One of the biggest blocks to sustainable change is the way we talk to ourselves. How many times have you said, “I’ll feel better once I lose the weight,” or, “I just need more willpower”?
Let’s reframe those thoughts with kindness and truth:
-
Instead of “I’ll be happy when I reach my goal weight,” try: “I’m proud of every small step I take to care for myself.”
-
Instead of “I need more willpower,” think: “I’m choosing habits that honor my body and my health.”
-
Instead of “I have to work out to lose weight,” remind yourself: “Movement is a gift I give to my body because it helps me feel strong and energized.”
When you start shifting your mindset, you’ll notice your confidence growing—and that confidence will carry you through even the toughest days.
You Are Worth It
Whether you’re navigating the early postpartum years or chasing after older kids, your health and well-being matter. It’s not about fitting into a certain size or following the perfect plan—it’s about feeling strong, capable, and connected to your body again.
