Women's bodies over 50.

How many are you seeing in your social media feed?

Are we being fed a distorted perception of what women over 50 actually look like?

Are the only over 50s bodies we see either models or AI?

No wonder women over 50 struggle with body confidence.

What do you think?

Are cravings really a willpower problem?

There are so many reasons that we crave high calorie foods.

- Hunger
- Boredom
- Stress
- Comfort
- Pleasure
- Habit
- etc....

Getting to know your patterns without judgement can be liberating. Not because you need to fix yourself, but because understanding yourself frees you from negative self talk and repetitive cycles.

Have you noticed what drives your cravings? What do you really need in that moment?

PART 2.
Have you noticed what happens around food when you're really stressed?

It's almost like somebody else takes over and makes choices for you, even when you have the best intentions.

I will explain one of the things that's going on in your brain that can get in the way of your best intentions.

Let me know how it feels to hear this.

PART 1.
If losing weight was all about willpower and mindset, we wouldn't have a weight loss industry, and so many women would be happily relived of weight loss stress.

Over the next few posts, I am going to share some of what's going on beneath mindset, willpower and our food choices and it's not what you think it is.

See you in the next reel.

You know one of my most challenging habits?
Scrolling at night when I really should be resting.

It's a problem I kept thinking I needed to fix.
I was embarrassed about it because it took up so much time and made me feel like I was wasting precious time. I felt like it stopped me being productive. And interestingly, it was a habit that I judged in others because I saw how distracted they were. All in all, it just made me feel like I had no control over myself.

What if the behaviour you’re struggling with is an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply? Discover what lies beneath your habits and how compassionate awareness can create more choice.

I've seen it so many times.

Stressed and overwhelmed women, adding a diet into the mix, not being able to sustain it, then falling off the waggon and blaming herself for being a failure.

We aren't robots.

We can't expect an already overwhelmed system to take on another stress load in the form of a diet.

This is where breathwork and nervous system regulation tools and support become so important.

When we build capacity first, this is when we can begin to think clearly and make decisions that support our goals.

If you are fed up with trying harder and you're looking for a more empowering way to support yourself, you're in the right place.

I'm commencing the first cohort of Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind on the 21st October and I am taking applications now.

This first cohort is open to 5 women only. If it sounds like exactly what you need. Reach out to learn more or find the full description in my bio.

We often think we need more motivation when what we actually need is more capacity to respond to what life throws at us.

This is the heart of my Strong Like A Woman Method™ — learning to understand yourself, build capacity and create change without relying on willpower.

If this resonates, follow along. I'm exploring a very different approach to becoming strong.

You aren't failing at weight loss, you just don't have the full picture.

You can have the best meal plan and access to the best quality food and still fail at weight loss.

Your capacity and your ability to notice what's going on in your life has more influence than you may have realised.

This is what we cover in the first 4 weeks of Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind and you can be part of the first cohort starting in October.

If you are fed up with chasing your tail and feeling like you fail every time you try to lose weight, moment CAPACITY or send me a direct message to add yourself to the waitlist.

Getting to know yourself first is the key to lasting change.
