Say this with me: “WEIGHT LOSS ISN’T THE ONLY RESULT FROM EXERCISING!” Confidence, motivation, reduced pain, energy, commitment, making time for you, bravery, forming new healthier habits... they’re also AMAZING results worth celebrating, just like Alice has celebrated in her testimonial ⬆️! 🥳
In fact, those overlooked milestones, like rebuilding confidence, often have a much deeper impact on your self-esteem and overall happiness than weight loss does.
👩👧👦 Most mums that I train with will say things like, “after I lose _kg, I will feel more confident, more motivated, more energetic, happier...”
Put a 🙋♀️ in the comments right now if you’ve said something similar.
That mindset tells you that your self-worth and happiness are conditional. It tells you that you can’t have a full dose of daily happiness until [insert result here].
Quite often, losing weight doesn’t equal happiness if you’ve reached that point telling yourself and others (over and over again) “I am not happy right now, but I will be after I lose _kg.”
🙅🏼♂️ Your weight IS NOT how you measure your self-worth and it’s certainly not the only result you should be focussing on.
Even as a male, I get how hard it is to ignore the social media posts that sell quick fixes and to not want them for yourself, but what’s even harder is living your life with your happiness tied to the number on the scales or on the tape measure around your waist.
📲 Inside my program, I don’t want weight loss to be the only result we celebrate.
🥳 Friendships, motivation, education, reduced pain, regaining confidence, happier mindsets, strength, prioritizing yourself, taking time for you, having conversations that benefit you, making healthier choices, creating new habits... they’ll all be celebrated inside the community.
They’re the best parts of reaching your goals. Put your focus there.
💁🏼♂️ Tell me, what result do you put the most focus on when you’re exercising?
