@paigespath: When you’ve lost weight before and then gained it back, especially because life got hard or your health changed, it really messes with your head. You don’t trust yourself the same way. You feel guilty for even being here again. And sometimes you don’t even want to admit you’ve gained weight, because it feels like you gave up on yourself. That guilt creates resistance - not motivation. So if fat loss feels heavier this time, it’s not a discipline issue. It’s an emotional one. Admitting that, let alone taking action on it, is HARD. Rebuilding yourself and gaining trust within yourself starts when you stop punishing yourself for surviving. LOVE YA💛🌻
