@lila.menopause.su: Why weight loss in your 40s can feel like a different game 👇 You’re eating well. You’re moving. You’re trying. And the scale keeps making you feel like none of that counts. During the menopause transition, hormonal changes can affect where fat is stored. Aging, muscle, sleep, stress and everyday habits matter too. So I’d look beyond one number: → Are you getting stronger? → Are meals satisfying and regular? → How is your sleep? → Do you have enough time to recover? → Are there symptoms worth getting checked? “Be more disciplined” doesn’t answer those questions. Protein. Strength training. Fiber-rich foods. Sleep. A routine that fits the life you actually have. The goal doesn’t have to be a smaller number at any cost. I’d keep the next meal normal after a frustrating weigh-in. The morning number doesn’t need to decide whether the rest of the day becomes punishment. For meals that fit the life you actually have, try the perimenopause app Lila for a meal plan around your food preferences and dietary needs. Search Lila in the App Store. Save this for the morning the scale tries to ruin your day. 💜 #perimenopause #over40 #midlifehealth
