Hot Mom Walks

Sometimes you gotta do the hard things to remind yourself just how far you’ve come.

When I was 23 stone I absolutely hated walking. I used to avoid any kind of activity that required walking and the idea of “going for a walk” filled me with dread.

When I look back now I have so much compassion for myself, no wonder I found it so difficult. My gait and form were completely off, and lugging double my bodyweight put so much strain on everything. I wish I could go back and tell the “before” me that it would all be ok.

Now on my second postpartum weight loss journey after my initial weight loss, I’m still not where I want to be. But for the sake of my mental strength, it’s vital that I remind myself of just how far I have come!

So if you’re finding yourself challenged during the middle of your weight loss, I encourage you to do something that you used to find challenging to see just how far you’ve actually come!

Consistency is staying in the thickness of the liquid.

Not everyday is going to be perfect, and with anything you want to achieve, consistency is the key. But because we’re imperfect humans, we’re going to have bad days. Days that we slightly mess up, or days that we completely f*ck up.

But this is where the basis of consistency comes in for weight loss. Instead of letting a bad day turn into a bad month, consistency reminds us that we’re not perfect and instead, we pick ourselves back up, dust ourselves off and go again!

So don’t let a bad day turn into two, that’s a simple key.

I used to have a warped idea of what consistency was. When I first learned that consistency, not motivation, was the key to my weight loss, I thought I’d feel defeated if I wasn’t at 100% everyday.

But that’s not what consistency is. It’s not a tool to measure an unattainable level of perfection against. Consistency is more about not letting the pursuit of perfection stop you from attaining your goals.

Consistency is giving yourself the grace to meet you where you are on a particular day. And consistency is not allowing bad days to be an excuse or reason to quit.

Meet Cheryl, the malevolent squatter living rent free in my head.

On the long road that is this weight loss, pregnancy, weight loss, maintenance weight loss, pregnancy and weight loss, I have learned to hear this voice, but not listen to it. The concept of our thoughts are not us is difficult for me to grasp at times, but personifying and externalising her helps to notice it and to also not pay as much heed to her whims nor suggestions.

Cheryl can also be my teacher, she’s my challenger. When she pipes up I can ask myself, what’s going on here, what do I need? And sometimes it’s just to tell her to p*ss off!

Have you named your malevolent brain squatter?
