The pressure is real! 

Is the expectation of having to look a certain way worrying you?

I find lots of the ladies I coach online were so deflated because of this expectation they almost couldn’t start their weight loss journey.

The difference between these two photos is probably a couple of years but the biggest piece of advice I want to give you is : 

♥️ Do not to put too much pressure on yourself! 

It took the entire pregnancy for you to put on the weight , that is the key thing for you to remember. 

♥️Having a baby is HARD and there is no such thing as bouncing back.

Bounce forward!! 

Your body is off your hormones are all over the place, your sleep maybe non existent , things just do not go back to normal overnight.

Allow yourself 9-12 months to make a comeback, sometimes it may even take longer and that’s OK!! 

🏃‍♀️ I didn’t start working out until 16 weeks post baby, as I was juggling a lot at the time, on my own, running a business and had responsibilities, it’s was tough. 

♥️Do not compare yourself to others, someone who may look like that are back to normal physically in comparison to you may be far from it emotionally!

✅ Everyone is different and the amount of time that it takes for hormones to balance out varies from person to person.

🥰Do not be hard on yourself heal physically, emotionally and mentally in your own time, be kind to yourself.

After giving birth, I remember looking at the first picture and thinking how will I get my body back.

I started small, daily consistent steps, whatever your age, circumstances, fitness level - IT IS POSSIBLE 

Drop me a DM if you would like some help with your journey , no matter what stage you are at .

❤️Save this for when you need reminding that you’re doing just fine ❤️
