Losing weight is easy…… until it isn’t! We give up on living a healthy lifestyle so quickly!
It’s a familiar pattern. We set out on a path to health and wellness, only to find ourselves self-sabotaging, looking for any excuse to give up. We put aside our deepest desires, only to be confronted with the daunting effort required to achieve them.
Then doubt drowns our soul. Leaving us at the lowest point of our lives mentally.
As a coach, I guide women on a journey to reclaim their lives. Weight loss is a significant part of this process, but it’s not just about working out. Clean eating is the cornerstone of successful weight loss and maintenance. It’s the KEY to achieving your goals!
You can work out until your knees give out, but if you are still eating junk, then your body will not change!

Every Sunday, I give my clients a list of exercises that I want them to complete for the week. I base it on their fit test, and I focus on the areas that need improvement. My list will make your eyes pop out of your head, especially if you aren’t aware of how strong you are. I design it this way because I want my clients to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously.

But many of my clients are SABOTEURS!
Quickly giving in to temptation and consuming calorie upon calorie and making the scale slowly creep back up to that horrid number that signifies an unhealthy zone. Which ultimately… leaves a crippling feeling.
Giving up is not an option. This is your moment to shine, to show what you’re truly capable of!
Throwing in the towel isn’t an option. If you have failed 1000 times, then you should feel more motivated than ever to make this moment WORK. Giving in to temptation is common, and believe it or not, that’s okay. We all stumble, but it’s how we pick ourselves up that matters.
Remember, it’s never too late to start over. Every day is a new opportunity to make healthier choices and get back on track. So, don’t be discouraged. Just start over again, and keep moving forward towards your goals.

Every day should feel like a fresh start!

This post hit home! 💯 You captured the emotional rollercoaster of weight loss and healthy living so perfectly — that mix of motivation, frustration, and self-doubt. I love how you reminded readers that it’s not just about workouts but about mindset and clean eating too. Your words feel both tough-love and deeply encouraging. “Every day should feel like a fresh start” — I needed that reminder today. Thank you, Belladonna, for inspiring persistence and self-compassion all at once. ❤️
