Why living a healthy lifestyle is an uphill battle for a lot of peopleā¦ - Access to healthy food - Affordability of cheap processed food - Hyperpalatable foods that are designed to make us addicted - Societyās convenience of mostly fast food - And the list goes on Even though itās an uphill battle itās still possible!

Where it all startedā¦ Back in 2011 I had this ideaā¦ To gain a better understanding of what itās like (kind of, not exactly) to be overweight I decided to stop exercising for 6 months and eat a Standard American Diet (the S.A.D. Diet) and I ended up gaining 75 lbs in 6 months, but more importantly, I gained a new perspective, a better understanding and empathy! This is what the Fit2Fat2Fit movement is all aboutā¦bringing more empathy and understanding to the fitness industry of how hard real transformation is for people. Itās not as simple as just eating less and working out more. We are humans and itās more complex than people think, which is why we need more empathy in this industry AND THE WORLD! Drop a ā¤ļø if you agree!
It took me gaining and losing weight on purpose TWICE to finally understand: - The power of emotional eating - How addictive processed food can be - That transformation is way more mental/emotional than people think - That I am/we are more than our bodies - Thereās more to life than having low body fat - The importance of EMPATHY for ourselves and others that struggle with weight loss and body image issues - Itās not as easy or as simple as we make it out to be - That Cinnamon Toast Crunch tastes really really good šš At the end of the day, no matter what you look like we all deserve to be loved, seen and heard. āNo one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.ā Thatās what #fit2fat2fit is all about. I hear you. I see you. You are worth it and you can do hard things! Keep moving forward! #imua #selflove #empathy #fit2fat2fit #fit2fat2forty #transformation
Changing your situation vs changing your perception of your situationā¦ Sometimes we can control our situation and sometimes we cannot. The goal is to surrender to what is sometimes and learn to shift your oerceotion. @ Things that have helped me tremendously with shifting my perception: - Therapy - Life coaching - Books - Podcasts - New friends - Meditation - Breath work - Plant medicines - Doing really hard things (Misogi, etc.) - Being alone out in nature - Solo trips - Religion If youāre interested in learning more about how to do this you should apply to come to my Conscious Fitness Retreat in October here on the Big Island of Hawaii October 14-19th, 2024.

If youāre someone that gets frustrated constantly with the number on the scale then this video is for YOU! These are a few reasons why I wouldnāt worry too much about it. And I highly recommend other forms of measurement on your weight loss journey other than the scale: - Dexa Scan (or other body fat test) - Measurements - How your clothes fit - How your body feels - Increases in strength/performance in the gym
I think this is an important video because I was talking to my daughter last night about how she loves eating healthy now because of how it makes her feel (and not because this food will make her skinny or that food will make her fat). It was ALL about how she felt after eating healthy and thatās why this video by @prattprattpratt is so simple yet eye opening. Less healthy food can be more exciting in the moment, but for most comes at the cost of making you feel less than optimal in between meals vs eating healthier foods (which also can be boring) isnāt as enjoyable in the moment, but the times between leave you feeling optimal!! This is why itās important to realize that you are worthy to eat the boring healthier food and feel great physically and mentally vs escaping and numbing through food and feeling miserable in between meals. **and just for the record, healthier food doesnāt have to be bland and boring** šš

I love @jimstoppani ās take on what a good pre-workout routine is! Itās not just his @jymsupps , but food can also be a good pre-workout! He also mentions essential amino acids, which I currently take and love to use as a fuel source during my workouts!
