🚶♀️ Your Action Item: Get Steady Before You Shrink
This week, shift your focus from shrinking to stabilizing.
• Identify one behavior that makes you feel steady: maybe it’s lifting twice a week, walking after dinner, or eating a solid breakfast
• Repeat that behavior consistently
• Let go of the pressure to lose right now: your body needs to feel safe first
Stabilizing isn’t giving up. It’s building trust with your body again.
