Weight loss for pre-empty nester women who don't like working out
Where's the beef?
“Where’s the Beef” was a popular line from a Wendy’s commercial when I was growing up. Everytime I heard that phrase I’d think of one thing: worm juice.
“Wendy’s burgers have worm juice in them” was something someone told me. I don’t remember who--it was probably a very reliable source on the playground-ha ha!--but I believed them. And because of that belief, I’ve never had a Wendy’s burger. Their #4 Chicken Sandwich combo however was a college diet staple.
Yes, I obviously needed Beachbody in my life.
Clearly, Wendy’s burgers aren’t made with worm juice. Is worm juice even a thing? I don’t know. But an impressionable adolescent believed it was true and to this day, when I see a commercial of a juicy burger, all I can think of is worm juice.
There is a point to this story.
Your beliefs dictate your actions.
Maybe you’ve tried to start a new nutrition plan or an exercise program. You start with the “action” of eating healthier or working out only to find you get distracted, disinterested, or disillusioned.
Maybe this year you’re thinking why bother? Maybe you don’t even want to think about making a change because what’s the use?
What if “failure” in the past didn’t have anything to do with your willpower or discipline but everything to do with your belief?
Any of these sound familiar?
“You are just going to gain the weight back.”
“You have fat genes and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“You aren’t consistent at anything.”
“You are just going to fail again.”
Yep! Me, too!
Phrases like this replay over and over until we start to believe them. Just like the worm juice, they’re totally false statements, but we listen to them, believe them, and our actions follow.
Until you change your belief/thoughts, your actions won’t make a difference.
The next time one of your untrue thoughts comes to your mind,
1. Write it down.
2. Cross it out.
3. Rewrite it:
I’m not going to gain the weight back because I’m choosing a sustainable lifestyle.
My genes don’t dictate my future.
I showed up today.
I have the tools I need to be successful.
4. Believe your rewritten statements!
It’s time for you to stop believing the story you’ve told yourself because it’s held you back long enough.

My confession...

There was a recent post in my neighborhood Facebook group that read: In search of a unicorn: Remote, work-from-home, part-time job Make my own hours Not MLM Not cold calling I've done Door Dash before but don't want to put any more wear/tear on my car. I'm an efficient typist. I have 13+ years of self-taught graphic design (Photoshop & Illustrator) experience. I'm tech-savvy, creative, and I learn quickly. Any ideas? It made me wonder why Network Marketing/MLM jobs get such a bad rap? I get it, I used to avoid the lady at my church who always wanted me to have a home party for her. And, I said “no” to all the people who introduced me to their opportunities. A few bad apples might have left a bad taste in your mouth too. However, I remember reading a book about Mary Kay Ash when I was in elementary school. The business she created allowed her to be present for her kids while also building a business. That was something I always desired. And the business model she created also made sense. It was a lot of people coming together to do a little which compounded into something big. As a stay at home mom, I was getting tired of being strapped financially and I wanted some play money. I didn’t want to work outside of the home because my kids were my priority and I wanted to be fully available to them. I was approached by my BFF about a business. At first, I said no and began to avoid her like the lady at my church. But, then I started to become curious about the business opportunity. I’d seen how well the products worked for my BFF and her husband. And, I remembered Mary Kay Ash’s network marketing business. This business opportunity wasn’t selling makeup, pills, or a face cream but a lifestyle change that would create a ripple effect for those who used the products. It was what I personally needed for my health and it made sense. I can tell you the truth about network marketing. It is the best business model I have found for women who want to work their own hours, has a small start-up cost, and allows them to leverage their time by working as a team. It takes hard work, diligence, and being coachable. You are the type who isn’t afraid to try something new and wants to create a ripple effect that can make an impact on generations to come. Let’s make a lasting impact together. More information about how you can join me in changing lives can be found here .
