This was a relevant focus on our group call for Fat Burners last week and I thought to expound on it.
In case you weren't aware EVERYONE F's Up.
I know I certainly do.
Sometimes I F Up when I'm trying to do the, "best", version of something for myself.
Or sometimes I F Up deliberately - meaning I KNOW something would actually serve me better, but I choose to do something else simply because I wanted to in that moment (after having a Crossroad Negotiation of course).
HOWEVER one thing I wished to make clear on our call, was that when things are slightly less than ideal - but we're doing our best, and the end result was practically what we intended...
That is NOT F'ing Up.
I dearly want to help women walk away from the more frequent assumption that THEY are F'ing UP more often than not when something isn't 100% perfect.
No.
I desire to help Fat Burners feel like they are RIGHT.
That what they're doing is GOOD.
That the slight modification they made to the original plan was BRILLIANT.
We MUST be on our own side if we want to stay in support of ourselves and especially when we're aimed at consistently doing behaviors that are beneficial for ourselves.
And then lastly F'ing Up is part of SUCCEEDING!
I often classify what we do with regularity as an EXPERIMENT.
Some days we don't know how much we need to eat.
Sometimes it is unclear when our carb feast REALLY needs to be.
Or how long we can comfortably go before we eat today.
It's all perfect.
Our bodies will make our needs clear ultimately, and in the meantime we do our best with the structure we now live.
Check out this week's sharing on the matter.

WINS OF THE WEEK: 4/17
Can we just take a moment?!
These women are doing something that looks nothing like what most people think weight loss requires — no gym slavery, no restriction, no needing to, “be perfect.”
Just rocking a body that has finally been set up to run on its own fat.
And the results?
20 pounds down. Nine weeks in for J. Amidst STRESS, less sleep and a major life change.
9.6 pounds down at 6 weeks for C — and a size 12 dress ordered in February is already too big by April.
7.5 pounds in 4 weeks. C has lost over 1.8 lbs/week — with not a lot to lose. That’s genuinely exceptional, especially while enjoying donut cake+ on her carb feasts!
39.1 pounds down — and she’s in her 10th month. B casually shared that like it was nothing! Oh, and she just bought new BIKINIS for a vacation! Something she hasn’t worn since her 20s. 2 decades of, “not for me”, clothing now gone.
72 pounds down — and G’s in her 9th month, maintaining pretty effortlessly at 157. She texted me genuinely amazed. Because she can rearrange carb feasts around birthdays, stay flexible in real life — and STILL stay exactly where she wants to be. Not because she’s trying hard. Because her body simply works differently now.
44.7 pounds down — GOAL WEIGHT ACHIEVED in just under 6 months. And still going. M’s coworkers say she’s disappearing. That she looks like one of the kids they work with.
Her hairdresser today didn’t believe she was almost 47. No gym obsession. Carb feasts — or carb feasts 2 nights in a row — built right into the plan. This is what can be when your body runs on fat.
Most of these women do NOT exercise regularly. Whether that’s preference or circumstantial challenge - the deal is you don’t actually NEED to to lose weight.
Plus they’re eating carbs — cake, pizza, pasta, whatever they want — on their feast days.
They’re living their lives.
And the weight is coming off anyway, and staying off, because that’s what a fat-adapted, metabolically rebuilt body does.
And I’d love for YOU to understand exactly how that works.
