Hello FS community! 👋🏻🌞

Sharing 2 more very VERY basic tips that have helped me all along the way! Seriously, log every single thing we eat...weigh it (grams is the easiest for me), measure it, count it, write it down, put it in our food apps, note the macros, etc but we need to own up to every bite🍴 It's the only way we'll ever really be able to track our CICO fairly accurately and know for sure whether our WOE is working for us. No shame, no guilt...just be honest with ourselves! 😇

Being patient is SO VERY DIFFICULT in the weight loss journey...but it's the best way to establish lasting (permanent) habits, learn more about nutrition & fitness (at WHATEVER level we can achieve results) and ramping up our self-care skills....this all TAKES TIME! There may be methods that bring rapid results, but the folks that are able to lose weight and keep it off are the ones that truly 'get it' about moderation & balance.

As we start this new week, let's remember to be mindful & patient...with ourselves AND with each other🌷💙🌷 I'm so glad to be a part of this community😊
