Category Archives for "Tips & Lessons From My Weight Loss & Self-Care Journey"

I’ve weighed over 300 pounds. I’ve lost 65 pounds. I’ve gained 30 back. Once again, it’s been a tumultuous journey to say the least.

My journey with weight loss, beauty, and self-care has been an interesting one to say the least. My guess is that my ADHD like symptoms don’t help me at all when it comes to being consistent with things like weight loss journaling, meal planning. meal prepping, tracking my weight loss, and shoot, even just using a face mask consistently.

The struggle is ridiculous. However, despite my ups and downs, I do have one or two things to share with ya’ll that I think will help you too, on your weight loss journey (😉)

40 Weight Loss Journaling Prompts To Help You Change Your Mindset & Get Healthy For Life!

 

How many times have you started a new diet or a workout regimen but quit that diet within a week?

Ugh, I know…me too.

Too many times to count! 

When you do this it’s like you are always starting from scratch and spinning your wheels! 

Starting a diet, quitting, and then starting all over again a few weeks or months later is something I have been frustrated by for ages.

The cycle is vicious, and it takes massive willpower to come out from it and win!

Speaking from experience, weight loss is not just about counting calories, sticking to a diet, and working out every day.

Don’t let the commercials fool you.

It’s all about the right mindset.

Often our inner turmoil, doubts, and insecurities are precisely what holds us back to achieve our weight loss goals.

One of the biggest things I ever did for my weight loss journey was to start journaling.

Journaling may seem pointless initially, but when you address your emotions and thoughts related to your weight loss challenges, it’s an insanely advantageous habit you won’t want to lose.

That’s why I highly encourage you to use these weight loss journaling prompts that I’m about to share with you.

When you choose the most appropriate weight loss journal prompts or weight loss reflection questions based on your thoughts, you will begin to witness a gradual difference in your weight over time.

Let’s not wait any longer now and get started with the guide, shall we?
