I went from a size 0 and tank tops to baggy shirts and leggings while saying “don’t touch my stomach, I just ate” real quick 🤰🏼
Started with the shared appetizers, then Starbucks dates, to ice cream, and cooking together...we were having a great time...the last thing I was thinking about was calories 🍔🍦
But then I realized that this weight gain train wasn’t stopping anytime soon, I was 3 years in and had never felt worse about myself 😞
👉🏼 If this sounds like you, maybe you….
...used to hit the gym after work and crank out a saturday morning sweat sesh but now that’s been traded for watching shows together after a long day and sleeping in late on the weekends 💤
...love spending time with each other and taking on new adventures, but little by little your skinny jeans feel like they’ve been sewed tighter and you’re tugging at your shirt constantly 👖
👉🏼 If this is hitting too close to home--here’s what you can about it:
🗣 Communicate. Having a supportive S.O is a game changer, but they can’t support you if they’re left in the dark. Catch him up to speed on your goals
👸🏼 Be the leader. Don’t let date night stress you out! Choose an option that fits what you need and go in being able to be present. (If making a choice is tough--give your partner the final say, but only give them options you’re equally pumped for)
👏🏼 Be realistic. If you love Bachelor Mondays with your partner, don’t schedule a Zumba class that night. We have to make your schedule work for you, not make you feel major FOMO.
⛅️ Get comfortable with being similar yet different. You’re different people, different bodies and energy needs. Get comfortable with being in tune with YOUR body! (which might mean making your own portions or swapping a side dish for veggies)
👉🏼 Your health and happiness should be a priority to yourself and your partner and little changes made consistently create massive results. I mean, just look at the women at @livelitefitness 😉
