I want what she has!

Nov 10, 2020

How many times have you seen another woman and thought to yourself…

“I wish I looked like her.”
“Her life must be perfect with thighs like that.”
“If only I could fit into those skinny jeans.”

You gaze at her long legs and thin waist and curse yourself for not looking like that.

You start to wonder what she does to look like that. She must eat celery dipped in air to get
that figure. A thousand sit ups a day to get those abs. Or she probably runs 7km every day.

Suddenly, your self-esteem is in the gutter and you find yourself making a pact that you’re
going to start a new crazy diet on Monday.

Little did you know, she walked past and also noticed you.

“I wish I had her beautiful hair” she thought to herself. “And I love her dress, I wish I could
afford beautiful clothes like that.”

Here’s a secret: comparison is the thief of joy.

And now here’s another secret: What you dislike about yourself and your...

“Folks are usually as happy as they make their minds up to be”

Abraham Lincoln

New research shows that happier people are more productive at work, more creative and even more

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS FOR MUMS

Depression and anxiety is something that can hit you at anytime.  Many women can experience these conditions during pregnancy or even years after as the juggle of #mumlife sets in!

It is still such a a “taboo” subject amongst mothers and can often make us feel isolated, ashamed, lonely and just plain lost as to who we really are anymore!

Becoming a mother brings such a wide range of emotions so it is normal to first feel times  of passing sadness, excitement, nervousness of the unknown and at times a little stress. 

All parents move through a period of adjustment when they first take home their beautiful bundle of joy while they build confidence and learn what their baby needs.

However, depression and high anxiety is more then this.  Let me explain below

 

So what is the difference between depression and anxiety?

SIGNS OF DEPRESSION:

WHAT CALORIE COUNTING CAN MEAN FOR YOU

Sep 22, 2020

Learning to understand your nutrition and the density of some foods is a great step towards fuelling your body with the greatest nutrition of your life!

WHAT ARE CALORIES? 

Calories are a simple measure of energy in your food.  Kilojoules measure the same thing with a different measure; 1 cal = 0.004184kj.

1g of protein = 4 calories

1 g of carbs - 4 calories

1g of fat = 9 calories

1g of alcohol = 7 calories

PROS OF CALORIE COUNTING: 

Calorie counting will keep you more accountable for what you are putting in your mouth AND most importantly it makes you very aware of the calorie density of some foods you are choosing to fuel your body with.

For example:

Calorie counting takes the guesswork out of losing weight/gaining muscle or whatever your goal may be.  It is also great for feedback on what you can change through reflection of where you DID make choices not great for your goal. This will allow you to reach your goal faster.

Calorie tracking is great...

HOW YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!  

Aug 31, 2020

Can you even imagine never dieting again?

With such a strong pull towards our diet culture in society today, especially while we scroll through social media there is no wonder why women (and even men) feel overwhelmed and anxious about what to do to lose weight, get healthy or even what is the right thing to eat?

What if I told you there is a way that you can have your cake and eat it too?

IMAGINE IT! Only every focusing on what is FUELLING your body and never punishing it again!

This is what I call INTUITIVE EATING..

Intuitive eating isn’t as airy fairy as it appears to be. It isn’t a means to an end like every diet can be.  It is a set of tools (that’s right, not rules) and skills to give you freedom from food and to open up the rest of your life outside of food and body worry.

One of the biggest questions I ask my nutrition clients to ask themselves before they eat anything is… “Am I going to feel good before, during and after...

How to say GOODBYE to your inner Bitch for GOOD!

Aug 17, 2020

We live in a world where women struggle to feel confident, sexy, powerful and let’s not even get started on, in control of their lives….

This BITCH destroys every ounce of self belief, self confidence, self love, body image, dreams, hopes and happiness….one woman at a time!!

You feel STUCK!

You feel UNAPPRECIATED!

You feel ALONE even when you’re in a crowd!

You don’t even recognise the woman in the mirror anymore…..

Sometimes we don’t even know if we speak negatively about ourselves or others….it just flows out of our mouth before we even realise, an unconscious pattern that keeps repeating over and over.
