For The Moms Working on Themselves—We See You
If you’re a mom working hard to lose weight, get stronger, and create a healthier life for yourself and your family—this is for you.
We know it’s not easy. You’re juggling work, kids, meals, laundry, school drop-offs, and a million other things. Some days, your goals feel within reach. Other days, they feel impossible. But through it all, you are showing up—and that matters.
And to the women who aren’t moms but are still pushing forward in their own health journeys—we see you, too. Whether you’re navigating a busy career, working through personal struggles, or just trying to find balance in the chaos of life, your hard work is just as important. Taking care of yourself is never easy, but you’re doing it. And that’s something to be proud of.
So whether you’re a mom leading by example for your kids or a woman proving to herself that she’s capable of more—keep going. Your effort isn’t wasted, your progress matters, and you’re doing better than you think. 💛
If you’ve been struggling with consistency or feeling like your progress isn’t happening fast enough, take a deep breath and keep reading. You’re doing better than you think. And with a few mindset shifts, you can keep pushing forward.
1. Action Breeds Motivation—Not the Other Way Around
So many people think they need to feel motivated before they take action. But the truth is, motivation doesn’t just appear—it comes from taking action. The more you do, the more motivated you become.
Ever noticed how you never regret a workout once it’s done? Or how eating a balanced meal makes you want to keep making good choices? That’s action creating momentum.
Start small—aim for just 5-10 minutes of movement if a full workout feels overwhelming. Most of the time, you’ll keep going!
Focus on one meal at a time. Don’t stress about the whole day—just make the next meal a nourishing one.
Set a 5-minute rule—if you don’t feel like doing something, commit to just 5 minutes. If you want to stop after that, fine—but chances are, you won’t!
2. Little Wins Add Up to Big Outcomes
We tend to focus on how far we have to go rather than recognizing the progress we’re making. But the reality is, small, consistent efforts lead to massive results over time.
Think about it: drinking more water, adding protein to your meals, getting more steps, sleeping better—these don’t seem like huge things in the moment. But stacked together, they transform your health.
Celebrate small wins. Drank enough water? Ate a balanced meal? Got a short workout in? That’s progress. Write it down, acknowledge it, and keep going.
Don’t fall into the “all or nothing” trap. One “off” meal doesn’t ruin everything. Get right back on track with your next choice.
Track habits, not just weight. Keep a checklist of small wins—water intake, movement, protein, steps—so you can see how much progress you’re really making.
3. Your Kids Are Watching—And Learning From You
You may not realize it, but your kids are paying attention. They see you choosing movement, prioritizing nutrition, and taking care of yourself. And whether they say it or not, those actions are shaping how they view health and self-care.
Your journey isn’t just for you—it’s setting an example for them. They’re learning that exercise isn’t punishment, food isn’t about guilt, and taking care of yourself is important.
Make movement a family thing. Go for walks, have dance parties, or do quick workouts while they play. It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to happen.
Talk about food in a positive way. Instead of “I can’t have that,” say “I’m choosing this because it makes me feel good.”
Let them see you prioritize yourself. Whether it’s a workout, meal prep, or just sitting down to eat instead of grazing on their leftovers—show them that you matter, too.
4. You Deserve This
Being a great mom doesn’t mean putting yourself last. In fact, the better you take care of yourself, the better you can take care of everyone else. You are not just a mom. You are a person with goals, dreams, and a body that deserves to be nourished and cared for. You are worth the effort.
Will it be hard? Yes. Will there be days you don’t feel like it? Absolutely. But the time is going to pass anyway. A year from now, you’ll either be stuck in the same place, frustrated with how you feel… or you’ll be stronger, healthier, and proud of yourself for showing up—even when it was hard.
Reframe self-care. It’s not selfish—it’s necessary. Your energy, mood, and patience all improve when you take care of yourself.
Find support. Whether it’s a friend, a coach, or an online community, having people in your corner makes all the difference.
Give yourself grace. Some days will be better than others. Keep showing up. The only way to fail is to quit.
You are doing better than you think. You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to keep going. One step, one meal, one workout at a time. And one day, you’ll look back and realize how far you’ve come. Keep going. You’ve got this.
