Is you are a busy woman 30+ who has tried everything to lose weight

Im willing to bet you’ve thought “I’m a failure” when the plan doesn’t work and you fall off.

But what you think are “failures” are actually your stress impacting your body and hijacking your behaviour.

You don’t need more willpower or to “try harder”

You need a system that helps regulate your nervous system and an environment that works for you instead of against you.

So no, you’re not failing the plan

The system you are trying to run in a busy lifestyle is failing you

02/07/2026

Does this sound familiar? 👇🏻

Your avoid bread and pasta all week, monitor your portions and obsessively restrict your sugar intake because “carbs make you fat”

But the weekend comes and it’s a free for all: beer, wine, chips, candy, chocolate because “cheat day”.

When you cut carbs aggressively, your body doesn’t interpret that as discipline, It interprets it as threat.

Add the shame and guilt around your binges on the weekend and you’ve put yourself in the front seat of the cortisol show

Low carbs + high stress = elevated cortisol

Elevated cortisol = poor blood sugar regulation

Poor blood sugar regulation = cravings, fatigue, brain fog, irritability

So you white-knuckle it all day. Protein, coffee, salads, willpower.

By Friday, your nervous system is fried. Your blood sugar is unstable, and your brain is looking for fast relief.

That’s when the “lack of control” shows up: Evening cravings + eating and weekend binges on “bad carbs”

Carbohydrates are not just fuel, they help our bodies regulate.

Lower cortisol

Support serotonin

Improve sleep

Stabilize appetite

Reduce the urge to binge later

So it’s not the carbs that’s making you fat, it’s the constant stress and restriction that is controlling your behaviour

If this felt familiar, DM me THRIVE and I can show you how to regulate your nervous system, eat MORE carbs, and support your metabolism to lose fat without extra effort.

Hey busy woman 35+ who’s trying to lose fat and feel better but keeps spinning her tires

We’re 5 weeks into 2026 and maybe you’ve given up on your New Year’s resolution already

Maybe you never started on because you’re too afraid to fail again

If you’re seeing this, it means you’re at a crossroads

You can either continue to repeat the same cycle you’ve done for years and keep feeling exhausted, burnt out, inflamed and uncomfortable despite trying your hardest

Or

You can find out exactly how your stress load is f*cking up your fat loss and draining you every day and do something to improve it

Managing your stress isn’t walking away from responsibilities

Expensive spa days

Or a vacation (even though you deserve one)

It’s making micro-changes to your days to keep your nervous system functioning properly

to stay in control and to take your energy back

And make decisions that empower you instead of exhausted you.

It is possible for you to make a career, household, kids, family and other responsibilities

AND feel like yourself again - in control, confident in your body, energized and motivated.

You just have to make the choice.

Anyone can eat protien, get their steps and meditate.

But very few can do it consistently for their entire lives.

If you’re struggling to eat, move and sleep consistently, it’s not your fault, it’s because the system sucks.

It wasn’t designed to hold up under your stress load.

You can start the “perfect” plan, but if it’s not doable when you’re under chronic load, your brain says 🖕🏻 and defaults to old habits.

Information is not the issue, it’s ex*****on.

Once you learn how to stay consistent under chronic stress, fat loss stops feeling like max effort

And your life actually feels easier.

If you’re a busy woman 35+ and are trying to lose weight, the last thing you need is more rules and restriction.

Women come to me tired, burnt out and frustrated that their bodies stop responding to their efforts,

so these are always the first things we look at to start to increase their energy and create momentum:

1. Eat to stabilize the body and brain, not to be “good”

This includes protein at every meal, enough calories to fuel you and decrease the stress response, and place carbs intentionally.

Under-fueling is why so many women feel exhausted, crave constantly, and think something is “wrong” with their hormones.

2. Remove decision-making as much as possible.

Repeat breakfasts, simple lunches, planned dinners and pre-decided workouts. Anticipating roadblocks and planning “plan B’s”.

If your plan requires daily motivation and constant choices, it will fail the moment stress hits.

3.Supporting the nervous system first

This doesn’t mean get rid of everything that makes you stressed, it means changing your relationship with stress.

Setting boundaries (saying no), planning in advance, and micro-regulations like breathing and protecting sleep rhythms make you less reactive to stress and therefore less stressed overall.

Here’s the part most women don’t want to hear:

If you don’t change these things, nothing dramatic happens, and that’s the problem.

You just keep coping

You keep starting over.

You keep telling yourself you’ll “start when things slow down”

And months pass. Then years. You stay frustrated and uncomfortable in your body.

Not because you’re lazy or don’t care

Because you keep trying the same plans that don’t work for your busy lifestyle.

You don’t need more information, willpower or restriction.

You need a system that works when stress is high and motivation disappears.

That’s the difference between “trying to get healthy”

and actually becoming a woman who sees progress.

You think you just want to lose weight

But what you really want is life to feel easier

To not feel so overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities and also the fact that you feel like you’ve let yourself go

To not feel like you have to sacrifice your happiness, your time with family and your down time for your health

And to not feel like you have to worry about every single meal you eat

To not scrutinize every square inch of your body and dream about how it used to look and feel.

To feel good enough.

I built the resilient body blueprint for busy women who ate sick of feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed all the time

And want to commit to something that finally works for them.

The healthy habit you are trying to adopt only has one mode:

Perfection.

So in your mind, if you can’t do it perfectly every day, you don’t do it at all.

When you get stressed, your brain shuts off the area that’s responsible for following through on things that are out of your regular routine

And it wants to take the path of least resistance.

So if the only version of the habit is high effort, you won’t do it.

Setting this expectation of yourself looks like discipline, but it’s actually the all or nothing mindset ruining your progress.

Habits should be designed to have two modes: good enough and great

Great:
- 45 min workout at the gym
- Respond to all your emails
- House clean up
- Full Meal Plan + Meal prep

Good enough:
- Stretching or walking
- 1-2 important work tasks
- 15 minute clean
- Plan + shop for easy groceries

The “good enough” mindset is what keeps people consistent.

It allows your brain to feel accomplished and competent without feeling overwhelmed and keeps momentum.

And every time you show up as “good enough” instead of quitting, these habits become a part of your identity

And when it’s just who you are, you don’t need willpower. These habits become automatic.

So every habit you have, make a “great” habit and a version of it that’s “good enough”

And your habits become stress proof.

You don’t need to be perfect to make real progress

You just need to not quit.

It took me 11 months to lose 100lbs.

It’s taken you years to lose weight because you keep having to restart.

A high stress, busy lifestyle needs a simple structure that introduces new things slowly and intentionally.

It does NOT need adding plan that adds more to your already full plate.

With a new month here, this is a great time to get your head right for the month and build some momentum.

Take it slow, pick 1-2 habits you can do every day (easy on good days, achievable on hard days) and stick to them until they feel automatic, then add more.

If I woke up tomorrow with 100lbs to lose again, this is exactly what I would do - because this is exactly what works for sustainable fat loss.

If you want help designing a life you can step into to get results without adding more effort, DM me THRIVE.

Most women are already putting max effort into their days

White knuckling their work day through exhaustion and decision fatigue

Coming home hungry and tired and trying to scrape dinner together before they have to run out the door

Restriction food throughout the week to try and lose weight and feel better, just to end up binging and running the week on the weekends.

And laying awake at night wondering if life will always feel this difficult - if their bodies will always be uncomfortable to live in.

Habit change is effort too. It’s not easy to take steps forward when you’re already feeling like you’re at your max.

But the effort that habit change requires moves you forward.

The effort that coping requires keeps you frustrated.

You can choose where to put that effort. You just have to do something different.

Women think evening binges are a result of a moral failure in the moment

But in reality, evening binges are built over the course of the day.

Every “yes” when you want to say no

Every little decision you make with no breaks

Every skipped breakfast and working through lunch

It’s energetically expensive - and it all leads up to collapse at the end of the night.

So you can keep running on hot all day and blaming yourself for your sh*tty willpower

Or you can learn how to choose regulation throughout the day.

Regulate first, watch your binges disappear.

If you wanna learn how, let’s chat.

This is not meant to shame

just to highlight some common beliefs that keep women stuck and frustrated for years.

On one hand, you see yourself as someone who eats healthy, cares about her body, and puts a lot of effort into her health and weight loss.

On the other hand… the results aren’t there.

That gap creates tension - the brain hates tension.

So to resolve it, it looks for explanations that protect your identity:

- It’s my hormones.
- My body is broken
- I don’t have enough time
- Tracking is too time consuming
- It’s too expensive.
- I am too stressed.

Because shifting responsibility to things outside of our control is much easier than being honest about our behaviour.

The big shift happens when you’re willing to sit in the discomfort long enough to say:

“Okay… maybe my current actions aren’t matching what I actually need to do to reach my goals.

That’s not you failing - that’s you gaining clarity.

And once you see that clearly, the game actually changes

because taking responsibility also means you take back control.

And the results are beyond what you can even imagine.

If this post made you feel a little called out, that’s usually the sign you’re closer to a breakthrough than you think.

And if you want help closing that gap without burning yourself out or beating yourself up
