"Federica, I gained 2 pounds overnight, what's going on?!” 😱

I often get asked this by slimmers, and the first thing I’ll say is, "Don't panic, it's not fat!"

How do I know this? Well, in order to gain 1 pound of extra fat you need to consume 3,500 calories MORE than your recommended daily allowance (which is 2,000 for a woman and 2,500 for a man). So, to gain 2 pounds of fat overnight a woman would need to have eaten 9,000 calories in one day! Pretty difficult, hey?

So, if it's not fat, what caused that gain? Here are 7 possible reasons:

1. You ate salty food yesterday. Sodium causes the body to hold on to water, causing temporary weight gain. Keep drinking plenty of water and it will be gone in a few hours.
2. You ate too many carbs. Your body will have replenished its glycogen stores. For every gram of glycogen the body stores, it also stores 3 grams of water! Go back on plan and that glycogen and water will soon be gone.
3. You weighed in earlier than usual, so there's probably still some food left in your stomach.
4. You ate later than usual last night. See number 3.
5. You need to "go". This weight plays a huge role in body weight fluctuations. It's temporary and will sort itself out soon enough!
6. You had a tough workout yesterday. This can cause temporary water retention and will pass when you drink your 2.25l of water.
7. Ladies, it's coming up to that time of month. Mother Nature is often really mean to us around this time and our bods retain water.

So stop panicking! Unless you ate 9,000 calories yesterday, I can safely say you have nothing to worry about! Just stick to the plan and keep going!

I came across this post and had to share 💕

Losing weight for yourself and for your own genuine happiness is one thing; losing weight to fit in or to please someone else is NOT ok. Remember, you are worth so much more than that number on the scales ❤️⚖️

Do it for you and no-one else.

“Let my girls be Hermiones rather than Pansy Parkinsons.”



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JK Rowling // "Fat’ is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her.⁣
⁣
I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain…⁣
⁣
I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’⁣
⁣
‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’⁣
⁣
What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!⁣
⁣
I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons."⁣

I have started to listen and to enjoy different podcasts.

“Better than happy” by Jody Moore is one of my favourites at the moment.

If you have some time please listen to this episode; she even mentions weight loss and how to make any goal easier to achieve by following 5 steps….

Happy listening!!!!

Dear returning slimmers...
⁣
The messages are starting to come in from people wanting to come back to me after being at home and living in PJs through lockdown, jeans are tight and the dread has set in at putting work clothes back on 😔⁣
⁣
So let me put your minds at rest......⁣
⁣
This post is for YOU - are you thinking of returning to me or maybe you’ve been meaning to book in for a while? ⁣
⁣
And in 'thinking' I mean you’re saying to yourself ⁣
⁣
‘’oh jeeze... I've not been in a while ’’⁣
⁣
“I've put weight back on’’⁣
⁣
‘’I've tried so many times now, ⁣
⁣
I'm terrified that they will think I am pathetic’’⁣
⁣
These feelings are what’s keeping me sad and YOU away from seeing me. 😔
⁣
BUT be reassured you will be welcomed back with a smile 😊 ⁣
⁣
MOST importantly there is no shame. ⁣
⁣
I understand 😊⁣
⁣
So... ⁣
⁣
Let's make you an appointment ⁣ 😊⁣

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀...?

How many times have you said ‘this won’t hurt, it’s only one thing’?

How many times have we said that and it’s quickly turned into a whole evening/day/weekend/week/month/year...?

Before you know it you’re looking back wondering why you made the decisions you did.... and how it was never worth it in the first place.

Does it stop you the next time?....

If this sounds like you then the next time this happens, I want you to stop, think and choose....

Make a decision…is that ‘large pizza more important than looking in the mirror feeling love and respect for yourself and a body that you love?

Is that ‘whole tub of ice cream’ more important than your health/well being or being able to do everything you’ve dreamt of with your children?

Maybe it’s that you’re loosing weight to have an operation, to not need a seat belt extender on the plane, to feel lovely when you’re lying on the beach in the sunshine - after all you really can’t get away with wearing your cardigan on the beach! Maybe it’s for your health, to be able to run around with the kids or grandkids without getting short of breath or maybe you’re getting married?!.....

What do 𝗬𝖮𝗨 want?

It’s so easy for 1 little thing to cloud our vision and take away our focus. It’s in these moments of weakness we forget our ‘WHY’.

So, Ask yourself again....

𝗪𝗛𝗬 do 𝗬𝖮𝗨 want this?
Is it important?
Does it mean the world to you?

Now if this is 𝗬𝖮𝗨.... then build yourself back up again, change your attitude, this is NOT a chore... this is YOUR LIFE, YOUR FUTURE
and it’s all in the palm of
YOUR HANDS.

✯ A positive mindset creates possibilities beyond our wildest dreams ✯

*Food is Fuel - not a measure of your morality.*

Remember, food is never about morality. Reorganising the language you use around eating is really important. ✅

Scrap the idea of ‘good’ days and ‘bad’ days. Ditch the ‘I’ve been sooooo BAD’ messages you feedback to yourself. Instead, have ‘on plan’ and ‘off plan’ days. We can also PLAN to have an ‘off plan’ day - which means you’re always in control. ✅

Food is just fuel - like putting petrol in the car. 🚙 We never feel guilty for needing to stop for petrol - just like we should never feel bad about putting good-quality fuel in our bodies in order to expend great-quality energy. ✅

Likewise, there’s no need to overfill your car’s petrol tank - when the dial says ‘full’ do you carry on filling up extra bottles of petrol to carry around on your backseat? Of course not. 😀 You don’t need to - because we know that the next time the tank is running low, there will be a service station handy to fill up again.✅

Food is the same - we are lucky enough to live in a time and country where there are no food shortages - you don’t have to overeat or fill up on extra calories 'just in case'. Simply eat what your body needs for the day ahead of you. This is the key to healthy weight maintenance.✅

Thank you to Michelle Toner for this FANTASTIC post!
