The Munro Method, 8 Toptowie Drive, Denny (2025)

29/12/2025

This week messes with people’s heads more than almost any other time of year, not because their body has suddenly changed, but because they don’t understand what the scale is actually showing them.

Most people have been taught to react to weight rather than understand it. Up means panic. Down means relief. Every fluctuation becomes a judgement about effort, discipline, or whether they’ve “messed it up”.

One of the very first steps to stopping dieting for life is learning how your body actually works. How fat gain really happens. How fat loss really happens. And what weight changes do and don’t mean in the real world. That’s why this is one of the first things I teach when people come to work with me.

Once you understand this properly, the scale loses its power. You stop getting upset by normal fluctuations. You stop reacting emotionally. You stop sabotaging your own progress because you think something has gone wrong.

If you’re already realising that the problem isn’t food or willpower, but the way you’ve been taught to think about weight, comment ERA and I’ll share more about how this approach works.

Instead of spiralling, you stay steady. Instead of fixing and compensating, you carry on. Instead of starting again every few weeks, you build something that actually holds up.

That shift is what ends years of stop start dieting. Not more rules. Not more control. More understanding.

If you want 2026 to be the year you leave the dieting era behind for good, comment ERA and I’ll point you in

If you’ve been dieting for years, this probably wasn’t the first time you’ve heard something like this.

But it might be the first time it’s actually landed.

Most people don’t struggle with their weight because they’re lazy, unmotivated, or lack discipline. They struggle because they’ve spent years trying to fix the outcome without ever fixing the things that lead to the outcome.

From the outside, it’s very clear.
Different diets. Different plans. Different rules.
Same underlying approach.

And when that approach hasn’t worked for 10, 20, or 30 years, it’s worth asking a harder question.

What happens if nothing changes?

Not just this January.
But the next one.
And the one after that.

At some point, weight loss stops being about trying harder and starts being about doing things differently.

That’s exactly why I built New Era, New You.
Not as another reset.
Not as a January push.

But as a way to finally step out of the dieting loop altogether and deal with the real causes instead of the symptoms.

If you’re done repeating the same cycle and want to learn more about stepping into a diet-free era in 2026, comment ERA and I’ll send you the details.

No pressure.
Just a different way forward.

Most people go into a new year with the same goal.

Lose the weight.
Get back on track.
Do it properly this time.

But if that’s the focus again in 2026, nothing really changes.

Because the real issue was never effort.
It was the way food had to be controlled to begin with.

When eating relies on rules, willpower, and constant self-monitoring, certain times of year will always feel like a release.
And the weight always comes back with the rules.

So instead of making 2026 about losing weight, make it about something else.

Work towards a Christmas where you don’t need to control yourself to feel safe around food.
Where enjoyment doesn’t require switching off.
Where you don’t need rules to stop yourself going too far.

That’s the version of you that doesn’t panic in December.
That doesn’t “reset” in January.
That doesn’t spend the year bouncing between control and chaos.

Ironically, that’s also the version of you that reaches your goal weight.

And more importantly, stays there.

Because when food no longer needs managing, your weight stops needing fixing too.

If chocolate was the problem, everyone would react to it the same way.
But that’s not what happens.

Some people can eat a couple of squares and move on.
Others eat the same two squares, panic, and finish the whole bar.
The difference isn’t the food.
It’s the meaning you’ve attached to it.

And that meaning didn’t come from hunger.
It came from childhood rules.
School.
Co-workers.
Family.
Social media.
And especially years of slimming clubs telling you certain foods are “good” or “bad” and that you’ve failed the second you go off-plan.

Those messages stick.
They shape the way you behave long before you even taste the food.

This is why no diet has ever fixed your relationship with eating.
You’ve been trying to control the food instead of the beliefs that drive your reaction to it 🍫
Once you question those beliefs, the food loses its power.
You stop spiralling.
You stop overeating because you think you’ve messed up.
You stop treating every snack like a test you can fail.

This is the work that actually changes things.
Not cutting things out.
Not wiping the slate clean again in January.
Understanding the thoughts that sit underneath your habits.

If you want help with that, comment READY and I’ll send you more info.
It doesn’t sign you up for anything — it just lets me show you how the Festive Safe Space works and how it can support you through the next few weeks ❤️

January gives people a real boost.
Fresh diary.
Fresh head.
A bit of fire.

And that’s not a bad thing.

The problem isn’t January.
It’s what you walk into January carrying.

If you spend the next few weeks tired, stressed, reactive, annoyed at your own habits, then January doesn’t start clean.
It starts in repair mode.

That’s why so many people burn out by week three.
Not because they lack motivation.
But because they try to pour that motivation into the same systems that already failed them.

Same eating patterns.
Same evenings.
Same coping behaviours.
Same sleep debt.
Same stress loops.

The calendar doesn’t change those.
Your habits do.

January motivation does work.
It can change an entire year.

But only if it’s given a direction that actually fits your real life, not another all-or-nothing reset you’re expected to survive on willpower.

The people who make January work aren’t the most disciplined.
They’re the ones who didn’t spend December digging the hole deeper.

They arrive clearer.
Calmer.
More honest about what needs to change and what doesn’t.

They don’t start the year fixing damage.
They start it building momentum.

That difference matters more than any plan you pick on January 1st.

18/12/2025

Ever notice how some people cannot let it go when you say no?

It’s not generosity.
It’s not concern.

It’s relief they’re looking for.

If you eat like them, they feel normal.
If you don’t, they feel exposed.

So they push.
They comment.
They watch what you do.

That doesn’t make you awkward.
It doesn’t make you difficult.

It makes you the only one in the room listening to your body.

And that is not something you need to apologise for.

18/12/2025

You know why so many people struggle with confidence when it comes to food and weight?

Because they’ve failed so many times before.

They waited for motivation.
They waited for consistency.
They followed diet after diet, hoping this one would finally stick.

Every restart chipped away at their belief.
Every regain reinforced the story that it “never works.”

People who yo-yo don’t lack willpower.
They lack confidence.
Years of dieting taught them to expect failure.

That’s the real damage most plans do.

Evie didn’t fix this by trying harder.
She fixed it by understanding herself.

She stopped treating weight loss like a battle.
She stopped fighting food.
She stopped measuring success by short bursts of control.

That’s why she’s still where she worked so hard to reach.
Calm.
Steady.
In control.

December has a way of stirring all the old patterns.
Less routine.
More noise.
More pressure.

But this time of year can also be useful.
It shows you exactly what needs to change.
It gives you clarity, if you’re willing to notice it.

January doesn’t need another fresh start.
It needs a steadier foundation.

And that’s built long before the decorations come down 🎄

17/12/2025

If you stop eating when you’re full and someone makes a comment, that does not mean you’re doing something wrong.

It usually means you’ve made them uncomfortable.

Not because you’re restrictive.
Not because you’re boring.
But because you’ve done something they struggle to do.

You stopped.

That forces awareness.
And awareness is uncomfortable for people who planned to keep going.

So the jokes come out.
So does the pressure.

That reaction is not a sign you should eat more.
It’s a sign you’re eating normally.

You are not responsible for making other people feel better about their own habits.

This is Jade.
We worked together years ago.

Over the summer she messaged me from a changing room while trying on bikinis.
Not to ask for help.
Not to restart.
Just to tell me she’s still in the same place she was when we finished coaching.

Not because she “kept the weight off.”
Because she stopped fighting it.

She didn’t stay on track.
She learned how to live like a lighter version of herself.

She built habits she could actually keep.
She stopped needing fresh starts.
She stopped treating weight loss like a project that was never finished.

The weight didn’t stay off.
Jade stayed where she belongs now.

That’s the real goal.
Not temporary results.
Not another reset in January.
A life that matches the person you’re trying to become.

And this matters right now.

December has a habit of pulling people backwards.
Old routines.
Old coping habits.
The quiet promise to deal with it later.

But you don’t lose progress in December because of food.
You lose it because there’s no structure underneath you.

The people who stay steady don’t aim for perfection at this time of year.
They aim for awareness.
They protect their habits where they can.
They don’t let one season decide the next twelve months.

You don’t need to repeat the same festive chaos as every other year.
You just need a calmer way through it.

If your plan is to restart in the new year, that is not a fresh start.

That is the same thinking that has kept you stuck.

You stop now.
You promise yourself January will be different.
You feel relief for a few weeks.

Then January comes.
The scales move a little.
Hope creeps back in.

And by spring, nothing has really changed.

Same patterns.
Same frustration.
Same weight you swore you would not still be carrying.

That is how 2025 happened for a lot of people.
Quiet effort.
Short bursts of control.
Long stretches of giving up.

If nothing changes now, 2026 will look the same.

Not because you are lazy.
Not because you lack willpower.
Because stopping and restarting is the problem.

Consistency is what changes the outcome.
Keeping the coals hot instead of letting everything go cold.

That is the gap the Munro Method fills.
No resets.
No fresh starts.
No white knuckling January and fading out by March.

Just a different way of thinking that actually holds up across a real year.

If you want next year to end differently, the change does not start later.
It starts before you convince yourself to switch off again.

The Munro Method isn’t a diet.
Diets are what kept people like Marnie stuck for years.

She didn’t fail plans.
The plans failed her.

Slimming World.
Cambridge.
Herbalife.
Calorie counting.

Each one worked briefly.
Each one ended the same way.
Weight back on.
Confidence lower.
Another restart that felt heavier than the last.

What Marnie needed wasn’t another rule set.
She needed a way out of the cycle.

She found that in 2019.
Not through restriction.
Not through punishment.
But by learning how her choices, habits, and mindset were actually driving her results.

Five years later, she’s still in the lighter body she built.
Still confident.
Still in control.
Still living without food running her life.

Because she didn’t just lose 101 pounds.
She learned how to live like the lighter version of herself, day to day, in real life.

That’s the difference.
And it matters most at this time of year.

December is where most people either white-knuckle it or give up completely.
Too much food.
Too much pressure.
Too many promises to “sort it in January.”

But the people who keep their results don’t aim for perfection in December.
They aim for steadiness.
They protect their routines where they can.
They stop the spiral before it starts.

If this year feels like it slipped away from you, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means you’re human.

December doesn’t need to be damage control.
It can be the month you stop fighting food and start approaching January with clarity instead of guilt.

That’s what real change actually looks like.
