2-yoâs be so feral. No matter how nicely you put them together in the morning they look like theyâve been dragged backwards thru 7 bushes by 10am.

If you miss a day (or two) or falter, even in this first week, itâs not the end of the world. You donât need to quit, you just need to narrow your focus and keep trying to hit those incremental habit goals. You got this! đȘđŒ

Donât focus on the scale or on huge goals when youâre just starting out on a fitness journey. Instead, focus on building the habits that will make you successful in achieving that goal over the long haul.

For example, instead of deciding youâre going to lose 50lbs this year, you could decide you want to 1) strength train 2x per week, 2) eat 0.8-1.0x your body weight in grams of protein per day, and 3) get 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Use this blueprint to revise your resolution(s): limit yourself to 1 fitness habit, 1 nutrition habit, and 1 lifestyle habit that youâd like to adopt or change.

If youâre already finding your resolution(s) hard to maintain, chances are you are trying to do too much too soon. Instead, break your large goals down into smaller pieces.

Instead of quitting, try revising your resolution(s)! The first week is a week for refining and experimentation, not perfection.

By the end of the week, 1 in 4 people will have given up on their New Yearâs Resolution already. If you find yourself struggling, quitting isnât the only option! (a threadâŠ)

The trouble with love isâŠthereâs no trouble with love. Love is perfect. It heals everything, even the unimaginable pain we all feel right now. Lean out of hate and judgment, and into love! #loveisallyouneed #loveistheanswer #lovewins #godlovesyou

I donât know who needs to hear this, but food that is made in a lab or industrially derived will never be better for you than food that occurs in nature and is derived from natural sources. Even if that food is MEAT đ„© #carnivorediet #ketolifestyle

Our conditioning to stay (metaphysically) small can keep us stuck as (physically) large. #obesity #weightloss #bodypositivity

Weight loss doesnât have to be about achieving an impossible ideal. It should be about small, gradual change. Even losing 5-10% of your body weight can drastically improve your risk of health problems. #bodypositive #weightloss

Thin people telling fat people on the internet how they should feel about their bodies and weight loss is wrong & paternalistic. I can handle the discomfort that acknowledging the health risks of obesity presents. I do have very thick skin đ. Thanks for your concern! #obesity

Diet brain: â eat less â move more â if you arenât losing weight itâs because you lack discipline. Work harder. BoPo brain: â
nutrient dense food â
the right types of movement in the right amount â
losing weight is about changing your lifestyle not deprivation! #weightloss

2017 me: all talk of weight loss is bad and predatory and evil and anyone who does it is wrong. <<Gains 70 lbs, now obese>> 2022 me: sorry for what I said back then, you can lose weight and still love your body. âđŒâ€ïž #weightlossjourney

You can find a balance between self love, healing, and weight loss. It doesnât have to be all-or-nothing. #weightloss #bodypositivity
