120. Breaking Old Habits and Creating Change: Real Life Stories from My Clients Navigating Their Fitness Journeys

The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘old habits die hard’; this has been a common theme among many of my clients lately as they’re navigating their fitness journeys and implementing new habits. This probably WILL feel hard at first, because changing your habits (even if you’re excited to do so), is never a smooth or easy process. This doesn’t mean you should give up on being able to successfully do so, but you have to figure out how all of this is going to look for you in YOUR unique season of life.

Maybe you’re dealing with the infamous #momguilt that makes you feel like you can’t prioritize yourself, feeling guilty about indulging in your favorite foods, setting healthy boundaries with your loved ones, or something else. Whatever life situation you’re experiencing (all of these are real examples my clients have been working through), you have to realize that while changing your habits is going to feel uncomfortable, it will get easier over time.

It’s totally possible to stay ‘on track’ and make progress toward your goals when you have the right tools and support in place (that’s where I come in for my ladies)! It’s also okay to go at a pace that feels doable for you, and won’t leave you in that vicious ‘I’ll start again on Monday’ cycle. Ultimately, your body, your health, & your life is your responsibility. This shit is NOT optional, and I know you have what it takes to create lasting change on your fitness journey!

In today’s episode, we cover:

• Why old habits die hard, and new ones aren’t necessarily ‘easy’ to make time for and implement into your life
• The never-ending struggle of #momguilt + the importance prioritizing yourself along the way
• Why you shouldn’t beat yourself up for eating extra foods & treats when you’re having fun and enjoying life
• Setting boundaries with your family and friends in social settings
• Understanding that getting ‘off track’ is going to happen sometimes + choosing to recognize it, get support where you need it, and keep moving forward
• Realizing that the state of your body & your life is YOUR responsibility + why it’s also okay to make changes gradually and at a pace that works for you
