10 years from now, you won’t care how much you weighed on Christmas Eve, 2022.

Stop worrying about the scale, & go make the memories you will remember.

Happy Holidays ❤️

🎃Remember:

Halloween candy tastes better without a side of guilt 👻

If you want it, eat it slowly, enjoy every bite, & then move on 🖤

Perfection is the enemy of consistency.

You don’t need to be perfect to improve your health & fitness.

You just need to - more often than not - do the things that support your goals.

✅It’s normal for the scale to fluctuate day-to-day & within the same day.

👍Don’t let the scale dictate if you have a good or bad day.

& remember, your scale weight has NOTHING to do with your worth ❤️

🫣 Freaking out because the scale went up!?!?

Here are 11 reasons your scale weight increased (that don’t mean you gained body fat) ➡️

No matter what or how you ate, don’t sweat it.

Ditch the food guilt, & carry on with your beautiful life ❤️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

If anything, food guilt just makes you stuck, miserable…

& no closer to achieving your goals. ➡️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

Feeling food guilt isn’t IMPROVING how you eat long-term.

It’s creating a vicious cycle of trying to be “good,”

To inevitably be followed by a period of being “bad.” ➡️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

Are your health & fitness impacted by how & what you consistently eat?

You bet.

BUT… ➡️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

…you still deserve to eat today,

& you still deserve to enjoy food. ➡️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

Food tastes better when served without a side of guilt.

No matter what or how much you ate this weekend… ➡️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

Your body is designed to change & grow with you over time.

But you’re supposed to feel ashamed that your 30 yo body is different from your 16 yo body?!

You haven’t failed - you’re just living long enough to see your body do its job. ❤️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

…because really, there’s always another THEN on the horizon.

Stop waiting to feel your best until THEN.

You deserve better. ❤️

[Emily Sopo @EmilySopo]

Delaying until THEN *feels* like a valid way to plan & prioritize,

But it’s just a clever way to keep HIDING from what makes you uncomfortable…

Ever said these? 

“Once work settles down, THEN I’ll workout more often.”

“Once I get past this deadline, THEN I’ll focus on eating better.”

➡️

Not getting the results you want on your fitness journey?

Pay attention to how often you’re using “THEN” as a reason to not take action.
