Flourish With Marie

I used to think losing weight meant I had to suffer to see results. ⁣
⁣
So I kept doing the most… 🫢⁣
lowering my calories too much, forcing workouts I hated, trying to be perfect all week long… ⁣
⁣
And every time I messed up, I’d convince myself I ruined everything and had to “start over Monday.” ⁣
⁣
It was exhausting. ⁣
⁣
Losing 45 lbs finally happened when I stopped fighting myself so much. 🙌🏽⁣
⁣
I started eating in a way I could actually maintain. ⁣
I found movement I enjoyed. ⁣
I stopped expecting perfection from myself. ⁣
⁣
And instead of quitting after bad days… I learned how to keep going anyway. 🤍 ⁣
⁣
So if you’re struggling right now, maybe you don’t need to try harder. ⁣
Maybe you just need a softer, more realistic approach you can actually stick to. ⁣
⁣
If you need help getting started, I linked my favorite weight loss tools in my bio — including my meal plans and workout-at-home calendars ✨⁣

(If you’re viewing from Facebook, the link is in the comments below 🩷)

Whenever I have low energy but know I need to move my body, walking at home is always my go-to 🙌🏽⁣
⁣
I can be in the most unmotivated mood, and within 5 minutes of walking, my whole mood starts to shift. ⚡️⁣
⁣
That’s why whenever someone tells me they’re struggling to stay consistent with exercise, I always recommend 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸-𝗮𝘁-𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes the thought of intense workouts, lifting weights, or long cardio sessions can feel mentally exhausting. Walking helped me stay consistent because it felt simple, fun, low pressure, and easy to just press play and do. ⁣
⁣
And if you haven’t realized already 😂 my favorite walk-at-home videos are definitely Leslie Sansone. ⁣

⁣
My old approach to weight loss: ⁣
⁣
➡️ I was only focused on the amount of weight I had to lose & lowering my calories as low as possible. ⁣
⁣
This left me feeling impatient, discouraged, and I didn’t have a clear goal/focus. ⁣
⁣
My new approach to weight loss that helped me lose 45lbs in a year: ⁣
⁣
➡️ I literally ask myself, “What do I want to accomplish 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬.” ⁣
⁣
Having a 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 focus helps me break down my goal into small, manageable steps. ⁣🙌🏽⁣
⁣
It keeps me from getting overwhelmed. ⁣
⁣
It helps me stay consistent even on low motivation days ⁣😮‍💨⁣
⁣
And it builds trust with myself because I’m actually following through ⁣✅⁣
⁣
You don’t need to have everything figured out… ⁣
you just need to show up for 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆! ⁣
⁣
Rinse and repeat! I promise you’ll reach your goal! ⁣
