Megan’s Mission Coaching

You might think after maintaining my 165 lb weight loss for over 5 years and now coaching for a living that this would just feel like an every day kind of thing like “oh you look nice”.

Nope. This kind of compliment actually means more than I can express. Overcoming obesity. And still not being done- present day managing an autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia. Being told lifting weights is dangerous (if your doctor says this, run for the hills)

A different set of challenges but you know what, I’ve been having a LOT of fun proving to myself that I can indeed do anything, especially when someone says I can’t.

That’s only ever fueled my fire. Watch me. I’ll put in the work, I’ll put in the reps, I’ll do what it takes.

Maybe this sounds silly. I dunno. But let me have my moment. 😂

You keep telling yourself you “messed up” and once you’ve messed up, you feel like you need to start over.

You ate more than you planned, so you say screw it for the rest of the weekend because what’s the point?

You missed a workout, so you stop going altogether.

You had a week where you FEEL (feelings aren’t always factual 👀) like you didn’t make much progress so you decide what you’re doing just isn’t working.

So if your kid came home with a bad grade, would you tell them “well you messed up, might as well drop out of school!!” ..?

Gosh I sincerely hope not.

You’d probably remind them that they’re learning. Help them calm down and stop freaking out, figure out what they’re struggling with, help them make some adjustments, and then encourage them to keep going because they can do anything they put their mind to.

So why on earth do you expect yourself to get everything right while you’re learning too?

You’re going to have meals that don’t go as planned, workouts that get missed, steps that come up a little short, days where you’re over calories for the day.

You don’t have to keep starting over when you never actually quit, so practice “continuing” instead. That desire for perfection is what’s keeping you stuck in the loop.

Lacie’s lost 43 lbs in the last year, but funny enough, when I asked her on our call to share how much weight she’d lost, she didn’t even know off the top of her head because her journey has been so focused on her health and quality of life.

Seeing the scale go down feels good, but being able to say yes to more life, more adventures, and more quality time with your partner is PRICELESS.

Lacie and her husband have always loved hiking, but now she can focus on being present with him instead of worrying about whether or not her body can keep up.

So proud of you for this life you’ve created for you and everyone around you. 🫶

What the hell was it about the number 180?

Maybe it was the idea of even weighing less than 200 feeling out of reach.

Not knowing what that would even look like on my 300lb 5’3 frame?

It being sort of a “round number” that felt SAFE?

Can anyone else relate?

It was honestly more mythical than Onederland.

I will say once I hit 180, it was a very strange feeling of “wait… so now we just keep going?” 😂
