Next time you catch yourself apologising defending or explaining your food body or exercise perhaps ask yourself what is the underlying feeling or belief here that compels me to explain myself? How would it feel not to knee jerk react with a self-deprecating comment? ☺️🧠❤️.... …. #bodyimagecoach #womenshealthcoach #womensstrengthtraining #harrogatept #harrogatefitness #leedsgym

Body image
It’s important to spend time getting to understand your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and challenging them and building a more positive body image and self talk
But it’s also important to spend time thinking about alllllll the other incredible things going on in life. Thinking LESS about how you look and what others might think about you, less staring in the mirror, less body & diet chat and more just doing what you want for yourself for fun!
It can be exhausting living up on your own head all of the time, so make it a fun place to be too 🙌🏼🫶🏼

Food preoccupation
Relentless efforts not to overeat at the hotel buffet
Endless bargaining with myself over how much exercise I’d do when I’m back to allow for the food I’m eating
Worrying I won’t find anything “appropriate” to eat when out for lunch or dinner
Feeling super guilty getting home and needing to walk run train do anything to “undo” the holiday
It was bloody exhausting. And all it did was lead to more overeating and more over training and cycle back round.
You don’t even realise how much of your time and energy is taken up with this sh*t until you look back and realise so many of your memories are clouded with these worries and how free your mind feels now.
Some things I did to get me to this place:
🌟 Therapy. Exercise is not therapy. It can feel therapeutic, it is not therapy.
🍔 Stop over restricting on calories or restricting certain foods. Allowing more of what you want will help reduce the overeating and food guilt that follows
❤️ Detach how you look from your self worth. Knowing my worth beyond what I weigh and body fat % was huge in allowing myself to just be, live, eat, train for me how I wanted. Not to endlessly control my size.
This is really tough when we live in a society that glorifies being slim and demonises body fat, but learning and understanding all that was huge in shifting my belief from “something is wrong with me” to “something is wrong with societal beliefs ”
🪞 Acceptance that your body can and will change. We aren’t supposed to look the same all year every year forever. Find gratitude for it for all it does!
☮️ Your body your diet your holidays your life are yours to choose exactly what you want to do with them
Making choices that align with your values FOR YOU is ultimately what will bring you the most peace ✌🏼

🏋🏻♂️3:1 personal training 🥵 Strength & sweat membership 🏃🏻♀️ £12 PAYG classes💪🏼 1:1 PT & massage with @strong_with_katie .... DM me the word “TRIAL” for a free week 😃. … #harrogategym #leedsgym #leedspt #harrogatept #huby #otley #wetherby #bramham #outdoorfitness
If you aren’t struggling with your last few reps then you aren’t going heavy enough or for long enough. 💪🏼 When an exercise starts to burn STAY WITH IT. Keep going until you can’t go anymore 🔥 Working to failure or close to failure takes practice and is hard to mentally put yourself through, I’m definitely still practicing this! but on the other side of that is far better results 💪🏼 I find filming myself helps a LOT so I can look back and see where I probably could’ve squeezed out an extra rep or 2. 🌶️ Just going through the motions isn’t enough, it’s time to push yourself 🙌🏼 .... #onlinepersonaltrainer #gymnewbie #howtoliftweights #harrogatept #harrogategym #leedspt #howtogetstronger #upperbodyworkoutsforwomen
Eating to satisfaction
Satisfaction is SO important when it comes to enjoying food, preventing overeating and eating a sustainable diet 🥦 🍩
You can increase food satisfaction by:
- Eating a variety of different foods
- Adding more textures to meals, crunchy, chewy etc
- Adding different flavours to your food with herbs spices condiments
- Slowing down when you eat and paying attention to the food
- Eating food you actually enjoy! There is no need to cut out all your favourite foods ever
- Eat enough! You might not be feeling hungry at the end but have you had enough to satisfy?
- Make your environment enjoyable , comfy seats, relaxed, music, candles, company, good vibes
Learning to eat when hungry and stop when full is so important, but it’s just as important to remember our satisfaction too!

2024 weight loss posts…
Looool we all know it’s coming and do you know what… wanting to lose weight in 2024 is totally FINE!!!
What boils my piss is the shaming that comes with having gained some weight, having eaten a bit more than usual, having “love handles”, a change in dress size
The detox and cleanse restarts that are glorified disordered eating
The panic that is instilled in needing to get smaller again
And the lack of truth around how difficult it actually is to get shredded or lose weight rapidly and the potential side effects of doing so…
If you want to lose weight, I can absolutely help you. If you want sustainable habits so that that weight doesn’t come back on, I can help you.
But no detox. No cleanse. No juices. No slashing calories to 800. No surviving off coffee and energy drink diets.
Real food, real meals, real time frames, with adventures and good bants along the way
Sound good?
I have 3 spaces left for my January intake for the online coaching group 🎱
And 3 spaces for in person 3:1 personal training down at The Ranch
Message me “COACHING” and let’s have a chat about what you want your 2024 look like…
