if you’ve been trying to lose fat for what feels like your whole life…
or you’re in that weird place where you’re technically trying to just build muscle, get your metabolism up so you can diet better next time… but youre clinging to the next fat loss phase… wanting to do both now even, but it just feels like youre in between the 2 - this one’s going to hit.
because in part 2, michelle and i get into the bit almost no one talks about properly.
the awkward middle place
the place where a lot of women live for years:
half dieting - half building
half trying to be flexible - half trying to be “good”
still focusing on the scale
still freaking out over photos
still not really trusting themselves
and still not actually building the body they want.
so many women say they want body recomposition.
but the only proof we have been taught to chase?
The scale, the mirror, progress photos on the weekly… expecting them to look obviously different every few weeks.
that’s the trap.
because the body you say you want? that body is built through muscle. and muscle is slow. slower than your old diet brain is comfortable with.
so what happens?
you train. you try. you show up. then you check the wrong things too often. then you decide it’s not working. then you either panic, slash food, or mentally check out.
that’s why so many women live in this weird place where they’re technically trying hard but still feel like nothing is changing.
it’s not always that the process is wrong. sometimes the proof you’re looking for is.
this is what i unpacked on the podcast with one of my long-term clients. we went deep on:
scale obsession
progress photo spirals
why muscle-building feels invisible for so long
why women keep expecting visible change too soon
and what to focus on instead if you actually want body comp to happen
a lot of women are dieting just enough to feel it not enough to change anything & its the pace many of you STAY stuck…
if you’re over 30, over the all-or-nothing cycle, over feeling like your body should be changing more by now, and over pretending the scale doesn’t still get in your head…
this episode is for you.
because the goal is not to spend the rest of your life “trying to be good.”
it’s to build a body and a life that actually reflect the work you’re putting in.
more in this episode:
why maintenance is the phase most women were never taught
