Stop Blaming Your Age! Fat Loss and Aging

So often we blame our age for the reason we’re seeing that middle age spread happen. But honestly, your age isn’t an excuse to gain fat or not feel and move your best. You’re using it as an excuse because it’s…well…easier than taking ownership. Harsh…YUP. But it’s the reality. It’s hard to take that look at ourselves and assess the changes we need to make. It’s much easier to blame something we aren’t in control of. Now I’m not saying changes don’t happen with age… But the changes we see with our body and even our lifestyle can be addressed so we can see results. The key is controlling what we can control and being open to evolving and changing our dieting and training practices. Too often instead of being open to changes, we push back. We say things like, “Well this used to work!” “I could just get away with this in the past!” Well guess what? You can’t now. And some of those things you did that you got away with are now the reasons you’re struggling more and seeing that weight creep on when you just look at a cookie. I’ve had this hard conversation with many clients over the years, but we have to let go of what used to work. You have to step back and ask yourself… “Is it working NOW?” Because that is all that matters. Are those dieting and training practices truly helping you move forward? Are they truly meeting you where you are at? Because if they aren’t, it doesn’t matter how much they used to work… They don’t match your body needs and goals now. And that’s really the first “secret” to avoiding gaining fat as you get older… Stop clinging to what once worked.
