Live fully in midlife and beyond
When you look in the mirror, who do you see?

So, earlier this week I talked about why clearing your mind is important.
Basically, learning to clear you mind can keep you mentally healthy and focused.

And frustration because what worked years ago doesn’t seem to be working anymore.
So, I want to share what I’ve found to be the BEST place to start if weight loss is your goal – and you’re in perimenopause (or menopause.)
Here we go…

Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but…
If you’ve got belly fat, I’m willing to bet you aren’t loving it.
Am I right?
So, when I’m saying “love it” in the title, you may be skeptical.
I get it.
For most of us, the reaction to belly fat is usually one or more of these feelings:
Disappointment, discouragement, disgust, and disbelief.
(“love” isn’t usually on the list)
