Maybe you told yourself that 2025 would be the year you finally lost weight. And maybe… it wasn’t. If that’s you, I want you to know this straight away — you’re not broken, lazy, or lacking willpower. I can look back over the last 40 years and remember setting a weight-loss goal almost every New Year. Sometimes it was to be 55kg. Sometimes, to lose 10, 20, or even 30 kilos. Different year. Same promise. And if I’m honest, often the same outcome. As soon as I slipped up, that familiar voice would appear: “I told you so. I knew you couldn't do this” And once that voice took over, self-sabotage followed. If this sounds familiar, you are far from alone. The truth is, for most women — especially in midlife — it’s not really the food that needs to change first. It’s how we think about ourselves and food. The real question isn’t: “Can I lose weight?” "It's will I lose weight?" “Am I prepared to lose weight in 2026 — even when it’s uncomfortable?” Am I willing to eat on purpose instead of emotionally? To fuel the woman I want to become, not just soothe how I feel in the moment? My word for 2026 is energy. I have a big year planned, and I know this now with certainty: Energy doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from how you live — what you eat, how you move, how you sleep, and how you manage stress. If You’re Ready for Support. If you’re a woman in midlife who knows she needs structure, accountability, and support — not another extreme plan — my Lose 10kg in 12 Weeks program may be right for you.
