7 steps to lose weight (even after menopause) [slideshow]
7. Integrate it all well
This may be the single most missed item of all for women who struggle to get to their “loving life again” mojo. You are an integrated whole of all these pieces. If you, for instance, have a lot going on at work or in an emotional family crisis, this IS going to feel like a “workout for your body.” Reducing your exercise to avoid additional stress is warranted. Unfortunately, if you’re not doing well with this integration your approach may be one of feeling guilty if you haven’t exercised, or trying to work through the same punishing exercise routine.
Give your body exercise, but realize that turning your 45-minute workout into 20 minutes may serve you better during busy days and stressful times. Your hormone balance will improve and you may stave off weight gain that seems to come with stressful times.
Weight loss after menopause doesn’t have to be hard. Using these tips and the wisdom of your own body will help you bust through hormone plateaus. If you’ve been pushing (harder exercise), pulling (your hair out), and exhausting all the old bag of tricks that used to work, try a new approach and watch what happens.
