Let Go of the Old You — She Wasn’t Meant to Be Forever
Let’s say this gently, but clearly:
the version of you that you keep comparing yourself to no longer exists.
Not because you failed.
Not because you “let yourself go.”
But because life moved forward—and you moved with it.
That old version of you?
She might’ve been fitter. More flexible. Lighter. Less tired.
She might’ve had more time to train, plan meals, sleep in, recover properly, not to mention her age!
But she also lived in a completely different chapter.
Today’s you is juggling more—mentally, emotionally, physically.
Work. Kids. Relationships. Stress. Hormones. Responsibilities. Decision fatigue.
You’re carrying more, and expecting yourself to perform like you’re not.
And that’s where the frustration creeps in.
The Problem Isn’t Your Body — It’s the Comparison
So many women are stuck trying to get back to who they used to be.
Back to the body.
Back to the discipline.
Back to the routine.
Back to the version of themselves that had fewer demands and more margin.
But here’s the truth no one says out loud:
chasing your old self will keep you stuck.
Because every workout feels disappointing.
Every meal feels like it’s “not good enough.”
Every pause feels like failure.
You’re not meant to become her again.
You’re meant to become someone new.
Meet the New Version of You
This version of you doesn’t train to punish her body.
She trains to support it.
She doesn’t eat “perfectly.”
She eats in a way that fuels her energy, mood, hormones, and recovery.
She respects that rest is productive.
That strength looks different now.
That consistency matters more than intensity.
She is not haunted by what she used to do.
She is grounded in what she can do now—and proud of it.
This version of you is fierce.
Not because she’s doing more—but because she’s choosing herself within the life she actually has.
And that’s a much braver thing.
How to Start Leaning Into This New Version of You
Here are some practical ways to stop fighting the past and start supporting the present:
1. Stop Asking “What Did I Used to Do?”
Start asking: “What does my body need right now?”
Your training, nutrition, and recovery should match this season, not a previous one.
2. Redefine Progress
Progress isn’t just weight loss or PBs.
It’s:
More energy in the afternoon
Better sleep
Less pain and stiffness
Feeling confident walking into a room
Training without dread
Those wins count.
3. Choose Consistency Over Extremes
Short, realistic workouts done regularly will always beat sporadic all-out efforts.
This is where Pilates and well-structured movement shine—building strength, mobility, and resilience without breaking you down.
4. Eat to Support Your Life, Not Control It
You don’t need harsher rules—you need smarter support.
Balanced meals, enough protein, steady blood sugar, and flexibility for real life will do far more for your body (and mind) than restriction ever will.
5. Get Support Instead of White-Knuckling It
You don’t need more willpower.
You need guidance that understands:
Busy schedules
Changing hormones
Mental load
Sustainable habits
This is exactly where coaching changes everything.
