Let’s be real—how many times have you told yourself, “I’ll start lose weight after the holidays” or “New Year, new me!”? You’re not alone. Every year, women (and men, too) promise themselves they’ll get their weight under control once the holiday season is over. But here’s the truth: waiting until the New Year to start your weight loss journey isn’t doing you any favors, especially if you’re dealing with perimenopause.
If you’ve been thinking about tackling your weight, health, and hormonal balance, why not start now? Let’s talk about why waiting is the mistake and how starting today can help you see better results, feel healthier, and prepare your body for long-term success.
The Harsh Reality of New Year’s Resolutions: Lose Weight Now!
You’ve probably heard that around 80% of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions by February. Yeah, 80%! Why does this happen every year? Because when we treat our health and weight loss as a “someday” thing, we’re setting ourselves up for failure. You may be thinking that once the holidays are over, you’ll have more time to focus, but in reality, life is always going to be busy, and by the time January rolls around, you’re already a couple of weeks behind.
For women going through perimenopause, the longer you wait, the harder it gets. Perimenopause comes with hormonal changes that affect everything—your metabolism, energy levels, sleep, mood, and yes, your weight. If you keep putting off working on your health, you’ll likely find that your hormones are becoming more challenging to balance, and the weight that’s creeping on may be harder to lose the longer you leave it.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Start
- Perimenopause Doesn’t Wait for January
Your body doesn’t follow a calendar, and neither do your hormones. Perimenopause can start in your 30s (yes, you can begin experiencing it early), and it may last up to 10 years. The longer you wait, the more your hormones fluctuate, making weight loss even more difficult to lose weight. Starting now gives you the opportunity to work on balancing your hormones, boosting your metabolism, and learning the nutrition habits that will support your body through this phase of life. - Weight Loss Takes Time—Especially in Perimenopause
Weight loss isn’t a quick fix, and it’s even trickier when you’re dealing with hormonal changes. It’s easy to get frustrated when you don’t see instant results. But by starting today, you’ll have time to build healthy habits—step by step and lose weight sustainably. You can’t just flip a switch and expect everything to fall into place by January. Starting now lets you work with a coach who understands perimenopause, helping you adjust your diet, exercise, and mindset to make real, lasting progress. - Avoid Holiday Overwhelm
The holidays can be stressful—there’s no denying that. The idea of beginning a weight loss journey during a busy time of year may seem impossible. But that’s exactly why small changes now are key. Instead of waiting for a new year to begin a big transformation, you can start by making simple adjustments that will keep you on track. Think of it as a way to take control during the busiest time of year rather than letting it control you. By working on your goals now, you’ll have the confidence and momentum to keep going through the holiday season without completely derailing. - Consistency Over Perfection
The beauty of starting now is that you can focus on consistency instead of perfection. A coach can guide you to develop sustainable habits tailored to your body’s needs. Forget the idea of starting on January 1st with an extreme diet or fitness plan that you can’t maintain. Instead, you’ll learn how to make healthy choices, even on busy days, and adopt habits that will become second nature in the long run and help you to lose weight. - Holistic Weight Loss
When you work with a coach who understands the complexities of perimenopause, you’re focusing on holistic weight loss. This isn’t just about calorie counting or spending hours in the gym. It’s about addressing all aspects of health—your metabolism, hormonal balance, nutrition, mindset, sleep, and stress. Working on these areas simultaneously helps create lasting results that don’t just focus on to lose weight but on feeling better overall.
How Working with a Coach Can Help you to Lose Weight
One of the best decisions you can make for yourself is investing in a coach who specializes in perimenopause and weight loss. By working with someone who understands your body’s unique challenges, you’ll get tailored guidance that goes beyond the surface-level advice you often see online.
With online coaching, you can access support no matter where you are. You’ll receive personalized nutrition and fitness plans, weekly one-on-one calls, and daily check-ins to keep you on track. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. You’ll learn exactly what works for your body, which is especially important when you’re navigating the changes of perimenopause. Your coach will help you find balance, both mentally and physically, to make weight loss feel like a natural part of your life.
Don’t Wait to Lose Weight—Start Today
So, why wait to lose weight? Starting now gives you a head start on your weight loss journey. It allows you to build healthy habits, work on your hormonal balance, and feel empowered before the chaos of the New Year. Perimenopause won’t wait, and neither should you.
If you’re ready to stop procrastinating and start working on the healthier, stronger version of yourself that’s waiting to emerge, I’d love to help you on this journey. Let’s chat and figure out how you can lose weight and start seeing results today—not in January.
