Beautiful Kensington mums – how are you? No really, how are you?
Everyone always asks how’s baby? Are they a good sleeper? How are their siblings coping, are they getting on? And of course, the answer to all of those questions might be a resounding yes! But what about you?
No one seems to ask us how we are adjusting to our new bodies or sleepless nights. Nor do they ask if we are managing to get enough downtime, eating well (instead of just nibbling the kids -leftovers or reaching for something sugary because we’re shattered) or having time to exercise for our mental wellbeing.
We thought about this, wondering what we could do about it. We are mums too. How could we help other mums if they wanted to lose a bit of weight without the pressure of having to ‘bounce back’? Or help them squeeze as much quality of sleep out of the little they might be getting?
What could we provide that gives us mums more energy, more confidence and just a little something that’s just for us?
This is where gloji was born.
What’s gloji?
Gloji is a 12-week, digital weight loss program, created by experts (our very own GP’s, dieticians and behaviour change specialists) However, we look at so much more than what you eat.
It’s not about trying to lose the baby weight, it’s about making time for yourself, making you feel good in your own skin and in your own mind, sleeping well and taking care of you.
We dig deep into behaviour change, habit stacking and the psychology behind health.
Our top tips:
Robyn Woodham, our Health Psychology Lead at Gloji (www.gloji.co.uk) explains a little more about the gloji approach:
- Throw diets out the window. No restrictions, no forbidden foods, no crazy exercise regimes, no quick fixes.
- Use small but targeted behavioural changes and lock in those changes until they become part of your normal routine. Shift your focus away from rapid weight loss and instead to balance, enjoyment, fulfilment and long-term sustainable change.
- To achieve this, a shift in behaviours and mindset is required. We need to know two key things – what actions do we need to take, and how can we approach making the changes we want to make.
-  Making drastic changes and a whole lot of them at once is a recipe for disaster. Willpower might see them through a week or two, but soon the cracks will begin to show. First the walk doesn’t happen, then you get so hungry you eat a chocolate biscuit. Then because you’ve eaten one, you finish off the packet. You then realise you’ve blown it, and drop the whole lot, believing you’re just not disciplined enough to do what needs to be done.
We are not about living like that. We don’t want you to cut out carbs or give up chocolate, calorie count or go by a points or syns system. Instead, we’d love you to spend the next few weeks and more with us, seeing how your life can be better with gloji by your side.
Focus on what you can add to your life (rather than take away) that will help you lose weight and live a happier, healthier life.
