🧠 Mind Over Muffin Top: Summer Motivation Tools That Actually Work (Because Willpower Isn’t a Vibe)
Let’s get something straight.
Motivation? It’s flaky. One day you’re meal-prepping like a saint, the next you’re elbow-deep in a bag of chips wondering what happened. But I’m not here to judge (openly). I’m here to hand you the tools that actually help you stay consistent—and maybe even enjoy the process. Shocking, I know.
Ready to outsmart your muffin top? Let’s claw our way through it.
