Questions asked by THRIVE clients:

1. Why is shopping for clothes so stressful for women, especially with inconsistent sizing across different brands?

2. How do I stop being so hard on myself for missing workouts when I’m juggling work and kids? How can I ‘meet myself where I’m at’ without feeling guilty?

3. How can I enjoy all the social plans coming up to Christmas without losing motivation or feeling thrown off track afterwards?

4. Is it okay that I sometimes can’t finish my workouts before work/when it's crazy busy after work and then complete the leftover exercises at the weekend?

5. How do I stay accountable and push myself with weights when I don’t have an in-person trainer? I know I can lift heavier but I hold back when I’m on my own.

6. When my partner cooks with butter, cream, or sugar and I can’t weigh the ingredients, is it okay to just have smaller portions and roughly log the calories?

7. I’m away in London for four days and worried about losing progress and struggling to get back on track afterwards. Any tips for managing this?

8. How do I stop the ‘feck it mentality’ when I make a good choice, like cooking my own fakeaway, but then start picking at my friends’ takeaway?

9. I’m often 200–250 calories below target and end up eating staff-room snacks just to hit my calories, even when I’ve already had a treat. It leaves me feeling guilty for not saying no. Any advice?

10. Any tips for managing around alcohol in general?
