đź’›how I stopped caring that I gained weight


January Online Group Coaching: For the womxn ready to unlearn body shame & live your life without caring what others think.

Between 2021 and 2022, I gained a noticeable amount of weight.
​
None of my clothes fit anymore.
It was obvious that the people closest to me noticed.
I lost a lot of my physical fitness.
And I struggled with intimacy with my partner because my body was so much bigger than when we met.

But something I had to realize, in order to accept the body I didn’t recognize in the mirror, was that my life didn’t have to stop just because I gained weight.

I didn’t need to punish myself by pulling away from joy just because I was in a bigger body.

I kept thinking there were things I couldn’t do anymore.
​
I thought I couldn’t be intimate with my partner.
I thought I couldn’t go out with my friends.
I thought I couldn’t travel.
I thought I couldn’t wear a bathing suit.

And the way I got over that was by proving to myself that I could do all of it anyway.

So I went skydiving for the first time.
I traveled across the country.
I horseback rode through the Arizona desert.
I hiked mountaintops.
I went out with my friends.
I dressed up for Halloween in a sexy outfit.
I was silly and loud in public.
I started a business.
I went on a self-love retreat.
I spent time with family even when I wanted to hide.
I laughed my ass off.

And yes, in the background, I was having hard moments.​
I was rebuilding my closet from scratch.
I was awkward in my body.
I was navigating intimacy with a new shape.
I was learning how to move in a body bigger than I’d ever been.

Accepting weight gain isn’t about pretending these things aren’t real - It’s about letting your life stay bigger than the size of your body while you go through them.

The more I kept living, the more I realized my body wasn’t a problem I had to solve before I was allowed joy.

So if you're trying to accept weight gain, build a life that is too full, too meaningful, and too yours to pause every time your body changes.

That’s what I teach, step-by-step, inside The Dream Girl Circle.

This is my 12-week live coaching group designed to help you:

  • Get out of the spiral
  • Stop letting your body dictate your confidence
  • Actually feel different in your skin

let's tap into body love together.

Sarah Simpson is a body image coach helping you defeat negative self talk & redefine “healthy” without a weight or pant size attached.

Sarah grew up always feeling like the “bigger friend” of the group, constantly aware of her size. She felt compelled to coach others to find confidence in their body & wellness after realizing how much her body insecurity was impacting her life.

She runs workshops & retreats, bringing womxn together. She also works with clients in her group coaching program the Dream Girl Circle, and in private sessions.

Ready to feel better?

Bali Self Love Retreat: Open for signups (SEPTEMBER 6-11) View Bali Retreat Schedule, Pricing, & More As a girl, I struggled immensely in female friendships, especially in groups. I was paralyzingly insecure, bullied a lot, and always felt like I had to beg just to be included. By the time I was 21, I was convinced I was just too much for people, but also not enough for people, and that I just didn't do well in group dynamics. What I didn't realize was that the problem wasn't me as a friend...

I wouldn't give a f*ck if I got fat, my boobs sagged, or I had wrinkles. In my head, insecurity about my body was just something I'd "grow out of," because I simply couldn't imagine spending the next 60 years still hating myself. But over my 6 years as a body image...
