It’s all well and good reminding you that you don’t have to lose weight before the pubs open, but how do you actually rid yourself of the pressure to lose weight? Tally shares four tips to overcome it:

Stick to your workout routine

You know that working out makes you feel good, so keep up whatever you’ve been doing to help you through lockdown rather than changing tact to focus on weight loss. “I’m going to focus on getting my fitness levels back because I will be going back to teaching spin classes when the gyms reopen,” says Tally. “I’m so excited to be back on the bike because it’s my favourite thing to do, and I can use that as a motivating fitness goal.”

Personally, I want to focus on maintaining my training right now because I know that, come June, I will probably have less time for exercise. These next few months are going to be about supporting my body and mind before chaos (hopefully) ensues.

Disengage where possible

Unfollow, mute or restrict content that you find triggering, but remember that the pressure can be less intrusive, too. “Blatantly saying things about weight loss isn’t that cool anymore, so things may be a bit more subtle or ‘wellnessy’,” says Tally. “Don’t believe in transformation challenges or programmes that sell you a body type.”

21 June: no, you don’t need to lose weight before lockdown ends
