How to eat food and weigh what you want.

I was recently at a party with some of my best friends.

The same friends that have been alongside me as I have gained and lost the same 10-15-20 pounds over the years.

The same friends that have been my accountability buddies in countless weight loss challenges.

The same friends that believed exactly what I believed when it came to looking and feeling our best: calories in, calories out was the only way.

So we are at the end of said party.

One of the besties says to me, “How are you not so wasted right now?”

I was like “what? I only had like 2 or 3 glasses of wine.” (it had been like 4 hours)

She was like, “Well you’re skinny and you drank so you should be drunk.”

It was such beautiful moment for me.

I was not drunk because I had eaten a full, healthy, beautiful dinner.

But you see in the past if I happened to be on the downslope of the endless yo-yo (aka “skinny”) I would have barely eaten and would have thus been kinda drunk off of 3 glasses of wine on a basically empty stomach.

In my old life these two things do not belong together: weighing what I want and actually eating a full dinner. I only got to pick one. (read: I was constantly miserable in the area of my life.)

My bestie just assumed that being “skinny” and eating a satisfying meal are mutually exclusive.

I did too.

For way too long.

And then I found the holy effing grail to finally not having to starve myself to weigh what I want to weigh.

And oh yeah, bonus, not getting wasted off of like a glass and a half of wine.

Have the Best Week Ever + So Much Love,
