the road to skinny is paved with pizza.
No, really. It kinda is. You know how? with a balanced diet. I'm not talking about eating pizza 3 meals a day, 7 days a week. I'm talking about having it once a week and being mindful of not overeating. One thing I get a lot is "how did you lose so much weight?!" and the answer is fairly simple. You watch what you eat, and no, I don't mean the "see food" diet. I mean the diet where you count out a serving or pretzels, you weigh your cheese to the gram and you switch to diet Dr.Pepper instead of the real stuff. You drink water until your pee is clear and you stop eating bowls of cereal after dinner. You pick up some weights and move your ass. It's not nearly as complicated as people want to make it. There isn't a magic pill to shrink your fat cells (or fat ass) and there isn't a "detox" (which by the way isn't really a thing unless you're an alcoholic or drug addict...and if you're one of those things and are reading this, you have bigger fish to fry than a few extra pounds).
The one thing people just don't want to accept is that it's hard. It's really fucking hard to lose weight. You have to say no to doughnuts when everyone else is stuffing their faces with fresh Krispy Kreme and if you're like me, you have to learn to deal with the problem instead of eating a candy bar. Because I'll tell you this, an hour after you've eaten said candy bar, the original problem is still there and you've consumed an excess amount of unaccounted for calories. Then I typically feel worse than I did before I ate the candy. I'm not saying you can't have candy, I'm just saying that it needs to be portion controlled and fit in you macros, points or calories, not just your mouth. If you have weight to lose, the best thing I could ever tell you is that you just have to work. Day in and day out, you watch what you eat, you move your ass (especially when you don't feel like it) and deal one day at a time. Stop worrying about the loose skin you're gonna have (if you have a large amount to lose) or being between pants sizes.
One step at a time, keep moving. Stop letting one mishap completely derail you. Just know that it takes time, and it's hard fucking work.
That's how you get down the road to skinny that is paved with pizza.
