I get asked often, “But isn’t this healthier...?” And my answer is always, BOTH are healthy - it just depends on what YOU want. I am not here to knock Reece’s and I have nothing against Justin’s Butter but I do know this: Some people actually feel satisfied with a JB cup and some people cannot stand the chalkiness of it but will eat it anyway, just because “it looks healthier.” • I’m here to say that you don’t get bonus points for eating something you dislike. There’s nothing holier about a JB cup (except maybe the hole in your wallet for paying $3 for a chocolate bar 😅) If JB satisfies your craving, awesome! 👍🏽 But if Reece’s is your preference than go for it 👍🏽.There’s no sense in eating 5+ different things just to avoid the one food that will actually satisfy your craving.
Resharing this because there’s always room to improve the inner workings of ourselves - the kind of goals that have the power to bring about true happiness + inner peace 🌈 Time and time again I hear women tell me how it’s not when they lost the weight but when they lost the diet mentality, did they gain their whole life back 🌱. When it comes to body shaming and gossiping about others - are these fundamental values of a true friendship or has this intimate relationship of yours been built upon hating the same people? Energy goes where energy flows. Where have you been directing your energy and how can you redirect some of it this week?💫
The only toasty thing about my apt this morning ☃️ Feels like winter is coming and this toast reminds me of the holidays! ...which can be stressful for many people surrounded by food and family, un-welcomed commentary about weight/body/appearances, etc. • Reminders during this high stress season: 1. Instead of focusing on the nutritional content of ONE meal, I’d like you to think BIG PICTURE! Remember, it’s not one meal or snack that’s going to make you gain or lose a ton of weight - it’s your choices over time. The holidays are a time to have fun and make memories! 2. You do not have to take anyone’s BS and allow their insecurities to project onto you. I know it doesn’t feel like it in the moment, but I promise you this has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the person’s own insecurities and demons. 3. Come prepared + Set boundaries. How to shut down diet talk? Be assertive and kindly reply with something like: “this convo is really not helpful for any of us, so let’s talk about something else.” 4. You can’t control what others do/say but you can control you. Stand true to your beliefs, who ya are! If you have any other tips, please share below❤️
Homemade dinners with Ronak are my favorite.. when they’re made in UNDER 30 MINS and especially when I look over my shoulder and see he’s editing my photos 😂 Isn’t this so pretty?! 😍 • Dinner: I had leftover spaghetti squash but you can bake one at 375 for 30 mins, face up. On another sheet pan, bake salmon for 15 mins (season with s+p, a drizzle of evoo). While that’s cooking, chop salad (see stories for kitchen hack) and microwave @pacificfoods tomato basil soup! Super simple and wonderful way to fit in veggies!
