cravings are POWERFUL. while its easy to say, "just dont eat it"- it can be much more difficult in reality. cravings are biological AND mental, and you have to be prepared for them. when youre craving- remind yourself that this will pass. do not beat yourself up for having cravings. youre not pathetic for wanting cake, but you cant let yourself give in either. the minor dopamine rush youll get from giving in will be NOTHING compared to the joy of being thin. take a deep breath, drink some water, look at tumblr and look in the mirror. do not give in. do not give in.

Since I’ve been watching this French girl on YouTube doing her diet stuff I’ve decided to get skinny like a French girl.
Here are 10 things I’ve found in her videos
1. Keep breakfast small. A simple coffee (not a latte, no sugar) + a biscotti or other light food is all you need.
2. The biggest meal of the day is in the middle of the day for lunch.
3. Dinner is light as well—a salad, or soup.
4. Walk absolutely EVERYWHERE you can.
5. Don’t cut out specific foods/food groups for long periods of time or you’ll end up binging them.
6. Only eat out 1-2 times a week—even grabbing a coffee counts. Cook all your own meals at home or wait until you get home to eat.
7. Weigh yourself 1x a week and count calories.
8. During a fast, weigh yourself everyday.
9. Eat slow & thoughtfully without distractions. Don’t eat in front of the TV or scrolling through your phone.
10. Plating— veggies/fruit should take up 1/2 of your plate, protein should take up 1/4, carbs should take up 1/8 and fat should take up 1/8. If you want more carbs, take away the portion for fat.
