Spent 8 days in the UK living like a trash panda — saying yes to all the snacks, desserts, cocktails, the full vacation fantasy. From the outside, I probably looked like one of those “naturally thin” people who just eat whatever. (I'm 5’10, 145lbs.) But the reality? It took a year of maintaining a 100lb weight loss and being super intentional before that trip. I had planned ahead — dropped a few pounds, kept up my habits like intermittent fasting, and made sure I only splurged on the foods that really mattered. Even tracked as best I could, just to stay mindful. And guess what? I didn’t magically gain everything back. My clothes still fit. My body didn’t “break.” 8 days didn’t undo 12 months of work. Appearances are deceiving. Sustainable habits > crash diets every time. Anyone else feel like the world totally misunderstands what it actually takes to stay fit after a big transformation? 😤 #WeightMaintenance #RealTalk #HealthyHabits #LifeAfterWeightLoss
