🔥 Eat More Not Less 🔥⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ A big focus of the IIFYM/Flexible dieting community is that you can eat any foods you enjoy - even junk food - and lose weight. While this is true, and you will see results once you follow your macro and calorie guidelines, it often draws attention away from the balanced, nutritious foods you should be eating.⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ Let's be honest - a chicken stir fry is not as sexy as pizza or burgers. It just isn't. "Eat stir frys and lose weight" - not exactly peaking your attention is it? ⁣⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⠀ Obviously the idea of eating a big mac and dropping a few inches seems to good to be true, so it gets your interest.⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ And it is 100% entirely possible to lose weight while eating these foods - in moderation. But that's the sneaky secret they keep quiet. And as a result it's why a lot of people struggle with IIFYM - they are eating all these foods that they enjoy but are still feeling hungry and struggling to stay within their calories. Because they are eating all the calorie dense foods they enjoy, but getting very little in terms of food quantity.⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ When we say "eat less, move more", we need to be clearer. We mean eat less calories, not less in terms of food volume. One piece of feedback I always get from clients is how much more food they are actually eating than before - yet still losing weight. That's because of the food volume - more food, less calories.⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ Can you eat a big mac and see results? Of course. But if you're trying to make it a daily staple then hunger is something you're going to struggle with. Use it as an occasional addition to your diet when you feel like it - but always focus on low calorie, high volume foods that are going to move you towards your goals.⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀ . . . ✅Click the link in bio for more✅ ✅Click the link in bio for more✅ ✅Click the link in bio for more✅ . .

Becca never really got a good look at him the first two times they met. In all fairness, she was assessing the best ways to end the conversation. 

Now he’s standing just a few steps across from her and she can really see him. The dark eyes that aren’t quite brown, aren’t really deep green either. Flecks of blonde in his chestnut hair highlighted by the sun, framing his face. It’s longer than... Well it’s longer than she realized. Not that it’s a deal-breaker, it’s just that he looks nothing like... 

And he has a svelte figure - only broader than her in the shoulders. But not lanky, no. There’s a casual coolness about him that just makes her want to smile - as awkward as this meeting is. 

“Ready to go?” Haiden pulls her back to the present. 

Becca takes one last sweep - to the makeshift snack bouquet in his hands and back to meet his eyes. 

“Yeah.” 

She doesn’t hold his gaze long before she starts walking.

Hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely holiday! This week I want to share a very very rough (and more than 6 sentences) draft of the FATL Prequel I’ve been noodling about for a little bit.

The passage below the cut takes place after MC has given up her position at Edenbrook in favor of another opportunity and putting some distance between her and Ethan after their fallout. This prequel will tell the story of how she meets her fiancé. 

Enjoy! (and let me know your thoughts 😬)

Her cab picked her up at London Heathrow and drove the hour’s drive along the vast motorway and then down winding country lanes into Oxfordshire. Becca had resigned her position at Edenbrook three weeks ago in favor of a research fellowship at Oxford University Hospital. 

It was the easiest hardest decision she’s ever had to make. 

Quite possibly a stupid one, too, with only a year left until the end of residency. With Edenbrook closing and people losing their jobs and no idea what she wants, she chose somewhere else. Things had been strange working along Ethan since their fallout. 

She didn’t even tell him she was leaving. After all they had been through she couldn’t bring herself to face him. 

So she CC’d him on an email with her resignation letter to the Chief. 

Now she was starting a year-long contract across the Atlantic. A new job. A new life. New experiences. A new start. 

A chance to rewrite and forget.

yes it’s a very very rough draft of my idea vomit. i can’t wait for you to meet her fiancé that lives in my head and is a very sexy and very good boy.

For All The Lies 👀

eeeeeeep thank you pola my love for this 💕 For requesting the fic and indulging me now. FATL is my magnum opus 

“Are you happy?”

This line kills me every time. 

He’s resolute. All Ethan has ever wanted and could have ever asked for is her happiness - is for that goddamn radiant and infectious smile to permanently be fixed in her features. He thought he’d never see that smile again. It doesn’t matter if he’s the one who doesn’t get to place the smile back in its rightful place. It doesn’t matter that his life choices sent her away from him. If she’s happy, he’ll be okay. He has no other choice. 

Okay so the idea for this fic was two people who loved each other once coming together and accepting the fact that the universe had other plans for them. They still love each other but there’s nothing they can do. They’re happy with how life turned out even if it meant they weren’t meant to be. 

This line was closure. In many senses of the word. 

flashback friday: send me the title or chapter of a fic i wrote and i’ll choose my favorite line and why i wrote it

Honorable mentions: 

In a space of over 300 people they still had such a hold over one another - for time stood still and Ethan and Becca were the only people permitted to move.

Wrote this line because every time they’re together it’s like they live in an alternate universe. A small space where they can just be them. 

“How.. have you been?” they weren’t the words he wanted to say but they were the ones their situation called for.

That awkward feeling when you have so many questions and you want to pick up the conversation where you left off all that time ago, but you can’t because so much has changed. 

Still, it shook her that after all this time he was still paying attention. 

Even though you’re not in contact anymore, with the great power of the internet and social media, it’s easy to watch an admire from afar. He always paid attention and did what’s best for her even if Becca herself couldn’t see it at the time. 

It was as if the admission crippled him, his hands fell from her immediately and he took a step back.

Okay so this is the moment Ethan finally accepted she was lost to him. Not when she left, not when he admired the ring on her finger, but when he finally admitted the words he’d been trying to get right for years.
