Me, potatoes and being horizontal is becoming a bit of a trend at this point.

Apparently this week’s serving of potatoes was so good I simply couldn’t remain vertical🥔

But there is actually a point to my potato induced coma…

The best diet isn’t the one where you can survive on the least amount of food possible.

It’s the one you can actually stick to long enough to get the result.

You can eat less than your body needs to lose weight without making every meal tiny and spending your entire day bloody starving.

Build proper meals.

Choose foods that give you more on your plate.

Eat things you actually look forward to.

And stop assuming feeling full and satisfied means you’ve somehow messed up.

Because the easier your diet is to stick to…

the more likely you are to actually fu***ng stick to it.

Although maybe aim for satisfied rather than needing to lie down immediately

Or go through the same experience as me, I deffo won’t judge🤣

You’re allowed to WANT something without immediately having it.

And I think that’s something you forget when you’re trying to lose weight.

You fancy the biscuits in the office?
Doesn’t mean you need one.

You want to order a takeaway tonight?
Doesn’t mean you have to.

You see some food and think “God, I’d love that right now”?

That feeling doesn’t need to be immediately fixed by eating it.

And it also doesn’t mean you need to spend the next hour telling yourself you “shouldn’t” want it.

Sometimes you’ll decide you want the chocolate, dessert or meal out more in that moment.

Have it. Enjoy it. Carry on.

Other times you’ll remember there’s something you want more.

Your bigger goal.
The way you want to feel.
The promise you made to yourself.

Because learning to make that decision is a hell of a lot more useful than expecting yourself to magically stop wanting food.

And if I can apply that logic while staring longingly at my dog’s spaghetti, sausages and gravy…

I have faith in you.
And luckily for Taz, he kept his dinner.
