Fruit is the ultimate meal prep food. It’s pre-wrapped by nature.

When people say they don't have time, my only thought is let's look at your screen time.

I tend to lose weight when I'm busy. I get too busy to mindlessly snack.

When there's a will there's a Way... Period. Meal prep, easy peasy recipes (on repeat). Invest in a walking pad. That's already a huge improvement

The biggest excuse I see nurses using everyday.

This reminded me of when I worked double shifts in the kitchen. I went to work in the morning and finished at 12 at night, plus the time to leave everything clean and the time to return home. I only had one day off a week. So a lot of people who worked with me complained about their weight, but they were eating all day, not just during their meal break. I don't understand, when you're so busy you often don't even have time to eat. On the other hand, I only ate at my mealtime, many times I didn't eat work food or I chose the healthiest things and if I had free time during my break, I would go for a walk. Then they told me that I ate little and I was thin by nature. And I wanted to laugh at them.

My 30 min morning walk is a non negotiable. I wake up 4am with intent. I go to bed early with intent. Being thin doesn’t come naturally. I would rather wake up at 4am and walk than be fat and feel self conscious in my own body. It is what it is. Love your videos!

I am convinced from personal experience going from 230 to 170 (still a ways to gooo) that people who can't get 10k, 15k steps a day are bad at their job, have a nasty car and home. Even on my off days I am able to easily get 15k steps from cleaning, cooking, walking my dog, laundry, etc not even taking a hot girl walk.

You're so spot on with all of it, Whitney! Unfortunately, there are so many people who don't want to hear the truth. Anything worth having in life requires discipline, planning, and delayed gratification. This applies to having a healthy, weight-appropriate body! If you want to eat healthy food, you need to prepare and cook it yourself. That requires planning and effort, and for some people, learning how to cook. Learn how to make your food taste good, and you will love it! I would rather eat my own delicious food at home than go to a restaurant every time. Same for exercise, and daily movement. It requires planning and discipline. Most of us are busy, and it takes effort to figure out how to fit a workout in. Add it to your daily schedule as a non-negotiable appointment with yourself that you honor as much (or more!) than any other commitment you have. There's always an excuse for why we "can't" do something we really don't feel like doing anyway. A lot of these excuses are actually valid! But, there's ALWAYS a workaround. Find what works, and DO it!

The whole "eating healthy is expensive" is one of the most destructive lies ever told, in the Walmart grocery section the cheapest thing is bags of frozen vegetables for $0.98 each.

One of my family members just got really upset with me because they used the excuse that they're too busy to workout and meal prep after making a bunch of comments about my progress, belittling it because my life appears to be "easier". I simply responded like "you're busy? but you're not too busy to eat? If you was actually busy you would be a skinny queen by now" 😂😂 Then she goes, because I'm busy I'm constantly buying snacks and ordering food. buuut when you order food it still takes 30 - 40 minutes for them to get to the house you could have made yourself some eggs and toast in 5 minutes. A can of tuna, a quick sandwich. You could have ordered groceries instead. go to Whole Foods or something and get a healthy deli sandwich or prepped salad, but instead you choose to get 20 chicken fingers, a large fry soda and a cookie???? Naaaahh, miss me with that BS It reminds me of Starbucks ladies who say they're sooo busy and that's why they go to Starbucks instead of make coffee at home. but then they sit in that long breakfast rush line just for a sugary, over priced coffee. My coffee machine at home makes my coffee for me every morning at a scheduled time while I'm in the shower all I have to do is add creamer to it and get in the car.
