These scenes in The Devil Wears Prada lmao

delete tumblr. delete myfitnesspal. delete any and all calorie tracking apps. go into your kitchen. right now. get up and walk into your kitchen. now make a pot of pasta or spaghetti. or make a salad with chicken or a smoothie. or make a few eggs with some potatoes. or heat up the leftovers in the fridge. or maybe grab some crackers out of the cupboard. don’t think about numbers. don’t count it. don’t measure it. don’t look up the calories. then sit down and eat the whole thing. don’t cut it up small, don’t wait until a certain time, don’t stare at it for forever before you eat it. cook it, put it on a plate, and eat it. maybe scroll through instagram or watch a tv show while you eat. like a post on your explore page about loving pizza without thinking of the calories or feeling fat. when you’re done eating, don’t go to the mirror, don’t go to the scale, don’t go to the toilet to throw up. then go on with your life without thinking about what you just ate or when you’ll eat next. now do that every time you first feel hungry every single day for the rest of your life.

if you can do that, fine. i’ll believe you. you’re “faking it”.

Fact: People lie. They’ll tell you “You’re perfect the way you are.” “You don’t need to change a thing. You’re already beautiful.” “Every size is beautiful.” 

They’re lying.

Fact: People treat you nicer when you’re thin. People find you attractive when you’re thin. People actually ask you out when you’re thin. 

Fact: Society is nicer to skinny people. Fashion looks better on skinny people. The world is easier for skinny people.

Fact: I know this from personal experience. 

When I dropped 10lbs, my brother’s best friend finally acknowledged my existence and asked me out. I said no.

When I dropped 20lbs, my ex wanted us to give it another shot. I said no.

When I dropped 30lbs, an old crush asked for my phone number. I said no.

Fact: If someone didn’t want you before, they don’t deserve you after. You’re worth more than that.

Don’t do it to please someone else. Don’t do it to make someone want you. 

Do it because you deserve to be happy in your own skin. Do it because your opinion of yourself is the only one that truly matters. 

Do it because you have been through so much. You have sacrificed so much and been so strong. You deserve this. 

Fact: It will hurt. It will be difficult. It will take time. Anything worth having always will. But don’t give up. You can get there. You will get there.
