That is a Kate Moss quote I wish I could believe!
Today was rough. I have been creating a surplus of calories by eating tiny meals so that I can have dinner with my boyfriend and our mutual friend, but even with this surplus, I am still not able to have dessert and one of the side dishes. I am also cutting the appetizer in half! It kills!

I guess Kate Moss never had a banana doused in Nutella wrapped in a tortilla :laugh:0

I've heard the quote several times but I dunno.. chocolate covered cherries sure do taste good!! haha0

I don't believe that quote. In fact, I've noticed people who are overweight tend to not appreciate food as much. Think about the French culture-- they are obsessed with food but are known for being thin.0

That's a pro-anorexia quote.0

This quote seems very pro-anorexia to me (and if I'm not mistaken, has been adopted by quite a few pro-ana/pro-mia groups online).
I don't like it
Everyone deserves to splurge once in a while, it will help keep you from binging! Have a few bites of the side and share the dessert and put in a good workout tomorrow0 -

Exactly!! I HATE this quote so much! For me, weight loss isn't about being skinny, it's about being HEALTHY both mentally and physically. I LOVE good food and I'm going to enjoy it along every step of this journey. Weight loss shouldn't be about depriving yourself of foods you love, it should be about learning healthier habits. And those healthy habits include knowing when to indulge!0 -
She's never had a Rolo McFlurry before!0

Haha! I live in Paris (and my boyfriend is French). I am a huge foodie! That is part of my problem. I love it. I am constantly thinking about what I will eat next.
The French are thin because they have small portions and don't eat as much junk food. When I say small...I mean small. Breakfast is normally 1/4 to 1/3 of a baguette with jam or Nutella. Lunch is slightly larger, but not really..maybe a sandwich and fruit. Dinner is one helping of something more substantial.
The exception is when you are eating with friends and family, though. It is just like the holidays back home!0 -
Two responses to this quote.
(1) I've seen in a past forum a great reply from a woman recovering from an eating disorder who pointed out that skinny does not inherently equate to healthy and from her perspective, the difference is not trivial. Having never walked in her shoes, I still agree with her fundamental point.
(2) IMHO, people who throw this quote around have, I'm guessing, never had a really good crawfish etouffee, never eaten a slice of upside down pumpkin pie with a pecan crust, and never tried a really high-end piece of sashimi. (Or fill in the best foods you've tasted.) For me, it's about eating healthy most of the time...indulgences may undermine skinny but they are not an obstacle to healthy.
Cheers! :drinker:0 -

Oh god... I need one0 -
Kate Moss is a liar. Bacon tastes way better than skinny.
Kate Moss also has an eating disorder. So there's that.
You don't need to listen to Kate Moss. You need to learn to moderate yourself. To let yourself enjoy food, but not in over-sized portions. Have your cake, but have a small slice and only after a sensible, healthy dinner. Have that soda, but just one this week and balance it out with plenty of water.0 -
Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.
Far better.0 -
It's a pro ana/mia quote...So hopefully you don't quite believe the quote...0

It is only pro-anorexia if you are anorexic. Otherwise, it is a reminder of why you are doing what you are doing.
There are plenty of people who want to lose weight for appearances who are considered in the "healthy" range. As long as you stay in the healthy range, and are not underweight, there is nothing wrong with that.0 -
If she ate, I might believe it. Since she doesn't...0

Hmmm, now that you mention it, it does sound like it could be construed that way (pro-anorexia), but I never thought of it that way before. I must admit that I've said this to myself many, many times when I've been tempted to over-indulge. The phrase reminds me that reaching my goal will be more gratifying than whatever the temptation of the moment is.0

I hate this quote almost more than anything else.
This quote was made by someone who was strung out on drugs and had an unhealthy relationship with food.
Yeah, sure I want to agree with anything she has to say about food.
NOT!
There are lots of things that taste better than skinny feels. Trust me, that's how my tail got so big in the first place! :laugh:0 -
Thank you ninelives58, I agree!0

Yes! I like this version much better. Especially since I have no intention of being "skinny". At 53 yrs old, I need a little meat on my bones.0 -
