What you feed your mind affects how you feel in yo What you feed your mind affects how you feel in your body. This week has felt heavy, and my news feed seems louder than ever. And when you’re reacting to everything, it’s harder to hear the one thing--the voice inside that actually matters. Because consumption isn’t just about food. It’s media. Opinions. Distractions. And too much of it leaves you feeling anxious, restless, and disconnected. It affects how you show up for not just yourself but others, too. Find your peace. Sit in the silence. Satisfy your hunger for purpose, without all the noise. xo Lisa 💜 #BigFatSkinnyDish #UtteringsOfARecoveringDieter #FoodForThought #graceandgrit
Nectarines don’t get the love their fuzzy cousin Nectarines don’t get the love their fuzzy cousins get. But they really do deserve more props. The peaches this season have been, well… a little meh. Not awful. Just not the juicy, sweet, worth-eating-over-the-sink kind of good. So I grabbed some nectarines instead. And Oh. My. Peaches. Sweet. Juicy. Underrated perfection. The moral of my story? Sometimes, the best choice isn’t the most obvious or the most popular. It’s the one you always overlooked until it reminds you how sweet a different choice can be. And friends, that’s sound wisdom for far more than just fruit. xo Lisa 💜 #BigFatSkinnyDish #UtteringsOfARecoveringDieter #NectarineForTheWin #FoodForThought #BigFatSkinnyWisdom
I lost my voice. I stopped sharing. Not because I I lost my voice. I stopped sharing. Not because I gave up. Not because I’m frustrated. And not because I have nothing to say. It’s just that, well, showing up here has felt harder for a while now. It’s easy to share when things are going well—when the weight’s coming off, when motivation is high, when you feel like you have something worth sharing. But when progress slows, and the scroll becomes louder than your own thoughts, doubt creeps in. And suddenly, silence feels easier. Safer. The scale didn’t move much this summer. But I did. I showed up and kept on truckin’. I wasn't perfect, but I stayed consistent. I guess maybe some chapters aren’t meant to be loud. They’re quiet and reflective. But still worth sharing. So I’m going to quiet the scroll, keep going, and with a little grace and grit I know I'll find my voice again. xo, Lisa 💜 #BigFatSkinnyDish #utteringsofarecoveringdieter #progressnotperfection #gracenotguilt #weightlossjourney
Happy Mother’s Day to the unspoken superheroes—the doers, the givers, the glue-holders. ✨ We’re the kissers of boo-boos, a safe haven when life feels too big—and the ones who carry a weight no one sees. We are: New moms running on love and caffeine ☕… Seasoned moms juggling work, dinner, multiple schedules, and forgotten permission slips 🏃‍♀️📝… And empty nest moms still showing up with wisdom, warmth, and a well-timed text 💬. We give so much of ourselves that it’s easy to get lost in the mix. So today—take a breath, smell the roses 🌹, and eat a cupcake (or two) 🧁🧁! You’ve earned it. xo, Lisa #BigFatSkinnyDish #UtteringsOfARecoveringDieter #MothersDayMagic #HappyMothersDay
April's numbers are in... The scale doesn’t lie April's numbers are in... The scale doesn’t lie… and I’m learning not to take it personally. Honestly, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t let the scale mess with me—even in seasons when I swore I didn’t care. That number has held way too much power over how I’ve seen myself, even when I knew better. But here’s the thing: I’ve learned (and am still learning) that the scale is just one tool. It doesn’t know the difference between fat, musle, water, inflammation, hormones—or if I had french fries last night (which... I absolutely did). It also doesn’t measure effort, mindset shifts, or how many times I chose to keep going when it seemed easier to quit. I still use the scale for accountability—some weeks it moves, some weeks it doesn’t. 🤷‍♀️ But that doesn’t mean I’m not making real progress in the ways that actually matter. And I’m proud of that. I’m proud of me. xo, Lisa 💜 #BigFatSkinnyDish #WeightLossJourney #ProgressNotPerfection #RealLifeWeightLoss
Just a then/now picture—only in reverse. In 202 Just a then/now picture—only in reverse. In 2021, I was at a weight where I felt confident, strong, and healthy. More than that, I was in the best shape of my life. But despite all of that, I let the number on the scale dictate my story. Since then, I’ve experienced moderate regain, and with that came shame, frustration, and a sense of defeat. But in December, I made a decision—no more spiraling. I pressed reset. I committed to tracking, journaling, and moving again. Today marks 79 days of consistency. I’m down 14.8 lbs since my restart and 63.8 lbs since the very beginning. My goal now? It’s not a number. It’s not a size. It’s not about how fast I can get there. It's a feeling—peace with my body, confidence in my choices, and freedom from the scale’s narrative. And this time, I’ll know it when I feel it. xo Lisa 💜❤️ #weightloss #bigfatskinnydish #weightlossregain #healthjourney
2024 had it's moments! 2024 had it's moments!
January. The mother of all fresh starts. 🌟 It January. The mother of all fresh starts. 🌟 It feels like choosing a "word of the year" is becoming the new alternative to traditional New Year's resolutions. And honestly? It resonates with me more. Picking a word helps me set my intentions and goals for the year ahead. After a lot of thought and introspection, I’ve chosen my word for 2025: connection. 🤝💜 Let me explain. Between 2020 and 2022, I lost 117 pounds. But in mid-2022, I started gaining back some weight. Instead of seeking connection—with family, friends, or even this community—I hid. Since that time, I’ve gained back 67 pounds. In December, I made the decision to recommit and began tracking again through WW. 📋✨ Here’s the thing: this setback didn't negate all my progress. 💪 I refuse to zero out the hard work I’ve already done in favor of a "fresh start." I re-started where I was. Am I where I want to be? No. But I’m still moving forward. 🚶‍♀️ And this year, I’m focusing on connection—to others, to this journey, and to myself. xo Lisa 💜 #newyear2025 #weightlossjourney #bigfatskinnywisdom #weightloss
