The Skinny on This Week

Pilates is officially the new girls 'brunch'

Pilates is officially the new ‘girl brunch’ for Gen Z, swapping out bottomless mimosas for wellness-era socialising. It’s all about the skinny legend mindset - health, good vibes, and activities that actually make you feel amaze. Group Pilates isn’t just a workout; it’s a whole experience, serving post-class glow, better posture, and main-character energy. Plus, let’s be real—saying “I just got back from Pilates” hits different.

Tana's teeth are just...

​Reddit’s buzzing over why Tana Mongeau doesn’t fix her teeth, even though she’s got the $$$. Some think it’s all the vaping and bad diet catching up, while others guess she just doesn’t care or is too busy. Either way, there's a bunch of us across the internet that are seriously confused and concerned about why she hasn’t handled it yet.

THE SKINNY DIP

Society needs to stop glorifying fast food

The way we cancelled smoking? Yeah, it’s time to do the same with fast food. Why are we still putting greasy, artery-clogging trash on a pedestal? In places like Australia and New Zealand, you can’t even advertise cigarettes because they cause cancer—so why is fast food, which also wrecks your body, getting a free pass and even being glorified?

If we treated fast food like we treat smoking, obesity rates would drop just like smoking rates did. Imagine if McDonald’s had to slap pics of obese, sweaty people with bedsores and carers that wipe their bums for them on their packaging the way cigarette packs have rotten lungs and missing teeth? Bet people would think twice before inhaling a burger.

If you’re someone who is still fighting to hit your goal weight and get to skinny legend status, I get it—dodging food noise when it’s shoved in your face 24/7 with pretty, addictive ads is sooo much fkn harder. But if society stopped making junk food seem like a personality trait, we’d all be thriving, living our best skinny legend lives. Until then, remember food is not a reward, food is not something to get excited about. Food is fuel, don't just eat for the sake of it x

Lean & Learned

How I structure my day as a skinny girl who used to be fat

Let’s be honest—when I was fat, my days revolved around food. Wake up? Had to have breakfast. Bored? Mindlessly snack. Social event? The cheese platter hated to see me coming. Watching TV? Snackssss. Full? Who cares, keep eating and finish the plate. I had zero structure, and my body showed it.

Now? I run on autopilot. The skinny mindset is locked in, and my days are effortless because I no longer let food control me.

Here’s how I structure my day to stay lean, stay in control, and never feel deprived.

💦 Water First – Always

As soon as I get out of bed in the morning (well, once my retainers are out) I chug water.

Fat me? She’d roll out of bed and go straight for a milky coffee with sugar and a couple of slices of toast. Then she’d wonder why she was starving by 10 AM and needed a “little something” to hold her over until lunch (which turned into a muffin, a scone or some crackers).

Now? I hydrate first. Not only does it wake me up, but it keeps fake hunger in check. Half the time, when you think you’re hungry, you’re just thirsty.

🍽 No Set Eating Times – I Eat When I’m Actually Hungry

Fat me? She ate like it was scheduled programming

Breakfast at 7 AM, snack at 10 AM, lunch at 12 PM, snack at 3 PM, dinner at 6 PM, after dinner snacks at 8 PM. Even if I wasn’t hungry, I ate because the clock said it was time to eat.

Now? I listen to my body.

Some days, I eat breakfast. Some days, I don’t. It depends on when my stomach actually rumbles. Not boredom, not routine, not “but it’s breakfast time!”—just real hunger.

I don’t force-feed myself just because “you should never skip breakfast” (lies). I don’t eat snacks “just in case” I get hungry later. If my body isn’t asking for food, I don’t give it food.

This is a HUGE mindset shift that changed everything for me.

🥩 Protein & Fibre First

Every meal I try to think protein first, fibre second.

Old me? I’d grab a bagel, a muffin, or a bowl of cereal because it was easy and “yummy.” Then I’d wonder why I was starving an hour later.

Now? I eat with intention.

✔ Protein keeps me full

✔ Fibre keeps digestion moving

✔ Together, they kill cravings

🚶‍♀️ Get My Steps In

Skinny people move more—it’s just a fact.

When I was overweight, I sat all day. I drove everywhere. I’d avoid movement unless it was required. The idea of walking just for the sake of it? lmaaaaaao.

Now? I walk daily—not as a workout, but as a baseline for being a functional human. Steps add up, keep me lean, and clear my head. I don’t stress about “perfect” workouts—I just move.

If I’ve been sitting for hours, I get up. If I have the choice between an escalator or stairs? Stairs. If I need to grab something from the store a couple of blocks away? I walk. It all adds up.

🍽 No More Overeating – I Stop Before I’m Stuffed

Fat me? She ate until she was beyond full. Uncomfortably stuffed. The kind of full where you have to unbutton your jeans and sit there like a beached whale.

Now? I stop eating before I feel stuffed.

Once I feel satisfied—not full, just good—I put the fork down. I don’t need to clean my plate. I don’t need to “make the most” of a meal. I eat just enough and move on with my day.

💡 The Bottom Line

The way I structure my day now isn’t complicated. It’s simple, intentional, and automatic.

• 💧 Water first.
• 🍽 Eat when actually hungry.
• 🥩 Protein & fibre at every meal.
• 🚶‍♀️ Get steps in.
• 🥄 Stop eating before I’m overfull.

No obsessing, no tricks, no diets—I eat whatever I want, I just use habits that keep me lean effortlessly.

If you’re still structuring your day like a fat person, guess what? You’ll stay fat. Change your mindset, change your habits, and the weight will follow.
