Wanna make something healthy🍅 and delicious😋 for dinner tonight (plus hear all about what *I* ate while I was losing weight)? This quick video’s got you covered!
Killer Bs, when we first start losing weight, lots of us are tempted to throw out all the junk🗑️ in our pantries and give ourselves a fresh start with all-new, all-healthy foods, right? But I think there’s a better way💡 to get long-lasting results, and today I’m sharing the secret of MY success with you.
We’re chatting about:
🍽️ WHAT I ate when I started🏁 my weight loss journey (Cheetos, diet soda and frozen pizza rolls? You betcha!)
🍽️ WHY I had success🏆 and lost weight, even though I was eating junk foods (this one might surprise you)
🍽️ And HOW I made changes over the years to eating the way I do now (spoiler alert: it’s baby👶 steps!)
Plus you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the way I cook at home, including a guest appearance from my cat Rosy.

Cook chicken thighs in a large pan with the olive oil, while microwaving the scrubbed sweet potatoes until soft enough to chop easily (about 4 – 7 minutes, depending on size and thickness of potatoes)
Chop sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks, remove chicken from the pan and add sweet potatoes and sauce. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return to pan and add black beans.
When black beans are heated through, serve with toppings of your choice.
