I sit at this really weird crossroads. My job requires me to take in calories. I take care of myself. I eat healthy. I exercise a lot. But then I have to go to events in cocktail dresses and look fancy, and people want to interview me about what I’m wearing, and then I’m compared to people who are wearing size 2 all the time.

The first thing people say to me when they meet me is, ‘You’re so much skinner in person.’ You have to live up to these standards that are so unrealistic. I try to tune it out. Gail Simmons Read Quote

I run a solid 4-6 miles at a time, and over the last year two years I’ve gotten really into SoulCycle. It’s sort of an evolved form of spinning. Gail Simmons Read Quote
I cannot go to Montreal without going to Beauty’s, my favorite place for breakfast, where I have the Mish-Mash omelet with hot dogs, salami, eggs, green peppers, and onions, and the best banana bread in the world. It’s legendary! Gail Simmons Read Quote
I wish I could say I was one of those people who loves working out, but I don’t; it’s just not that fun. But I make an effort to work out aggressively three times a week. Gail Simmons Read Quote
I’m tempted by everything. My husband makes fun of me because every day it’s a new food that I love. I have a weakness for butterscotch pudding, ice cream in any flavor and dark chocolate, although that’s one thing I do keep in my house – 70% dark chocolate. Gail Simmons Read Quote
When I’m cooking for myself, I find that I eat almost completely vegetarian, although I’m not vegetarian. Gail Simmons Read Quote
At the beginning of the week, I roast a ton of vegetables so I can use them for the next few days. I also plan out meals in advance. Gail Simmons Read Quote
I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars, like Wogie’s in the West Village, New York City, near my house. Gail Simmons Read Quote
