you will never deserve the self hatred and self loathing you subject yourself to. you are deserving of your own love and compassion and forgiveness.

Do the work. ✨

A reminder that food is morally nuetral.

That unless a food is literally poison or an allergy, it is not a bad food.

Your body needs carbs.

Your body needs fats.

Your body needs calories.

Maybe you struggle with moderation or getting the variety of nutrients you need to feel your best, but that does not make the foods you regularly eat bad.

Put the dressing on your salad. Add the cheese to the sandwhich. Grab a cookie to have with lunch. Add an egg to your instant Ramen. Mix M&Ms and teddy grams and roasted peanuts into your cup of yogurt. Put whipped cream on your coffee. Add frozen strawberries or Boba pearls to your iced tea. Sprinkle tajin onto your fruit cup.

Food must fuel your soul as well as your body. It is doesn't need to be a battleground. It can be a joy.

Fatigue feels like you have sandbags tied to your feet while trying to walk. It feels like you haven’t slept in weeks. It feels like gravity is pulling you down. It feels like cotton balls are in your head, clouding everything.

Fatigue is NOT the equivalent to being tired.

im proud of myself for eating breakfast today!! if anyone reading this ate breakfast im proud of you too!! and if you werent up to it today, thats okay, im proud of you for trying :)

How does it feel to ask for a drink and instead you get a whole artistic experience.

Part of autonomy and body neutrality is accepting nonjudgmentally that people will do things that aren't good for their bodies, getting over the fact that many people will do those things on purpose and it is never your business nor your job to fix it. Yes promote the idea that we don't need to have cosmetic procedures done and push for people to examine their relationships with themselves. Yes advocate for people being fully informed of the risks of drastic weight loss and push for people to practice harm reduction if they plan to lose weight. But at the end of the day, what a person does with their own body is always their own decision and they should have every right to do that without a lecture (or people trying to interfere and stop them). You're not "body positive" if you get aggressive towards people who diet, have work done, or intentionally modify their bodies in other ways. You're not better than people who pressure others to lose weight etc. Ultimately you have to get over the fact that what people do with themselves isn't up to you.
