Diet culture loves to sort food and bodies into "good" and "bad." Black and white, all or nothing, binary thinking takes us out of our bodies and into our heads second-guessing every craving, every hunger cue.
Many of us are born with some ability to sense hunger and fullness. But for lots of people including those with trauma histories or who are neurodivergent that connection was never simple to begin with. And that's not a personal failure.
So when "just eat intuitively" gets pushed as the answer, it can leave you feeling like you're doing it wrong. Really, the framework just wasn't built with your brain, body, or history in mind.
What can help instead:
🌱 Get curious about the parts of you, thier messages and how they might be trying to help or protect you
🌱 Hold space for all parts with curiosity, not shame or judgement
🌱 Remember wanting to change your body isn't a moral failing it's a normal response to the broader systemic, social and societal constructs of imperialism, capitalism, racism healthism, weight stigma and fat phobia to name a few
You can learn what differentparts of ypu need and want, and make choices that reflect your values
