I used to joke that my body ran on fries and vending machine dinners. It wasn’t funny when I realized I didn’t know what real hunger felt like—just the jittery crash after too much sugar, the dull ache of being too full, or the guilt that came with every meal. Now, my wife and I are staring at a fridge full of vegetables, and I’m scared. Not of the food, but of what happens when the comfort of old habits disappears. Will my body revolt? Will I? I keep waiting for some dramatic reaction, but mostly it’s quiet—just me, missing the certainty of my routines, wondering if I’ll ever feel at home in this new version of myself. Nobody warns you that eating “better” can feel like losing something, too. #FoodGuilt #ControlIsExhausting #StartingOver #Health #Diet
