Why I Dissolved Vitamins in My Water

I used to crush vitamin tablets into my water every morning. It felt like control—like I could measure out health, one scoop at a time. I read every label, weighed every option, and convinced myself that if I got the formula right, maybe my body would finally cooperate. But even as the powder swirled and settled, I never felt settled. I worried about overdosing, about missing something essential, about the silent ways my body might betray me. I told myself it was just about nutrition, but really, it was about needing to do something—anything—to feel less helpless. Now, I look at the bottle and wonder if I ever really needed the vitamins, or if I just needed the ritual to feel like I was enough. #ControlIsExhausting #FoodGuilt #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet
