I Ate Fast Food and Still Felt Hungry

I used to think ordering the kid’s meal was a win. Smaller fries, smaller guilt. I’d sit in my car, eating slowly, counting the calories in my head, feeling proud and empty at the same time. I’d scroll the menu for the lowest numbers, swapping out buns, skipping sauces, always negotiating with myself. I told everyone I was making healthy choices, but I never said how much energy it took just to order lunch. Sometimes I left the drive-thru with a salad and a headache, wishing I could just eat without thinking so much. The truth is, no matter how careful I was, I never left feeling full. Not really. #FoodGuilt #ControlIsExhausting #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet
