I used to think losing weight would fix everything. I tracked every meal, every snack, every sip of water—my phone full of numbers, my mind even fuller. Some days, the scale moved. Most days, it didn’t. I’d stand in front of the mirror, pinching skin, cataloguing flaws, bargaining with myself for just a little more discipline. Even now, when I eat something I didn’t plan for, I feel the old panic rising. I tell myself it’s just food, but my body doesn’t believe me. The hardest part isn’t losing weight. It’s learning to eat without guilt. #FoodGuilt #BodyCheckChronicles #ControlIsExhausting #Health #Diet
