I Added Beans to Everything. I Still Felt Empty.

I read about pulses—beans, lentils, chickpeas—being a superfood. So I swapped them in for pasta, for meat, for comfort. I told myself it was about health, about doing the right thing for my body and the planet. But the truth is, I measured every portion, counted every gram of protein, and still felt like I was failing. I’d stare at my plate, waiting for the satisfaction to come, but it never did. It was never about the beans. It was about the quiet panic that came with every meal, the fear that I’d never get it right. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever eat without keeping score. #Health #Diet #FoodGuilt
