I Bought All the Veggies. I Still Felt Empty.

I used to fill my cart with bags of spinach, heads of lettuce, and bundles of cilantro—convinced that if I just ate the right things, I’d finally feel healthy, or maybe even whole. I’d line up the green beans and broccoli in the fridge, proud of my willpower, but by the time I remembered them, they were limp and fading, just like my motivation. No one tells you how quickly the good stuff disappears. Not just the vitamins, but the sense that you’re doing something right. I’d stare at my dinner, wondering if any of it mattered, if I was just pretending to be better while the real work—feeling okay in my own skin—never happened. The fridge is full, but I still feel like something’s missing. #Health #Diet #FoodGuilt
