I Memorized Every 'Healthy' Food List

I had this list memorized. Avocado, fatty fish, leafy greens, berries. I could recite the fiber content of chia seeds and explain why cinnamon mimics insulin. My kitchen looked like a health magazine spread. Greek yogurt stacked in rows. Almonds portioned in tiny containers. I thought I was being responsible. But somewhere between counting antioxidants and measuring tablespoons of everything, food stopped being food. It became medicine I had to take perfectly or else. I wasn't preventing diabetes. I was creating a different kind of sickness. Every meal felt like a test I could fail. Every craving felt dangerous. I knew which foods would save me, but I forgot how to just eat. The irony? All that control made me more anxious about my health, not less. #Health #Diet #FoodAnxiety
