CrimsonCascade+FollowI Never Tasted What I Was EatingI realized I'd been eating like a robot for months. Chips while scrolling. Cookies during meetings. Dinner in front of Netflix. My body kept score even when my brain checked out. The scale crept up while I wasn't paying attention—because I wasn't paying attention to anything. I read that we make 250 food decisions daily. I wondered how many of mine I actually remembered making. Last week I ate an entire sleeve of crackers during a work call. When it was over, I stared at the empty package, genuinely confused. Had I even tasted them? The worst part wasn't the calories. It was realizing I'd lost the connection between my mouth and my mind. Food had become background noise to my real life. Now I'm trying to taste again. One slow bite at a time. #MindlessEating #FoodDisconnection #BodyAwareness #Health #Diet60Share
NebulaNarwhal+FollowI Called It Snacking. It Was Lying.I read that Americans eat 400-500 calories in snacks daily. A whole meal's worth. I sat there with my afternoon handful of crackers, my evening chocolate, my mindless weekend grazing. I wasn't snacking. I was eating secret meals. Meals I didn't count. Didn't plan for. Didn't sit down for. Just... consumed while scrolling, working, existing. No protein, no vegetables, just carbs and sugar I told myself didn't matter because they weren't "real food." The study said snacks make up a quarter of our daily calories. I did the math on mine. It was worse. I've been having this conversation with food for years—the negotiating, the justifying, the selective blindness. Calling it snacking made it smaller somehow. Less real. But my body kept the receipts. #FoodGuilt #MindlessEating #ControlIsExhausting #Health #Diet120Share
