learning to listen to your body, have compassion for yourself, and feel better

Drinking soda is better than drinking nothing all day. Eating ice cream for dinner is better than eating nothing for dinner. Eating salsa is better than having no produce in your diet at all.

Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.

Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.

Don't let societally imposed food guilt trick you into believing that nothing is a better choice. Nourishing your body, however you can, is always the better choice. Fed is best. Always.

social contract is all fucked now, nobody wears ear buds on the train anymore and almost nobody will assassinate a politician for the greater good

I love getting older. I’m hotter, more confident, more intelligent. Ageism is a dirty trap. Don’t get caught in it.

I promise you were not placed on this earth to try and shrink your body until you die.

[serviceberries]

your body deserves respect in its current form, whatever that form is. it deserves love and care and softness and food and fresh air and comfortable clothing, now. not once you’ve lost 10 pounds. not once you’ve cleared your skin. not once you’ve attained whatever body goal you’ve convinced yourself will bring you body confidence and happiness. you deserve comfort, NOW.

incredible to me that in the age of spending minimum $100 for groceries for one person every three weeks where i live, people are still online like "dairy is bad for you because it has a lot of calories". at this point im calculating calories per dollar at the grocery store and youre still stuck in "fat bad" mindset from 1980. you are an absurd person to me. laughable

It's time wrench the phrase "Eating Healthier" out of the claws of the diet industry.

It should mean increasing your daily nutrient intake. It should not mean starving or deprivation. Because really, how could it?

Eating Healthier is about what you ARE eating, not what you aren't. It's a game of addition, not subtraction. If you give up pizza and change nothing else about your diet, you aren't getting any extra nutrients. If anything now you're getting somewhat less.

So sure you could replace the pizza with salad. Then you're getting more nutrients. Or you would be, if the salad was actually appetizing and you wanted to eat it. And if you weren't actively resenting the salad for not being pizza.

Which can also put your body into a stress state leading to less nutrient absorption from the foods you're eating to begin with.

So what if instead you just ate pizza with your salad? (Or perhaps a different nutrient dense side that you would actually enjoy.)

Letting yourself eat the foods you enjoy and exploring other foods to eat in addition is healthier, quantitatively speaking, according to daily nutrient intake (and uptake) than depriving yourself or starving yourself ever could be.

Eating foods you enjoy lets your body relax, it leads to higher nutrient uptake from the foods you're eating, and more overall satisfaction.

Deprivation diets are not about health. They're just about eating less, and that is not healthy.

So many lives have been literally destroyed by the diet propaganda around calorie counting.

Calories are ENERGY and they are not the enemy. It's time to destroy the idea that "eating healthier" means eating less.

Eating Healthier is about consuming MORE nutrients. Not about consuming fewer calories.

A proper salad consists of three divine components:

ingredience (vegitable of all kin)

indulgence (dressing, oil, salt, croutons, cheese, etc)

violence (chopp and shred that shit asunder)

Taste is the most important factor in nutrition.

Because you get the most nutrients from the foods you'll actually eat.

So add cheese, oil, spices, vinegar, sauces, etc. Try them roasted or sauteed or pureed, etc.

The actual secret to eating lots of fruits and veggies and other nutrient dense foods is:

Make them taste good. That's literally it.

[queenophydea]

Bein fat is good and normal and its hot and its morally neutral and its the best thing ever and it's just a way some people exist

[queenophydea]

Food is good and has no moral alignment and is awesome and is a way to express love and is just a thing we as organisms need

[akindplace]

Your body is amazing the way it is, so nourish it, care for it, let it recover, even if it isn’t the way you wanted it to be.

[femmeidiot]

Idk who needs to hear this (probably everyone) but your body is a good body. Even if you don’t like the way it looks or people have made you feel bad about. Literally all bodies are good bodies. Have a good day and don’t forget to be kind to yourself and your body.

[cripinpain]

here’s ur friendly reminder to let urself eat literally whatever the fuck u want whenever u want. ESPECIALLY if there’s a lot of shit u can’t eat for various reasons; dietary restrictions, fatigue or pain preventing u from cooking.

anything is better than nothing.

junk food only? good for you!!!!

snacks/candy/whatever? i’m so fucking happy that u r getting something in ur body at least.

i would rather have us eat “unhealthy” than not eating anything.

[itsanautiething]

A great reminder (for myself, mostly), that we need food to power every single bodily process and that ANY food is better than no food. So, on those days when all I can manage is 7/8 of a box of snacking crackers (dry and straight from the box) and a couple handfuls of sour patch kids, I'm doing better than not eating at all.

[fandomsandfeminism]

A reminder that food is morally nuetral.

That unless a food is literally poison or an allergy, it is not a bad food.

Your body needs carbs.

Your body needs fats.

Your body needs calories.

Maybe you struggle with moderation or getting the variety of nutrients you need to feel your best, but that does not make the foods you regularly eat bad.

Put the dressing on your salad. Add the cheese to the sandwhich. Grab a cookie to have with lunch. Add an egg to your instant Ramen. Mix M&Ms and teddy grams and roasted peanuts into your cup of yogurt. Put whipped cream on your coffee. Add frozen strawberries or Boba pearls to your iced tea. Sprinkle tajin onto your fruit cup.

Food must fuel your soul as well as your body. It is doesn't need to be a battleground. It can be a joy.
