Growing up in a household where eating disorders were not a thing and very “normalized” has been something im realizing is affecting me and has affected me my whole life in various ways,
The psychology behind “beauty” in society.
Not having routine or positive guidance around food as a child.
Diet culture influenced home.
Not knowing how to or what to eat “healthy”
In every form of that word
Too much,
Too little,
Anxiety around that and anger associated with food.
A household where my guardians copied my behavior instead of helping me learn that innreality IT’S NOT HEALTHY OR NICE
being shamed when expressing why things are popping up now.
Facing underlying shame and understanding what is right and wrong
I’m an adult now,
an adult realizing that my childhood was warped around parents who have un healed trauma of their own,
I do not wish to be like that.
But, I see so many traits coming out in my adult form.
*reprogramming* *relearning*
Going into a fitness career with these realizations has been really challenging to navigate around, becoming triggered and voicing the wrong thing,
*rethinking* *unlearning*
Everyday im reprogramming my psychology from learned behavior.
It’s not fair.
It was never.
But now I have to live that knowledge,
And own that truth.
And accept that I can’t go back and re live it.
*only relearn* *rethink* *reprogram*
Honestly, I want to voice what I know now to the child that was learning from observation.
*unlearn*
And the worst part is, I feel those words and “lessons” from my childhood, from now constantly trying to change me,
pulling me away from what I KNOW NOW.
It was my truth for a while,
Generational trauma,
And the
healing of parts that succumbed to survive.
