• I’m bored.
• I’m anxious.
• I’m avoiding dealing with an issue.
• I’m thirsty.
• I’m used to eating at that time.
• I’m addicted to sugar.
• I’m afflicted to routines that don’t serve me.
• I’m addicted to the act of chewing.

Notice how none of these things include being hungry?

I wish the fat would melt away and the pain would go away and the habits would correct themselves but I know better cuz I’m carrying the fat of it all. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Some things. They don’t require a professional to tell you or show you. Some things require you to be honest about how you’re showing up in the world, and to do a thing differently.

So this is my way of showing up honestly for myself.

• To acknowledge when I am feeling these things rather than hungry.
• To drink more water.
• To deal with the tough stuff honestly.
• To give myself a little more grace—but to not use grace as a license to slack off.

The end.
