Why l do what you do:
I do what you do because, like many people, l have internalised messages — subtle and loud — from society, media, and even people close to me. Throw away comments. These messages say: "Your body is a measure of your worth." So l anticipated judgment. I’d prepare for it — with a diet , an apology, or silence. It's not weakness. It's survival. It's adapting to their judgment. Feeling like had to conform. All the while feeling so shitty about myself, l turned to food for comfort.
