Epiphany

So, it’s been a while since this happened to me, but I needed some time to take it in and formulate my hypothesis thoroughly.

I stepped on the scale about 2 or 3 weeks ago and as it turned out I had actually lost a few pounds. I wasn’t anticipating it, I hadn’t been trying. In fact I had been focusing on HAES and so I was eating ice cream and loving it.

So I am wondering if we stop trying to fight with our bodies and just eat in a way that is healthy AND satisfying I wonder if our bodies wouldn’t just find the size we are meant to be.

I was a size 8 in high school, yet I have changed, we all change. Feet get wider and so do asses. Life takes a toll on us and our bodies are never the same two days in a row. So perhaps if we stop fighting with our bodies and instead nourish them we could both be happier. By accepting ourselves for who we are we can focus on bigger issues, such as poverty, domestic violence and child abuse. Just a thought….
