When I was younger, after eating a meal, I'd always feel the urge to go on a walk, I'd feel so energetic. All the adults called me weird while groaning about how full they were and how they couldn't wait to sit down or take a nap. Turns out I wasn't weird, and the sudden energy was just my body providing for me, rewarding me for eating.

Meals lately, tomato soup and a slice of ham #edrecovery #foodstodon
I love bread and especially I love bread rolls. This is a collection of some of the rolls I baked last year. I usually use seeds or veggies in the dough. Here I have sesame seed rolls, kale rolls, beetroot rolls… I think sesame seed rolls are my current favourite

What I learned in my journey to overcome eating disorders and food deprivation trauma:
Eat when you're hungry, eat what you're hungry for, eat as much as your body needs.
That means at least 3 full meals and 2 snacks every day.
Move only in ways that feel good to your body, mind and soul.
(Those are goals for me, I am not currently there. But I do not accept anything less than this as a goal to strive for.)
Don't fight your body and don't starve it, not even a little bit. Build trust in and with your body. Listen to it.
Promoting starvation culture (ie weight loss efforts) is not ok. Do not do this on my posts.
Did you know that the idea that "fat is bad" (it really is not!) originated in racism?
Here's a food psych podcast episode about that if you want (listening to podcasts was how I learned most of this stuff bc at the time that was the most accessible way for me to get information)

Anything that promotes or celebrates weight loss is sexist too. It is the control of bodies in very personal and deep ways.
It goes against life itself. Without enough calories, we die. But before we die, we get tired, exhausted, feel tense, have a hard time concentrating, develop "random" aches and pains, and often most notably: mess up our digestive system.
In short, we suffer a lot.
And most people get fat along the way. The best way to get fat is by trying to lose weight. Weight loss efforts, no matter which ones, as good as always lead to mid- or long term weight restoration and most people re-gain more weight than they initially lost. If they ever lost anything in the first place.
Here's another food psych episode that might be interesting.
