You need to eat today because you’re a living breathing human being with a body that requires food for survival. But also because you deserve respect, satisfaction, joy, and pleasure. You can’t fully participate in your life on an empty stomach. You need to eat.

Gentle reminder that you need to eat today. Even if you feel bloated. Even if your hunger cues are absent. Even if you’ve gained weight. Even if you feel guilty about what you ate yesterday. Even if someone commented on your body.

Being able to enjoy your favorite holiday foods with your loved ones is one of the most valuable things eating disorders deprive you of. To anyone celebrating over the holidays, remember to fuel your body and soul ♥️
