We didn’t develop a complicated relationship with food in a vacuum 👉
We grew up in a world that told us our bodies were problems to be solved.
That shrinking ourselves was an achievement.
That hunger was weakness and thinness was worth.
These aren’t fringe examples. This was mainstream culture. This was in our magazines, our films, our favourite TV shows.
And most of us absorbed every single message without ever being given the tools to question it.
Save this. Share it.
Send it to the woman in your life who still thinks this is her fault.
It never was 💔
