Mary H.K. Choi Instagram – Hi friends! Happy earth day. I won’t even get into the Drake equation or geo-exceptionalism (or attitudinal geocentrism as it relates to our specialness) BUT I am into this planet so much! And I am so grateful. Trees are so wonderful! Also fruit. And animals are so funny and cool. Which is to say that about a month ago I stopped eating meat every day or even really that much at home and it’s been really sweet. I’m not vegetarian or vegan and I eat eggs and dairy and honey and figs and sometimes fish which is to say that all I did was eat less meat but I am into it. I have such perfectionism and fear of failure but I also saw how my disordered eating assigned magical thinking around “lean protein” and I wanted to start interrogating that. It does mean I’m eating more carbs which scares me sometimes and I have fear around fullness and satiety but it’s okay. I also am careful to make sure I’m not doing this as a virtue-motivated way to start dieting because that’s a surefire path to binge-eating and madness for me. I’m just sharing this to say that for me little actions do count and they do contribute to personal morale and self esteem. And just for today this is something I am exploring with gentleness and self forgiveness and curiosity (it turns out I actually loathe eating broiled chicken breast!) Anyway 🌱💕 Go smile at the sun and say hi if it’s available for you today. And trees, they’re hilarious and have the best personalities! | Posted on 22/Apr/2021 22:20:15
