Victoria Spence Instagram – Do you ever consider the amount of brain space that food, dieting, and losing weight/ staying thin take up?
When I was knee-deep in diet hood, I’d say it took up 80% of my daily thoughts. If I wasn’t eating food, I was counting it or in my fitness pal calculating what I was allowed to have, or how I could burn off what I’ve eaten, or dreaming about my weekend cheat meal. And that’s just the food part.
It’s exhausting, all-consuming and completely unnecessary.
I’m not reckless with food now, like, we buy gousto or Hello Fresh, and I aim to eat some fruit or veg with my meals, and I’m conscious of making sure to have protein, and how much water I’m drinking, but that’s as far as my thoughts about food go. I rarely know what I’m going to eat for my next meal, and if options are limited, ill take whatever is on offer.
I guess I only know because I’ve been in diet prison the past, how bloody freeing it is live the way I do now.
Now I have 80% more brain space to think about life, and my career and things that help move me forwards and light me up 🫶🏻#dietculture #foodfreedom #relateable | Posted on 02/Sep/2024 22:01:23
