Just eat, just live

Feeling a little snarky as of late… So if you want some sass, then hold on to your butt and get ready for some tough love.

I don’t get it. Why are we more terrified of gaining weight than going hungry?! Talk about privilege.

Dieting is a privilege, but so is eating. Not starving, NOT DYING, is a privilege. Get your priorities straight.

There’s so much more to life than chasing thinness. Give yourself permission to take up space, and then eat something. Because eating gives you the energy you need to stay alive.

Yes, everyone dies. But, your life’s mission isn’t to lose weight — what a waste of a life. Why would you want your finite experience to reflect anything less than actually living it?

And for those of you who are chasing health: the opposite of being healthy isn’t necessarily being sick, it’s being dead. Honoring your health first and foremost means staying alive. We wouldn’t even be capable of worrying about super foods or pant sizes if we were six feet under, right???

Please, for the love of God who sent you here to live your life, LIVE YOUR LIFE! Because when you’re focused on your shape, you can’t shape the world. And in order to do that, eat something so you can stay alive. Keep living. Keep eating.
