A month ago I told my husband I would finally sit down and watch the lord of the rings if he did a hobbit day, he had to come up with a menu and cooking for a day of all the hobbit meals as we watched the movies. So this is how tomorrow looks for me

I shaved my head when I was 20 and almost got fired from my nannying job because they said I was confusing their kids. I told them I’d done it in solidarity with a friend who was recently diagnosed. I didn’t mention the diagnoses was IBS.

My best friend sat in my car with me for three hours afterward while I sobbed because I was realizing I couldn’t save my mother and save myself and that maybe it hadn’t ever been fair that I’d been expected to save her in the first place. She held my hand and let me rage.

Because a woman’s body doesn’t physically change to make changing a poopy diaper more pleasurable. A woman’s body changes when she is “in the mood” and when she isn’t and those changes haven’t happened, sex hurts her. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Since leaving evangelicalism I’ve learned there isn’t a single part of me unaffected by the Christian teaching that I cannot trust myself. Eating/relationship to food is no different. If you’re deconstructing I hope you’re learning that your intuition is a gift not an enemy 💛
I don’t think people don’t want to heal their relationship with food. Instead, I think that too many people are not in touch with their intuition, due to trauma, so they don’t even know what accepting the invitation to intuitive eating looks like.
