And the depth of my feeling about this...
Unfortunately, this is what I mean.
If we're going to indict someone, when you look at intuitive eating, it's awesome in theory.
Feel your fullness.
You cannot.
I disagree with that, though.
My next surrounded claim is that the body positivity movement oversimplifies disordered eating and trauma.
Definitely as a kid, would overeat.
I wouldn't say binge eating disorder, but I would compulsively overeat.
I would eat to have a connection with my father.
I would eat to feel a sense of comfort.
I would eat to feel a sense of control.
I was 13, 14, and 15.
So I didn't have the bandwidth to process what was actually going on.
I was in therapy for other things that were going on in my household.
And I definitely was helped there.
Please, absolutely.
