Your Hunger is Valid
If you have the privilege of having access to adequate food, I invite you to explore what it might feel like to listen to your body when it suggests that it needs more food.
What you eat in a day, or in a moment, or at a meal, will be different from what the humans around you may be eating.
This is expected.
This is normal.
What you need to eat is always going to be different from what your fellow eaters require or choose to consume. This is okay. This is normal. Suggesting otherwise is like suggesting that all humans need the same amount of rest to feel rested, or the same amount of socializing to feel connected.
Your hunger is valid.
Your appetite is valid.
If you eat, and you’re still hungry, please grant yourself permission to eat more.
