I spent 15 years very focused on the food I ate and my body size, which never seemed to be thin enough. It’s an illness of the mind that’s reinforced by our societal norms, but IMHO such a waste of time and precious life energy.

I lost 10 lbs in January when I had my son taken away to a school. Amazing how your appetite disappears with enough stress, and other times the stress leads to gobs of chocolate.

Anyway… love you Tarzan! I heard your interview on Trudi Lebron’s podcast! Great, interesting people find each other🙌🤩

A strong reminder "What's average anyway?"

RIGHT? I'm pretty sure it's an old (and racist) ideal based on white bodies from like 400 years ago.

I love how you said: "Maybe the size of my body does not say a damned thing about my state of being or my value in the world."

My body is almost three years postpartum and sometimes I still don't like how it takes up more space. But if I keep in mind that the size of my body is not equal to my value, I can choose to be okay with it and let it just be. Thank you for the reminder.

I love the idea of choosing to be okay with it. It's a choice we have to make over and over and over and over and then again some more. I hope one day I will actually be convinced.
