it’s never just been about the food.

it’s never just been about the food.

control around food isn’t about discipline. it’s about safety.

when you struggle with low self-worth, food becomes the one area that feels like you can control. it’s the thing you can “fix.” the number you can chase. the rules you can follow when everything else feels uncertain.

but here’s the truth — it’s never just been about the food.it’s about your relationship with yourself.

when you believe you’re not enough, you try to earn your worth by controlling your body.you measure your value in calories, weight, or how perfectly you “stuck to the plan.”and when you fall short, the shame sets in — leading to the same cycle:

restrict → obsess → rebel → repeat.

fat loss is emotional. it’s not just about what you eat — it’s about what you feel.because until you feel safe being you — without the rules, without the control —you’ll keep trying to find peace through perfection.

when you start healing your self-worth, something shifts.you stop needing to control food to feel okay.

you start choosing health — not punishment.you start feeding your body — not your fears.

🖤 structure is self-respect™
