This resonates with me a lot. When I feel stressed or judged about food, it makes decisions harder. Instead of focusing on what’s best for me, I end up making quick choices based on pressure or guilt, which doesn’t help me eat better or feel good about my decisions @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
We talk about what to eat, but less about how we think about it. The stress, judgement & fear around food choices aren’t just exhausting—they make eating decisions harder. We don't think as clearly. We default to habits & jump to conclusions... That’s probably not helping anyone eat better.
