I recommend saying this if you want to make the office kitchen awkward and watch people laugh uncomfortably while they try to enjoy a bagel. It’s a guaranteed way to make folks feel bad for indulging in life's little pleasures.👍👍👍
Honestly, I don’t know how diet culture became a competition of who can have the most unregulated eating habits :(—it’s not a flex. It just creates shame. My best advice? Eyes on your own plate. Encourage others, set boundaries, and remember: food choices are personal, and they’re theirs alone

i might fall for it sometimes but i’m actively resisting
it’s mine and no one else’s business what i eat so if i’m more conscious of my eating it should at least be under my own control rather than what people on the internet or irl think
i’m not falling for fake concern or judging/policing, literally nothing annoys me more (and i’ve talked about this before) than people online talking saying stuff like ‘i’m just concerned’ or pretending they actually care about people they’re shaming for their weight or what they eat when they’re just doing it to feel superior

As my cousin Ronnie would jokingly say at family reunions, I’m on the seafood diet—I see food, I eat it!!
I have historically had a problem with overeating snacks and if I buy chips it’s really easy for me to eat them all in one sitting. I embrace an ingredients household mindset and try to only buy whole foods based snacks like cheese, nuts, etc that are so boring and wholesome they’re kind of hard to eat too much of them.
Demonic food scientists and executives at corporate conglomerate food manufacturers, many of whom worked at cigarette companies in the past, have engineered hyper processed foods to be optimally addictive. I replace the chips I used to be addicted to with alternative snacks that use better ingredients and typically come in much smaller bags—I have yet to find my methadone for my drug of choice, HOT CHEETOS because I’m OPPRESSED and the bougie snack industry evidently doesn’t care about MY NEEDS—and I portion them out into bowls when I eat them then put the bag away.
If you have some kind of an Uber Eats/Doordash problem then delete those apps because it’s too easy to just summon whatever you want whenever you want, on a whim. Make it so if you want to get food you have to go out and work for it. Add friction to counterbalance your impulsive nature! And when you eat, eat mindfully and slowly.
Also if you’re regularly craving certain foods I hear that it can have something to do with nutritional imbalance so be mindful of that…

and focusing instead on making reasonably healthy, self-compassionate, consistent choices and moving your body in ways that make you feel good.
We’re assaulted with numbers, data, and metrics everywhere else in life why let it creep into your relationship with food and your body!!! It takes time and practice to do this right and find balance without descending into total uninhibited hedonism but it can be freeing to live this way. Controversial perhaps…

If you are passionate about your hip mobility and amazing sleep, please, SLEEP ON THIS. We have been together for probably two years. And I don’t give a shit how goofy she looks. She changed my life. I don’t have any back pain and I don’t have any hip pain. I do other things to work on those issues, but SHE is the biggest contributor to the solution.

Wendy’s Subway was one of the first "third places" I stumbled into after moving to NYC. It’s tucked away like some secret lair, and it's so beautiful in that "this-doesn't-fit-anywhere-else" way. It does so much, you can't really explain what it is. So I just call it a third place. You know, the kind of spot you go when you don’t want to hit a bar (because I don't drink) or pay for something (because... money). I go there to read, flip through a zine on some obscure political issue, or dive into a bi-weekly poetry writing event. It's so freakin' quiet and it'll let your brain take a nap. Do yourself a favor and go. Find community here. But check their website for hours/events first.
