Will Yogurt Fix Me or Am I Just Hoping?

I used to buy the expensive yogurt—the kind with labels promising live cultures and a happier gut. I’d stand in the dairy aisle, reading the fine print, pretending this was the choice that would finally make my body feel right. Every spoonful was a silent negotiation: maybe this time, I’d feel lighter, less anxious, more in control. But the truth is, I never noticed a difference. Maybe the change was too small to measure, or maybe I just wanted to believe in something simple. Most days, I’m still waiting for that feeling. The one where my body stops being a project and just becomes a place I can live. #FoodGuilt #GutHealthAnxiety #TryingAnyway #Health #Diet
