I Skipped Meals. The Hunger Stayed

I used to think skipping breakfast made me disciplined. I’d watch the clock, waiting for noon, feeling proud when my stomach growled. Intermittent fasting sounded scientific, like I was hacking my body into something better. But the hunger never left. Even after the weight dropped, I still measured my worth in empty hours and smaller numbers. I told myself it was just about health, but every meal felt like a test I could fail. Now, I know the scale can’t tell you when you’re finally enough. It just tells you what you’re willing to give up to get there. #FoodGuilt #ControlIsExhausting #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet
