I Ate All the Right Things. My Heart Still Raced.

Dinner is a checklist: two servings of vegetables, a handful of nuts, fish instead of chicken. I know the numbers. I know what the studies say. But I still stare at my plate, heart pounding, wondering if I got it right. Sometimes I eat the exact foods they recommend and still feel like I’m failing. Like my body is a math problem I can’t solve. I read about risk and prevention, but no article tells you how to stop the quiet panic that comes with every bite. I wish I could trust that eating well is enough. But most nights, I’m just hoping the next meal will feel less like a test. #FoodGuilt #ControlIsExhausting #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet
