I Counted Every Vegetable

Two to three cups daily. I memorized that number like scripture. I'd measure spinach leaves, count broccoli florets, weigh bell pepper strips on my kitchen scale. My Instagram was full of rainbow bowls, each color representing another vitamin I was conquering. The dietitian said only 1 in 10 people eat enough vegetables. I wasn't going to be part of that statistic. I hit my vegetable goals every single day for eight months. My skin glowed. My digestion was perfect. My inflammation markers dropped. But I couldn't eat a salad without calculating. Couldn't order dinner without scanning the menu for adequate servings. Couldn't feel good about a meal unless half my plate was green. I thought I was being healthy. I was just being controlled. #Health #Diet #HealthyObsession
