This is a story of your own, but we all share the experience.

One day, I suddenly realized that I lost my mutual connection with food.

Do you feel that way?

When a plate of food became numbers and nutrition definitions, I lost my interest. 

Our generation is going through a phase that everybody wants to be someone else. There are so many great characteristics that we have, but we ignored them in order to degrade ourselves, and we can generate an excuse to imitate others. Think back to when you were a child, diet was not even a vocabulary word that you use in your daily life. As for me, I do not even understand this word until I started to use social media. All kinds of meal plans, striking titles such as “ Loss 10 pounds in a week”, “ Victoria Secret Model’s Diet”, “ National Certified Trainer’s Meal Plans”, etc. Thousands of society valued perfect images fly through my mind every night when I close my eyes- yes, this is how toxic they are. I see my peers trying to skip meals to achieve a number, to compete with each other, to feel superior. 

Are we really superior when we lose ourselves?

Living under the comments of others will not make us perfect. Instead, we are walking away from ourselves further and further. In reality, those comments are not for us, our goals are not ours. They are the goals that we put so much effort and time into in order to meet the standards of someone else. 

“My body is not anyone else’s, is mine. My meals are not functioning for others, they are mine. My family and friends will not walk away from me, they are mine. My life will not be beaten with comments, it is mine. 

My journey will not stop because of barriers, I am fighting for the goodness that will ultimately be mine.”
