This, yes THIS explains why I spend so much weeping over what I just ate. When did eating become so shameful?

You’re right, it shouldn’t be shameful to eat what one needs to eat. It’s bullshit, to be precise and non-PC at the same time. At age 7, my daughter ate more than I did, but she’s grown to be a normal-sized teen and I’m struggling with weight issues in a big way.
SO–having others dictating what I “should” eat is usually what makes me feel bad, not me seeing what I actually do eat. I do what my body needs, occasionally I do what it wants (eating something I crave, good for me or not) because I’ve found that when I get cravings it’s because something’s missing from the balance of food.
I refuse to feel shitty about how I eat–I maintain or lose a little, so I can’t be doing all bad here.
Hell Yeah! This article hit the mark-FOR EVERYTHING. Insert the any other word where you see “food” and it’s the media telling us how to be normal. I give up on being “normal,” I just want to not berate myself for stupid shit. Not be over critical about everything I do. Moat importantly, I just want to be happy. ‘Normal’ is only a good term in math. It just doesn’t apply to real life. Want to know where I learned that? The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. No joke.
I’m right behind ya all the way.
I continue to heart Shapely Prose. Those girls rock.
And to quote my friend Taga, “Normal is just a setting on your dryer.”
