“It’s not what you see, it’s what you feel.” Erm, am I allowed to disagree with a motivational quote? I mean, it got made into a neon sign and everything… One of the other big lessons I’ve learnt this year is that sometimes my feelings are lies. I remember seeing this awesome illustration a few months ago from @danasuchow (swipe!) that said FAT IS NOT A FEELING, WHAT ARE YOU FEELING? And oh my god it’s so accurate. Gareth always calls me out when I say I’m feeling fat and makes me really think about what’s ACTUALLY going on. Am I feeling sad, angry, nervous, bored, overwhelmed? My broken brain will often translate feeling something else negative to ‘Oh my actual problem is that I’m fat’. This total crap! I’m not even sure if this will make sense to anyone else but me, but if you have a tendency to revert to thinking that any negative feelings are actually problems with your body then over this holiday season in particular, I’d like to try to encourage you to actually think about what actually might be going on. We got this! Much love
