When comfort food makes sense and the scale stays the same.


Still at 190.

I have been here for a few weeks now and I want to be honest about why instead of just reporting the number and moving on.

The fallout with my mom is still happening inside me. That does not stop because the conversation ended. The grief is there, the low hum is there, and this week I found myself reaching for food in a way I have not in a while. Not bingeing. Not spiraling. Just seeking comfort in the way humans do when something hurts and there is no clean fix for it.

I am not beating myself up about it. I understand it. But I am also not pretending it is not happening.

My birthday is Wednesday. I will be in the comments.

190, comfort eating, and what I am actually changing this week
