Sign of Low Self-Regard: Moralizing Food
You call yourself “good” for eating a salad and “bad” for eating fries. You celebrate skipping meals and punish yourself after dessert. You chase thinness like it’s the highest virtue and apologize for your appetite like it’s a character flaw.
👀 That’s the Sweep-It Move:
You’ve been conditioned to believe “good women” are small—quiet in voice and body. You’ve learned to ignore hunger, label food as shameful, and treat eating like a moral scoreboard. The goal? Be less.
🔁 Try the Speak-It Move:
Begin by dropping the judgment. Food isn’t good or bad—it’s simply food. Your worth isn’t measured in calories. Start saying:
“I trust my body to tell me what it needs.”
“I’m allowed to eat and enjoy this without shame.”
You get to nourish your body and delight in it. There’s power in presence, even at the dinner table.
💭 Want to be bolder?
Focus on savoring the next thing you eat—without multitasking or mentally calculating how you’ll “burn it off.” Just you, your food, your body, and a moment of trust. Bold women don’t restrict to feel worthy. They tune in, take care, and take pleasure.
