jcoreetsy's Journal, 23 November 2015

Unfortunately, I decided it was best to make my journal and weight history visible to only my buddies. I didn't appreciate the comment from a total stranger that I'm starving myself. It felt judgemental and unnecessary.

I don't think losing 6 pounds over the course of 2 months qualifies as starving, nor does skipping the occasional lunch when I know I'm going to be eating something caloric and filled with gluten for dinner. That's my prerogative based on my knowledge of my body; it isn't for anyone else to use against me, especially using such a hyperbole that I'm starving myself. That implies that I'm intentionally trying to lose weight by simply not eating, which isn't the case. I'm trying to listen to my body and make smarter choices based on what has proven to work best for me.

I know I shouldn't take it personally. Still, it annoyed me enough to make me change the privacy setting on my journal. That's too bad, but it's for the best, I'm sure. This should be a place of support.

Anyway. Here's today's food:
