Diet Culture Really Rots Your Brain. I Cant Stomach Eating Anything In The Morning. Cant Do It. I Discussed

Diet culture really rots your brain. I can’t stomach eating anything in the morning. Can’t do it. I discussed this with my doctor- I said “well I guess I could have a yoghurt or something healthy” and I mentioned that I had a hot chocolate in the morning as a treat.

She said “yes! Do that! Every morning”

I thought hot chocolate = bad. Not having breakfast was Healthier than having a hot chocolate. But my GP said- no, it’s better to have something, anything. And something with sugar and fat in it will actually be better for me than simply having nothing so if a hot chocolate works for me- keep doing it!

How much guilt have I wasted on something that was doing me good because of stupid diet culture?

I know that POTS isn’t a very serious diagnoses. A lot of people have it much worse. But I’m still struggling with the diagnosis, and it’s a weird feeling acknowledging that this is how it’s going to be from now on. That I’m just going to have to play life a bit safe. That there are things I struggle with. That there’s no pill to take or surgery to do.

My life is just a little trickier than I thought it would be. And that’s tough.

I think one of the worst things for a cat to be is mysteriously wet.
