“Your worth is not reflected in other people’s opinions of you.”
And your worth isn’t measured by your weight, your clothing size, the foods you eat, or how closely your body matches someone else’s idea of “healthy.”
As a dietitian, I want to remind you that food is not a test of your worthiness. You don’t have to “earn” your meals, compensate for what you ate, or change your body to deserve kindness and respect.
And when other people judge, comment on, or make assumptions about your body, your food choices, or the way you live — remember that their words often say far more about them than they do about you.
You don’t have to carry someone else’s opinions as though they are facts.
You are allowed to let them have their opinion… and keep moving forward.
Your body deserves nourishment — not punishment.
You deserve to enjoy food, care for yourself, take up space, and live your life without constantly wondering what other people think.
Your worth was never up for measurement. 🤍
