The #TotalHonestyTuesday Roundup, Vol.57

By

tht

Every week, we’re participating in #totalhonestytuesday, sharing the things we’d usually keep off of social media, and giving a little more insight into our real (and very un-perfect) lives. Hopefully, in doing this, we can all feel a little less pressure to appear a certain way online, and remember that everyone around us is much more than just the highlight reel we normally see.

Last year's Yom Kippur was my first since I began treatment for an eating disorder. I was told that fasting was out of the question. It made sense then. I didn't have the glycogen reserves to make it through 25 hours and caloric deficit was the enemy. This year I'm 100x healthier both physically and mentally, but I still won't be fasting. Right now (and maybe forever) it's not good for me to do something in which gnawing hunger means "you're doing it right." For those fasting next week, I wish you a meaningful fast. For anyone struggling, I wish you peace and the ability to treat yourself compassionately. (This picture is apropos of nothing, except that I'm soaking up the sun's feel good properties like it's my job.) #totalhonestytuesday #totallyhonesttuesday #endthestigma
