One thing I am learning rn is how important not just food and sleep are, but the COMBINATION of them! Sleeping lots while not well nourished doesn't let the body do all the repair and realignment work it needs to do in sleep, so then sleep ends up being unrestful and (at least in my case) unecessarily long.
Whereas when I take naps after meals, or make sure to go to bed well-fed, sleep is much more "productive", or rather, RESTORATIVE.
This especially helps my mental capacities. It feels like my mind is putting itself together. And sure there are many factors playing into this and making it possible. But allowing myself to use the energy from food for REST instead of using the energy for awake activities first and foremost, has really really given my recovery from both mental and physical disabilities/chronic illnesses a boost.
One thing about night-time sleep is: It's not enough to make sure not to go to bed acutely hungry (which if you do will obviously mess up your sleep and not make it restful and cause all manner of problems). It's also important to have had enough food overall over the day.

Just dropped.
From a dance teacher’s comment at age 9 that started a decade of bulimia, to the moment her mom tackled her mid-purge and said “I love you too much to let you kill yourself” — Kimberly Spencer gets raw about breaking free from control, generational trauma, and learning to actually love her body.
New episode is live.

Entertaining flights of fancy, mania as well as paranoia, was necessary on my journey. I just had to allow reality to reel me back in when I got off track too much. It's helpful like that.
(that's what I meant when I said, being intentionally crazy freed my soul and grounded my spirit btw)

And you need to listen to your body. ESPECIALLY when it tells you to eat the "unhealthy" food or "too much" of it or at the "wrong time". That's your body looking out for you.
I know in theory that because of my eating disorder, my body's ability to signal its needs to me, and probably more so my ability to listen, is messed up. So I have to eat when I'm not hungry, or eat when nothing tastes good. (The praxis of this still trips me up.) But when I DO get a craving, I know I should listen.
"All the tasty food is bad for you" is a lie. It's tasty because it is full of stuff we need. That's basic evolution. We need energy, calories, sugar, fat, carbs. They're good for us and they're healthy and they're necessary. Additives usually serve a good purpose and are fine (except artificial sweeteners). Ok I'm not a nutritionist, these are just things I need to remind myself of. I'm being very general and vague for that reason. But it's important to push back against the constant diet culture messages that tell us to deprive ourselves of things we're hungry for.

CW: mh, eating disorder recovery, lies that enabled the disorder (that are part of activist scenes even for non-disordered eaters!)
lies like
"Self-restraint is a virtue/ indulgence is bad"
"less is more"
"if it doesn't hurt, it can't be effective"
"it is virtuous and morally good and important and effective to make personal sacrifices"
"this isn't a sacrifice, you LIKE it!" (when I don't allow myself to consider the alternative)
"this is extreme, but extreme is good because it is radical, it goes to the roots of the problem!" (ok, sometimes true, but not everything that's extreme is automatically effective or even radical!)
"this flies in the face of conventional wisdom because I am actually more informed than most people" (again, sometimes true but not automatically true)
"the problem isn't that this is too hard, it's that I'm stupid/not trying enough/ etc"
"you always have to try harder. just like. in general."
"pushing yourself is morally good and leads to growth rather than burnout"
"you don't deserve to have your needs and desires met"
"this isn't a need, it's a want, it's selfish"
"others have it worse so quit complaining"
"resting is wasting time"
"having fun is selfish when others are suffering"
"there is so much to do, no time for rest/fun!"
...and so on. Until you genuinely can't tell what you want and need. Because society and especially abusers (insofar as there's a difference) beat that ability out of us starting in infancy.
And these beliefs are so common in activist scenes and spaces and are what motivates many people to do activism. It's not "just" the stuff eating disorders are made out of, it's also the water most people swim in in general. Obviously you get versions of these beliefs in religions and conservative circles too....
There's nothing more radical than listening to your body's needs and allowing them unconditionally. Fuck the concepts of laziness, greed and undeservedness!

When I was younger, after eating a meal, I'd always feel the urge to go on a walk, I'd feel so energetic. All the adults called me weird while groaning about how full they were and how they couldn't wait to sit down or take a nap. Turns out I wasn't weird, and the sudden energy was just my body providing for me, rewarding me for eating.

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you! Let me introduce myself. I'm a French girl who's been living with EDs most of her life and is still on the recovery journey. I always love reading and I enjoy going to the movies. Here, you'll probably see food related stuff, books and tarot cards.

What I learned in my journey to overcome eating disorders and food deprivation trauma:
Eat when you're hungry, eat what you're hungry for, eat as much as your body needs.
That means at least 3 full meals and 2 snacks every day.Move only in ways that feel good to your body, mind and soul.
(Those are goals for me, I am not currently there. But I do not accept anything less than this as a goal to strive for.)
Don't fight your body and don't starve it, not even a little bit. Build trust in and with your body. Listen to it.
Promoting starvation culture (ie weight loss efforts) is not ok. Do not do this on my posts.
Did you know that the idea that "fat is bad" (it really is not!) originated in racism?
Here's a food psych podcast episode about that if you want (listening to podcasts was how I learned most of this stuff bc at the time that was the most accessible way for me to get information)
https://christyharrison.com/foodpsych/6/the-racist-roots-of-diet-culture-with-sabrina-strings-sociologist-and-author-of-fearing-the-black-bodyAnything that promotes or celebrates weight loss is sexist too. It is the control of bodies in very personal and deep ways.
It goes against life itself. Without enough calories, we die. But before we die, we get tired, exhausted, feel tense, have a hard time concentrating, develop "random" aches and pains, and often most notably: mess up our digestive system.
In short, we suffer a lot.And most people get fat along the way. The best way to get fat is by trying to lose weight. Weight loss efforts, no matter which ones, as good as always lead to mid- or long term weight restoration and most people re-gain more weight than they initially lost. If they ever lost anything in the first place.
We need to celebrate fat instead! It is our bodies love language and often a desperate way to try to keep us alive.
It's not "storage" for when we don't eat enough – our bodies can only access the energy stored in our fat if and when we are helping them and have earned their trust that we won't starve them again.
Here's another food psych episode that might be interesting.
