Performative eating is when we refrain from eating how/what we actually want in order to avoid perceived social judgments about our food consumption. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We may try to eat “good” in front of others by restricting our portion sizes, mimicking others’ choices, ordering what seems like the “healthier” option, or avoiding second helpings even if we’re HUNGRY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And you know what this results in? Usually nothing good!! We don’t get a prize for eating less. And often times we end up going home hungry and potentially bingeing on foods we actually wanted all along. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So this is your reminder that honouring your hunger is an act of self-care. And if the person sitting across from you is actually judging you, then they really don’t deserve to be at the dinner table with you!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eatingdisorderawareness #edcommunity #edrecovering #edrecoverywarrior #healingjourney #disorderedeating #orthorexiarecovery #anorexiarecover #anorexiaawareness #bulimiarecovery #ednosrecovery #edfighter #edwarrior #edrecovering #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalillness #mentalillnessrecovery #nourishnotpunish #letsbeateds #strongnotskinny #beatingeatingdisorders #haes #healthateverysize #disorderedeatingrecovery #performativeeating #socialanxiety #foodanxiety
