Things you might want TO DO this week:
• write down some affirmations for tough meals or days like “I always deserve food and enough to eat”
• know someone else’s food/body comments are about them, not you
• no food is “good” “bad” or “guilty”
• be gentle with yourself
Feeling full is normal. Feeling overly full is also normal. Our bodies can handle fullness. Give yourself permission to, at minimum, feel satisfied this Thanksgiving 💓

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
You might be sick to your stomach with anxiety.
You may not have slept at all last night.
You might be completely overwhelmed with emotions.
And you still need to eat. 💗
Waiting is hard. That's as normal and human as it gets. But we're waiting because so many people voted and because election workers are carefully ensuring that every vote is counted properly—and that is a good thing.
