Yeah and trying to keep self-shame out of this process is impossible, I'm finding. It's really easy to slide into that, "I shouldn't have eaten that" mindset now, which went hand-in-hand with past experiences before I came to body acceptance. Foof, it's hard.

@neelybaugh: I am so on board. It has been a weird brain hurdle to try to justify both fat acceptance and also the attempt to become less fat. I spent so long making my brain understand that my body is beautiful no matter what that making a weight loss attempt feels opposed to that in some ways. Anyone else having this…
