The Honey Edit

Because fueling my body should feel like care, not chaos.

Food used to feel like another area where I was failing. I’d watch people on YouTube chop vegetables into neat little containers, talking about “Sunday prep” like it was a religion. Meanwhile, my reality was ordering takeout and convincing myself that extra guac counted as a vegetable.

But I’ve realized it’s not about becoming some meal-prep goddess. It’s about being intentional. Just like I’m learning to dress the body I have today, I’m also learning to fuel it with what it actually needs, not just what’s easy in the moment.

Online food shopping has become my secret weapon in this. I can sit down, look at my week, and actually plan meals that make sense. Plus, there’s something about seeing everything laid out in a virtual cart that makes me more conscious of my choices. Am I adding things because I planned for them, or because I’m hungry while shopping at 10 p.m.? (Pro tip: never online shop hungry—it’s just as dangerous as wandering Target.)

It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress. A little less chaos, a little more control. And just like with clothes or skincare, these small choices add up. They remind me that I’m worth the effort, even if that effort looks different than it used to.

So no, I’m not suddenly whipping up gourmet meals or alphabetizing my pantry. But I am feeding myself with a little more care, a little more intention—and honestly, if survival now comes with less chaos and more fiber, I’d call that a win.
