PSA: To all my fellow trans siblings scared of gaining weight on HRT, please don't forget to eat. Your body is going through puberty again, it needs the energy. Take care of yourself, you're worthy of love, care, and food ❤️

No! I’ll continue to starve myself and wonder why I’m depressed and have brain fog and am getting worse sleep!

Curves need fuel, you can still be careful not to overeat, but please eat y’all

extremely good post, thank you 💓 we need fat on our bodies in order for fat redistribution to occur! the relationship between weight and health is far more complex than what we’re usually taught, and this is especially true for those of us whose bodies are undergoing transition

Im like trying to eat I’m just sad and not hungry lately, so what I do eat is usually not substantive nutrition

You still shouldn't starve yourself, regardless of your size you need energy, and you don't get that by not eating

American culture (and a lot of cultures tbh) create such an unhealthy relationship with food and sometimes we need to be reminded that it's totally ok to gain weight, it's actually healthy to have fat as opposed to being a tiny little skeleton of a person. I made this post because I've been struggling with this a lot the past few days and figured other people could use the reminder too

yes!!! yes exactly. and I think passing that reminder forward in this fashion is both an effective way at better internalizing it for yourself, and an admirably productive way of pushing back against external sources of negative messaging about this stuff. I respect it 🫡
