You do not need to do a 30-day "reset" to deserve a bath. You do not need to run a marathon to be allowed to rest. You do not need to eat a kale salad to be worthy of love.

When you refuse to diet, someone will inevitably ask, "But don't you care about your health?" Your response: "I care about my health so much that I refuse to spend another minute of my life chasing weight loss at the expense of my mental well-being."

That is not contradiction. That is balance. That is humanity. And that, finally, is true wellness.

This is not wellness. This is moralizing food and exercise.
