aaaaaaaand this is why i love substack... 🥹🥹 FIRST. I love your sweariness and words that tumble from mind to page without a single filter. love love love. SECOND. Love your honesty soooo much. and I definitely struggle with a bloated belly and wanting to SUCK THAT BITCH IN CONSTANTLY. and I 1,000% know that sucking causes other issues. 🥲 Thank you for making me/others feel less alone. THIRD. Fuck YES to the wins, the progress, the self love. The word belly. SOOOOO glad substack brought you into my lil world! 💛
Raw and true as ever. Sorry to hear you've been struggling with an ED so long. I have issues with food and was diagnosed with an ED this year (aged 50 lol!) and working through this with a good therapist. Hope you have help/support if you need/want it at this time?
Hey Taylor, this is an awesome post! I always thought I cursed too much in my writing, but reading this just made me feel so much better lol! I never really say the word “belly” either when I think about it. At most I say “tummy” lol. Thank you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)
Oh my, you just made my day. Thank you so much. I literally said fuck it and stopped filtering myself because this is the real me. Yes, I have a master's degree in doing C level executive takeovers.... but I also cuss.
Thank you so much for subscribing. It means the world to me!
Haha, no problem Taylor! Always a pleasure to interact with great writers like yourself. I love how unapologetic you are! I felt it all throughout your writing! Keep up the great fucking work! :)
😭😭 I'm so so sorry. I was a teenager when my mom was in perimenopause and she too felt that. I'm sp glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️ you got this 👏👏 you are so much stronger and braver than you realize 💪 ❤️
Now, onto the meat of this. For you to say the word belly IS absolutely fucking huge! Living a lifetime with an eating disorder is….well….there are no words. And here you are making friends with the word that triggers your eating feels. Here you are admitting your challenge in a raw vulnerable honest and very public way.
My first husband had (and probably still has) an eating disorder. When he left me, it reared its ugly head at me and became abusive to me because it controlled his life that much. He refused to admit it was a problem in his life. (He was 4” taller than me, and 10lbs lighter than me, and I weigh 120lbs). His condition ruled my life for our full 10 year marriage. Everything we did centered around his 👿
Once again, I bow to you. You are kicking fucking add at this living life thing and facing all your stuffs and standing up and being yourself and all your powers because of it.
I want to let you know I see you're comment and I deeply appreciate it. I want to give it a proper response so I have set a reminder on my calendar to respond :)
