what did you eat standing up over the sink this week?
there's something revealing about the meals that don't count as meals. the ones eaten standing, half paying attention, already thinking about the next thing. they tell you how you're treating yourself when no one is looking.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →write down what it was. cold leftovers, cereal at 4pm, crackers while staring at your phone. be specific. then write about what was happening around that moment. were you rushing, were you tired, were you avoiding sitting down because sitting down would mean being still. notice whether you feel any way about it. guilt, amusement, indifference. write about what a version of you that was doing well would have eaten instead, and how far away that version feels right now.
- describe the scene honestly, what you ate, what you were wearing, what was playing in the background.
- write about whether standing up to eat is a habit or whether something specific made this week harder.
- ask yourself what sitting down to eat properly would have required from you.
this is for you if you've been getting through the days but not quite looking after yourself inside them.
