the choices of reasoning

beyond the menu

Choices often link to the labels of our identities, sometimes inaccurately; ranging from the music we listen to, to the meal we select from a menu.

For some, menu choices may carry more significance than mere taste preferences. One who often chooses lighter options might be labeled “health-conscious,” though their reasoning could be far more complex.

The common experience of being misunderstood can discourage individuals from sharing their honest experiences—whether those involve disordered eating, food-related anxiety, or complex relationships with nutrition and body image. These challenges, often invisible, can be easily misinterpreted.

Born from personal experiences with eating disorders and the transformative journey of recovery, this blog aims to offer insights into addressing the choices that shape their own identities—the choices of reasoning, beyond the menu.


This blog is intended to serve as a supplementary resource, providing additional insights and encouragement to support your personal journey. Acknowledging disordered eating patterns is incredibly challenging, and your courage is commendable. If you, a friend, or a loved one are facing these struggles, seeking professional help, such as talk therapy, is crucial.
