Actual things I tell people who are fixing their relationship with food Pt 21 ❤️
It’s not about our relationship with food.
It’s about the one we have with ourselves.
The trend in the way we eat is actually a reflection of our own needs, emotions, comfort, self worth, discipline, joy. Being nourished is about being sensible & rational not just “nutrition.”
I used restriction as a way to cope. It was the one thing I could control in an uncertain world & made me “feel better.”
Building a good relationship with food will come from practicing asking less about the food itself but what is the chronic restriction or overeating keeping you from feeling. It’s usually the behaviour that shows up because you avoid what’s driving it.
I promise, when you do this it shifts the blame away from food itself & into a more workable space to figure that out & change it 🖤
