My Relationship With Food And How It's Progressed

If you’ve been a reader of mine from the beginning, it was mentioned in previous posts that I struggle with eating. For a long time, I did not have the best relationship with food.

In the beginning, I would eat only the food that was placed in front of me. I never finished a plate, and it was usually halfway through a meal I convinced myself the food was disgusting.

With time, and the proper help, I learned to love and appreciate food. I no longer ignore my hunger signs, and I enjoy the food that I put into my body. I don’t limit myself and what I eat, If my mind and my body want it, I simply eat it.

I don’t force myself to eat if I do not want to as to avoid negative thoughts associated with eating. I find myself looking forward to my meal times. People sometimes like to ask me how I am doing with my eating habits, and sometimes try to get me to eat more, but at the end of the day I physically and mentally feel good. That’s all that matters!

The process to getting to this point has been difficult and long, but I am happy, I feel healthy, and could not be happier.
