Food is not here to entertain me. I have books, friends, nature, adventures and my own life to entertain me.

Food is not here to sooth me when I am sad. I have journals, friends, pets, prayer, hot tea, music and showers for that.

Food is not here to pick me up after a hard day. I have tomorrow, and the promise of a new day is enough for me.

Food is not here to celebrate my great days. I will share my joy with others. I will celebrate and appreciate what I have.

Food is not here to fill me to the brim. I do not need to feel full to be nourished. Food is here to satiate me.

Food is nourishment. It’s job is to give me energy to get through the day. It’s job is to give me nutrients, help me get stronger, and fuel my brain. It is not a replacement for real life. It is not about pleasing my brain, it is about pleasing my body. True change starts at the very foundation. Change your relationship.

BUT!

Food is also a huge cultural and social element!

Viewing food exclusively as a source of fuel is not a positive relationship with food. You are demonizing a huge aspect of life in the name of being free from it.

I find comfort in a warm bowl of soup after a long day - I find joy in building a beautiful cheese board to share with friends.

Have fun eating your nutrient-dense gruel, I will allow myself the grace to enjoy food while also making nutritious choices.
