Is Food Really Just Fuel?

Food is allowed to be more than fuel

It can be comforting, memory inducing, moment making, fun, flavorful, nourishing, & energizing

But no matter what you’re eating, it is not meant to be used to cope with or fill emotional voids

It can be a creative outlet, an experience, and a tool all at once

I believe everything we do comes down to our intention and reasoning for doing it
If you run from food because you “can’t control yourself” please know that this behavior is coming from the same place as turning to cake or sugar because you “need comfort”

The problem is NOT about the cake or sugar or the broccoli or carrots or corn or whatever the food is you’re afraid of or running toward or from

The problem lies in the thought process going into & coming out of the act of eating
When you understand what drives a behavior and what comes as a result of the behavior, you can better understand the behavior itself (& can change it!!😍)

Would you cover a hole in a boat with an old piece of extra wood only to dock and say “that’ll do” and take off in the boat later?

NO WAY!

It’d keep causing issues or you’d sink

You can’t avoid disordered thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and patterns with food by simply throwing it all out, banishing it, going on another diet, swearing it won’t happen again, pretending it didn’t happen at all, or even insisting that you’ll be “on point” tomorrow

Eventually, your boat will begin filling with water again, maybe slower but most certainly filling & you’ll HAVE to do something about it

You deserve to go out to rocky waters & KNOW you’ll be OKAY regardless

Get to the root of it, change the pattern, & make peace
