Client Quote # 81: tasting the food
This is a powerful shift in mindset that can happen during the journey of recovery from an ED. When we are stuck in the throes of disordered eating, food often becomes a source of anxiety or guilt ๐
Whether itโs through restriction, bingeing or mindlessly eating, the joy and experience of food can become lost in this cycle of negative thoughts. Recovery is so much more than just relearning eating habits, itโs also about reclaiming the simple pleasures that food is supposed to bring. To rediscover flavours and textures and aromas and the enjoyment of the experience ๐
We learn to reconnect with our senses and our bodies ๐ง๐ป
Itโs a reminder that food is not the enemy, but instead is a source of nourishment, comfort and joy that we all deserve ๐๐ฅฆ๐ฅ๐๐ฎ
