Today at work, we celebrate Chinese New Year with food. In the past, this would have been another one of my opportunities to lose control and just think oh I screwed up and didn't eat right. However, I took this opportunity to challenge myself to enjoy the my co-workers and the food without anxiety. So often the stress and anxiety of eating around others would overwhelm me and make me lose control. Today, I tried a little bit of everything and walked away pretty happy with no guilt.
When I cracked open my fortune cookie, it only seemed fitting that it would read: Investigate new possibilities with friends. Now is the time!!!
Every day of my journey, I learn something new. Whether it be about food, myself, my feelings or why food became such a presence in my life. I try to celebrate ever milestone or at least congratulate myself when I don't melt down.
I hope all of you discover the possibilities of being free of ED and all the hope it can bring into your life!!!!
