The Truth of Me and Food....

and here comes the food.......

I have had it! 

Food, you and I have to talk.

For years now, I have hated food. Because of a whole lot of different reasons, growing up with not a lot of money, food became a huge focus. Mostly because I craved it so much. Then came the pressure of different movements, diets, expectations connected to food. Which meant I ate the worse of it (because I didn't have it as a child and had craved it). These things were not really food. Then would hate myself, listen to the pressure of those around me and media which would make me do a crash diet. Lose some weight but never enough, so would binge again and put it back on.

Sound familiar?

But this year I am stopping, no scales, no diets, no eating food that tastes like cardboard.

I am going to remember my relationship with food again.

I am going to eat, I am going to fuel my body and if I crave that chicken burger, I am going to eat that too.

What I am going to do is;
Eat when I am hungry, stop when I am full, even if there is food still on my plate.

I am going to cook more and I remember why I loved it so much in the first place. Cooking has always been a comfort spot for me, but as my hatred of food grew, the more I avoided the kitchen.

I am going to keep walking, camping, swimming and going to the gym, because I like the way I feel afterwards. But avoid the madness that comes when I push myself so hard and I don't see the results I want, so I just give up. Instead I will just do it, just because, and then I can enjoy it (and often do it longer).

The theory is to stop thinking so much and more listen to when my body needs to move and when it needs to eat.

So come on 2018 and come on food, lets dance <3 Mia <3 xxxx
