Feet on the Path

Morality and food. I thought I was past this and didn’t give it much thought but with all of the HAES/FA talk in the fatosphere as of late, I realize this is my biggest block with treating HAES in my mind the way it is meant to be treated (i.e., without all of my fricken’ baggage).
So that’s where I am. I’m happy to finally be at a place where I feel like I have some guidance in my path. I was wrong when I thought I wasn’t feeling guilty over certain food choices. I am. It may be a tiny, quiet voice but it’s there. Nagging at me. Judging me. Being upset that my food choices weren’t always making my body feel good. Removing the morality from food is the first step I need to take and, by doing that, I think my food decisions will be more in tune with what my body actually wants.
You’re in a good place. Now you can practice honoring that voice. Some of what it says is good, some bad. Maybe this time it’s signaling that you should experiment with foods to find out what delights you and what you don’t want in your life anymore.
