It helps us to define our culture, family, and community. Health at Every Size was started during the late 60s to discuss the mistreatment of people in larger bodies. Mealtime should be pleasurable, but for some of us, it becomes a battlefield. Obsession around food develops from deprivation around food! But this means food starts to develop TOO MUCH meaning, to the point that it interferes with our life. Our relationship with food is often a mirror image to how we're relating to something or someone else in our life. It indicates an unmet need! We have everything within us to meet our needs, and so investigating what those needs are might be the key! What would it be like to no longer fight the power that food has in your life? What if you gave food the power that it wants, and gave yourself permission to spend more time with food? Or to bring new foods home? To eat them and appreciate them? Instead of fighting food, what if you gave it the power that it's been yearning for? Connect with food in a way that gives you space to experiment!
