DAY 22 - Uncovering Your Relationship with Food (30 Seconds)

Here are some common ways to view food.

Highlight the role(s) that food plays in your life:

I see food as...

• Reward

• Entertainment

• Fulfillment

• Excitement

• Enemy

• Temptation

• Lover

• Companion

• Loyal best friend

Food has come to mean so much more than fuel that keeps our body running. Unconsciously, we imbue food with the power to fill many physical and emotional needs. It becomes our savior, nurturer, friend, and lover, who is always available, never lets us down, never puts us down, and never says no. Epitomizing fidelity, no matter what is happening in our lives, whether we feel on top of the world or down in the dumps, food is there to keep us company. For the fleeting moment it spends in our mouth, our favorite food always delivers.

I need to stop seeing food as a the above purple highlighted areas and start seeing it as a means of fuel, as i have said before, I am making big changes but at the moment it is still very 'concious" hopefully over time those decisions will become more "normal" for me!
