Diet culture preaches that food's sole purpose is to fuel us physically, and that eating for any other reason is "wrong" or “bad.” But that's total bullsh*t—if we were only meant to "eat to live," why would different foods, dishes, or culinary traditions even exist in the first place? Why would we even experience pleasure in food if it was really so morally reprehensible? - We’re wired to find food pleasurable, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of or guilty about. Food is SO much more than fuel, and a peaceful relationship with food is about allowing food to nourish not just your body, but also your mind and your soul. Desire is just as valid a reason to eat as physical nourishment, and we need both in order to thrive. - If you want to hear more about HAES, intuitive eating, and body liberation, click the link in my bio to subscribe to Food Psych today! - And if you’re ready for a deeper dive into all things anti-diet, come check out my intuitive eating online course at christyharrison.com/course ❤️ - [Image description: Breakfast items laid on a white surface, including honey, oatmeal with fruit, coffee, waffle with fruit, and cream, with quote by Christy Harrison from episode 173 of Food Psych® Podcast, reading “Nourishment and pleasure are both such essential parts of our relationship with food.”] - https://ift.tt/2zKrAtZ
