POST 19

I've been toying with this idea about allowing myself to trust that the food I eat will have a loving and healthy relationship with my body.

I am pondering alot about my fears of food and what it does to my body.

I've been thinking...doesn't fear in general cause a certain amount of stress on the body?

If you think about all the times I engage with food, every meal, every snack and every drink...if I'm afraid of food, then thats a heck of alot of fearful thoughts I've been having.

I've been thinking that not only can food way me down, but the fear around food can way me down too!
Emotionally heavy thoughts like helplessness and hopelessness and fear and shame, and judgement too...they are all really heavy thoughts to be carrying around.

If I am sustaining a fear of food and what it can do to my body/size, I'm sure that adds weight to my emotional body.

Isn't that a comical thought...that my fear of food and the weight it can put on me, may be creating a heaviness in other areas of my life...like my psyche, emotions, and spirit...
