The Authentic Eating Matrix 🎉
“Life is too short to put up with a crappy relationship with food or be unhappy with how we’re nourishing ourselves.”
Food is a vessel through which love flows 🥣
Human infants are the most vulnerable and require the longest duration of care of all mammals.
Babies requires regular feeding, and when caregivers do so, they support attachment, bonding and love.
Babies get energy from food, turning that energy into love in return.
As we get older, feeding ourselves becomes a form of self-love.
Why doing body image work is like cleaning out the fridge 🧼
Picture your fridge. On the bottom shelf, pushed right to the back, lies your favourite Tupperware. Inside is that leftover curry that you had two weeks ago. Or could it have been four weeks ago?
You know it’s there. You get a glimpse of it every time you open the fridge door. Every time you unload the groceries, you think “I should really clean that out. I need the space. But I reaaaally don’t want to.” And so you just avoid it. You pretend it doesn’t exist.
Can endometriosis impact your relationship with food and body? 🤷🏻♀️
Endometriosis is a condition that can result in you feeling like your body is out to get you. That even simple bodily functions feel out of control. “What’s my experience of pain going to be like today?” “Will I be bloated?” “Will I have diarrhoea or not go to the bathroom for the next five days?”
Surely that has a profound impact on how you feel about your body.
