My dietician today told me in our appointment today that the people most successful in creating a nourishing and balanced relationship with food are "B" students. That is to say that the all-or-nothing mindset can be so harmful when it comes to feeding ourselves.
I feel so grateful for this substack and feel so seen and affirmed in this space.
I’m someone who loves to cook but who also has (real) OCD about food safety and has cooking as the first executive function thing that goes when I’m stressed, and your essays are really helping me come up with ways to think about food that are more about meeting myself where I am.
