Is It Normal to Look Forward to a Certain Event Because of the Food, Rather Than Dreading it?

In this episode, Han & Emily discuss the normality of looking forward to food occasions - both in and after recovery. Food is a wonderful facilitator for connection socially, culturally and mentally. The key take away from this episode is:

• It is ok to enjoy food! There is no gold medal for those who insist they don't!
• An undernourished brain and body naturally prioritises food. For it to come off of a pedestal, you must fully show your brain that food is no longer a scarce resource.
• Seek out occasions you can reassure your body of unconditional permission + access to food.
• Disordered eating is common in society. Healing your relationship with food in your recovery will set you free to be able to act in a way that is truly in alignment with your values.
