What is food?

Food is sometimes salty, sometimes sweet.
Food is sometimes messy, sometimes clean.
Food can be fun.
Food can be convenient.
Food can be fast.
Food can be slow.

Food is not power.  Food is not control.  Food is not having judgement.

They say you are what you eat.  I think you are HOW you eat.  This changes everyday in reaction to what your body and your life needs.  Sometimes your food needs to be messy and fast.  Sometimes it can be clean and slow.  It can never be perfect and it should never be judged.

If you live your life the way you eat then to judge your food is to judge your life, yourselves, and your relationships with the world.  Wouldn't you want your life to be messy and fun instead?

Keep ordering,

"Learning to respect your body is a journey"

When I saw this line I instantly thought about my recent struggles with respecting my body.

It's definitely not an easy journey and it's not a quick one either.  I had a good friend remind me last night of how far I have come in loving my body and embracing who I am.  It's getting towards the end of the semester and as I graduating senior it's easy to forget about yourself in the whole process... as ironic as that is.

I was reminded this week that no matter what life brings you, you can't lose yourself in it.  You have to remember that taking care of the body that has been given to you is just as important if not more than the final you have to study for or the many demands that life brings.

Today I'm taking care of myself and I hope you will too.
