Food, Oh my
Posted: July 30, 2021
What to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, with whom to eat with, where to eat oh my!!
So many questions so little answers because everybody and their brother has an opinion about how to do it. It's spoken about in the Bible many times about joyous attachment and in celebration and goodness. So why, oh why are we so messed up about it?
Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
As I heal my gut and continue to eat pretty much the same thing day after day, the hope of healing keeps me going. The vision of having joyous celebration over a meal brings me a subtle smile and leaves me curious. The spice rack, the herbs, the varietals of flavor that I know God created, is inspiring to help me carry on this endless (ug) journey. It seems to be mundane and sometimes insane (doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result) task. I know something powerful, something miraculous is happening in there. Can I tune in so deeply, can I gain such inner insight that true intuitive eating can happen and I can heal? Boy, I hope so, cause this bland chicken is for the birds!! I'm gonna keep trying but it's tough sometimes.
I wish you well all who suffer when trying to eat and still hopeful that one day the meal of your choice will not leave you doubled over in pain but instead leave you feeling invigorated, energized, youthful and joyous. I'm grateful today even if I'm not able to eat what I want, I'm grateful that I have options, frankly that I get to eat and have the vision of feeling better one bite at a time. Until next time, best wishes on your choice today!
