insatiable - by kel - the (un)comfy corner
I used to have a pretty unhealthy relationship with food. In my family home, there was always a plethora of snacks available. ‘Food’ that wasn’t actually fulfilling, that was cheap yet incredibly tantalizing. I couldn’t help myself. Although I wasn’t hungry, I would mosey down into the kitchen, eat ‘just one’ chocolate or one biscuit, and before you know it I’d wake up surrounded by wrappers. This wasn’t a one-off thing either, it was a recurring pattern. I was immensely upset with myself for it, and frustrated with how I couldn’t seem to change. I didn’t feel good in the slightest.1 My struggle was rarely with eating more, it was with stopping after I was full. Something I constantly had to remind myself of was that the food will always be there. “I could go up and get a salad. Then a baguette, then a pizza. Why do I feel the need to put it all on one plate?” ~ Just a Tip with Megan Batoon Podcast, “The Last Episode" My relationship with food parallel to how I choose to spend my time
