Taking stock.

I do not fear food.

I am not obsessed with calories, fat grams, “sins”, or “good” food.

I have never suffered from an eating disorder, even though my mother has been both anorexic and bulimic during my youth.

I have very rarely been mocked for my weight or appearance.

I am in a stable, loving relationship.

I have three beautiful children who are healthy and happy.

I have enough food in my cupboards and fridge to nourish everyone in my home.

I do not have to worry about where my next meal will come from, or if my children are getting enough nourishment.

I am astonishingly lucky, and I need to remember that. I need to be more grateful, and more at peace. I’m still working on that.
