It's been a while since I posted an update about my struggle with food. I'd like to say that I eat perfectly every day. I'd like to say that I eat only healthy food all of the time. But I can't say that. And I'm okay with that.
What I can proudly say is that I have achieved food freedom in many senses. I don't obsess over food. I don't think about food unless I'm hungry. If I'm paying attention, I can identify compulsive behavior (because yes, I still have it) and counter it. I eat until I'm satisfied. Honestly, I do overeat. I'm not perfect. But I don't obsess over that either anymore. It's just not worth it.
I had to fight to get where I am; it was extremely uncomfortable, it was hard, it was not fun. But I did it--and what I have to show for it is priceless: freedom.
