♡Recovery win guys!
♡Yesterday I went to Tesco and I bought all three flavors of the new vegan Ben and Jerry's and let me tell you, it is FAB.
♡ I tried a spoonful of each last night (the one in the pic is my favorite 😍)
♡ Being vegan is not an excuse to restrict from yummy foods, just because they're a little harder to find. ♡And that leads on to my main point today... 'there are no bad foods.'
This is especially true in recovery when all foods are good foods, foods that will help to restore your health and happiness)
♡ People always label foods and put them into categories but the truth is your body needs all of the categories in order to function properly. ♡ And so please, don't ever feel guilty for eating 'junk food', everything is healthy in moderation.
♡ By eating you're nourishing your body, s good thing, and so why should we feel guilty? I know it's incredibly difficult to think like this when you're struggling but it's the truth and it's important to keep reminding yourself of facts like this to improve your capacity to rationalize with your disorder.
♡And even if you don't suffer from an ED you will probably have still experienced guilt after eating and so it's still good to recognize these things. ♡ So, to conclude - all foods are good foods, necessities for survival, and guilt is an entirely learned concept which, while it's frustrating to think that you have learned such a negative thing and it's not something innate, that you were born with, it also means that it can be 'unlearnt'. I know it's hard but you've got this lovely and I'm here with you every step of the way.
Huge love and hugs,
Tessa
