'You don't need to earn your food, and you don't need to burn [off] your food.'
"Liking food and enjoying eating is a good thing and not something to fear or feel badly about," O'Malley said. Food can provide comfort and can be connected to memories growing up or to loved ones. It can make you feel energized and support you in getting through a workout or a day doing the things you want to do. Food is often part of celebrations and can be a way to bring people together. Food tastes good and is meant to bring us joy.
Cooking, baking, and eating can also be a way to cope with stress, sadness, or anxiety. O'Malley said that"isn't detrimental; it's a coping mechanism." You're adapting to your environment and circumstances and taking care of yourself — pretty neat of you! She advised that like any coping mechanism, we don't want only one. So also thinking of some other things that soothe you and make you feel good can be helpful.
We all need to eat, every day — it's nonnegotiable. Eating keeps us alive, gives us energy, and is a way we can take care of ourselves. Food is meant to taste good, and enjoying food is a positive thing. Having a positive relationship with food actually increases the variety of our diet, which helps us take in more valuable nutrients to keep us healthy. O'Malley wants to remind us that,"You don't need to earn your food, and you don't need to burn [off] your food.
O'Malley said,"The best way to get away from this feeling is to eat in a way that allows you to enjoy foods you like, and foods that make you feel good, every day. Ditch the labels, and start moving toward that gray area where eating can be flexible and individual to you."
