I forgot about my pint of chocolate ice cream!
This may not seem like a big deal to you. However, for those who have ever :
~ate a cookie super fast so no one would see
~haven't been able to stop at a couple of potato chips
~attacked a jar of peanut butter before you even notice that it was half way gone
Chances are YOU understand how exciting it was for me when I realized that
" I FORGOT ABOUT MY PINT OF CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM."
Years ago my life
revolved around obtaining & eating chocolate ice cream and then
getting rid of the calories I consumed. I was obsessed with Chocolatey,
Sugary, Creamy Food- aka chocolate ice cream.
I remember while living
in NYC and working at the Hard Rock Cafe that I would binge on their
brownie sundaes. Frantically eating them as quick as I could before
anyone saw. The shame I would experience would ultimately lead me to
eating nachos or having a milkshake OR starving myself the next day. Oh
the cycle was brutal.
My solution?????? I stopped eating chocolate
and sweets for close to 8 years. NADA! No chocolate. No recreational
sugar! I got my sanity back. My life wasn't ruled by desserts.
I was free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And
then 1 day, during my pregnancy, I realized, I wasn't afraid of
chocolate. I wasn't afraid of sugar. So I ate it! OHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I
LOVE chocolate! I am soooo happy to have this deliciousness back into my
life. I can have it now with no SHAME~no Blame~no FEAR of the fat
consequences. I eat it now and sometimes waaayyyyy more than is good
for me. But it doesn't control me.
So, when I forgot about my pint of chocolate ice
cream in my freezer, I was reminded of how far I have come!!!! I can
eat chocolate ice cream without being obsessed by its presence-
essentially
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DOESN'T RULE MY LIFE.
It is not easy to be free of food and body
shame in a society that glamorizes and awards thinness. It is not easy
to enjoy food, when we are bombarded with shoulds and shouldn'ts.
It is possible.
