Fun and some real information about post operative food cravings and the feeling of loss!
Here lies our dearly departed feast favorites and the old 'us'. 🌹🍕
In all seriousness - Let's talk about food grief - it's a thing, and it's okay to feel it. Before we welcomed this transformation, food might have played various roles in our lives:
🥄 The Comforter: Turning to food for comfort during stress or sadness.
🎉 The Celebrator: Associating every celebration with indulging in large amounts of food.
🙇♂️ The Escapist: Using food as a way to avoid dealing with emotions or tough situations.
🕰️ The Time Filler: Eating out of boredom rather than hunger.
It's normal to mourn the loss of food as you knew it and the old version of yourself. What matters is remembering the 'why' of your transformation journey and the vibrant life you're moving towards.
👋 Farewell to the days of using food as anything but nourishment and joy. As we bid adieu to our old habits, we embrace the journey ahead with a plate half full (literally and metaphorically). Here's to celebrating every small victory and finding new, healthier ways to cope, celebrate, and fill our time.
