Transforming the Perception of Food
The speaker discusses the impact of societal pressures and personal experiences on their perception of food, illustrating a long-standing struggle with disordered eating. Influences from peers during middle and high school fostered unhealthy attitudes towards food, leading to a mindset where certain foods were seen as enemies while exercise was viewed as a punishment. A transformative experience abroad in France allowed the speaker to connect with a new perspective, where food was not only enjoyed but celebrated in the company of friends. This newfound appreciation for food as a source of pleasure rather than guilt has shifted their approach towards eating, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with people who value this celebratory attitude.
