My relationship with food isn't greatest, but something hit me today when I was spending time with a child that has less than 1 year of experience in life.
This child had a better relationship with food than I had, despite me having 15+ years of experience in life. He knew when he was hungry, and would not ignore his hunger cues, like I would normally do. He ate until he was satiated, then stop eating as soon as he was satisfied.
Although this seemed like nothing to everyone else, it opened my eyes to see how I was actually supposed to eat. Not until I couldn't eat anymore and not ignoring when I was hungry so I could 'save calories'. The baby knew his hunger cues and listened to them, which leads to him getting the correct nutrients and not being fixated on food.
I want to be able to eat like that too. I don't know why I stopped eating like that but I want to develop habits now that would allow me to also eat to satisfaction and thus have a healthy relationship with food. I think that the reason why babies know how to eat intuitively is because they are not yet ingrained/understand the unhealthy food culture that is prevelant today.
Also the tiny food that he gets is really cute lmao.
