Overcome my eating disorder. (read all 18 entries…)
The "joy" of eating 2 years ago

Have any of you seen the Sara Lee commercial on television? It’s like a hundred snaps of different people eating different foods to a song called “Happy-happy-joy-joy” and the end of it says something like The joy of eating.

I can’t help but feel sick to my stomach every time I see it.

Seriously, I have to walk out of the room.

I haven’t seen the commercial. But I understand your feelings. One time I was in a restaurant and everyone was eating so sloppily (or at least it seemed like it) and it freaked me out, to the point where there was no way in hell I was eating another bite.
BUT, that is not the real point, why do you think that the commercial bothers you so much? Are you afraid of “enjoying food”. Dig deeper into your reaction.

I think it’s resentment. In the commercial, these people are enjoying eating. Young people. Older people. People of every shape, size and color. They eat with huge smiles and with such delight…and I can’t remember the last time I felt happy when I ate anything…and I wish I could.

HUGS, you can enjoy food. It takes time. It is not impossible. I think that once we can see that we NEED food to survive and be happy(yes be happy and healthy), then we can start enjoying food with a sense of contentment. Food is supposed to be part nutrition and part pleasure. You can get there, it can happen. =)

Thank you dear:)
