I don't personally know you, but I am so glad that you exist! You have helped me and so many others! I hope you're proud of yourself, because you deserve to be!
Oh yes, before recovery the most important thing about anything I did was the food part. For example, if we went to the beach the most important thing was the ice cream. I only allowed myself to eat it after swimming and then felt guilty about it. But I thought about it the whole time. I would say: "swimming was great, the beach was beautiful!" But what was really the best thing for me was that ice cream. And I also felt guilty about not enjoying the beach as much as I said. I thought I was sweet addicted and messed up.
I can totally relate to this! There is of course nothing wrong with enjoying food, yet it is such a relief for food not to be THE most exciting thing anymore, instead being present and enjoying life! :)
