Thanks so much for this, Tabitha.
I can relate so much to this. When I was really young, I wasn’t allowed to eat ANYTHING ‘unhealthy’- no candy, no cake, no chocolate, no chips, no pizza, no ice cream, no burgers. Nothing of the sort. And then, at birthday parties, I literally sat at the table and ate ‘unhealthy’ foods for the entire duration of the party. Needless to say I felt like a pig, and I wondered what was wrong with me and why I could never stop eating ‘junk food’ once I was allowed to eat it. After recovering from Anorexia, I now know that it is because those foods were restricted that I couldn’t stop eating them- as you say countless times on your blog.
And, now that I am recovered, and eat whatever I want, I no longer overeat ‘junk foods’. Fancy that!
Once again, thanks for another amazing podcast, Tabitha.
