Conquering a Fear Food

Okay, so on Sunday night I did something I haven't successfully done in over a year.
I ate pizza. Two whole slices. Fatty, cheesy, oily pizza.
I had a salad, some garlic bread and a sugar-free drink with it to bump up the calories a little, because two slices of pizza isn't enough food, but I ate pizza.
My ultimate fear food.
Pizza, pasta, cheese, potato, ice cream - they're my absolute scariest fear foods.

But I've conquered successfully pasta over the last few months, and I don't get too scared eating it anymore.
As for pizza, I never thought I'd get over that. Every time I've had it, I've purged it. I get scared just thinking about eating it. But I did it. Two whole slices of takeaway.

Some tips for conquering fear foods:
1. Have some non-scary food with it, like a big salad.
2. Eat smaller portions to start out with, and supplement the calories with something less scary.
3. Distract yourself while you're eating, music, TV, a game e.t.c takes your mind off it
4. Remind yourself that it's a food! Just a food, that normal people eat and enjoy, and that's it's okay to have it.

Remember everyone, you deserve food and life and recovery. <3
