FOOD DIVORCE

We have an unhealthy relationship,

You and I.

I'm tired of the way you consume my life

You are the way I experience happiness, sadness,

rewards, loss, failure. You control me. I control you.

I'm tired of our constant, circular fights

I want to change your importance.

I want to want other things more.

I want to go metal detecting instead of getting ice cream

I want to feel more excited about a new book than a restaurant.

I want to gift my creativity, my brains, my talent

to conversations, projects, art, adventures

and not cooking, and dieting, and the circular mindfeckery that is you

Food, you are a toxic relationship in my life.

I want a divorce. I want you to leave me the hell alone.

We can still share the gut, and we can raise a healthy body together.

You get visitation, and we'll do our damnedest to respect each other

for the sake of the body.

But my mind needs to move the feck on.

My life is better without your constant presence.

Love this!!! Thanks for sharing your talents and thoughts!!! I may steal this and pretend I wrote it. Is it truly plagiarism if no other trees are around to see the one fall in the forest?

I am always grateful for your thoughts, you are a truly talented wordsmith.

This belongs in a book. I needed to hear this!

I LOVE THIS! I’m going to do something similar. Thank you for inspiring me!
