If this resonates with you, I need you to understand that this is not normal behavior. Food is the most primal form of nurturing. When we love someone, we want to feed them. It’s instinctual. We want them to have the best portion. When someone systematically creates anxiety, shame, and scarcity around your food, they are attacking your most basic human instinct. You are not a stray dog. You are not a disposal for their leftovers. You deserve a fresh meal; that’s not entitlement. You deserve to sit at a table where you’re not choking on anxiety with every bite.
Conclusion: You Deserve Better
If you’ve experienced this specific kind of food torture, let me know in the comments. Did they make you feel guilty for eating? Did they bring you their trash and expect praise? Let’s expose this behavior for what it is. I will talk to you in the next episode. Until then, as always, let the healing begin.
