In my last appointment with my dietitian, she spoke of my bad food choices as indicators of the extremely low value in which I hold myself. That I wouldn't treat myself so badly (with all the junk food) if I valued myself as I should.
She asked me if I had to either make her eat the food I eat or throw it out for a week, which would I do? No other choices. I said that obviously I would throw it out. I knew she wasn't used to the food and I knew just how bad the food is. She pointed out this shows just how low I value myself and my health.
This came as a bit of a surprise to me because I had been feeling much better, and didn't feel like I had as low self esteem as I used to. I also thought of eating the junk food as a positive thing for myself, despite how bad it is, because I enjoy it and it tastes so good.
It is certainly something to think about. There is something in the idea anyway.
