What's your position?

When the food feels like it should do.
When it feels like a source of energy.
When I know food is for life.
When I'm aware that I cannot live without.
When it no longer sits in the front row.
When it has taken a seat in a few rows back.
When food is enjoyed.
When it doesn't consume my every thought.
When I'm loved while eating.
When I've no guilt or shame if I enjoy and need food.
When there's one meal I look forward to the most.
When I want an early night so breakfast will come sooner.
When there isn't anger inside when a meal doesn't have 50 different tastes.
When a meal can be skipped and a sense of ease and calm is still inside.
When the reason for skipping a meal isn't to avoid calories.
When there's no fear while thinking about what to have for dinner.
When I think about the dinner I had the night before, with pleasure and not guilt.
When finishing a meal isn't scary because there's no need for wanting more.
When one dinner satisfies for hours.
When the body no longer feels starved and knows there's more food to come.
When spices aren't required to make the most out of each and every meal.
When the speed at which a meal is eaten doesn't determine the outcome of that day.
When thinking too much about food doesn't arise guilt.

And finally.. When analyzing the position food nows takes along the path of fighting Anna and knowing it could strengthen her and challenge her a little too much which could lead to old patterns taking over but feeling strong enough to take on this challenge for knowing that, deep down, a battle like this I can win and will give me more power to eventually win the war.

And.. When this doesn't make Anna go crazy and she has knowlegde of the position she takes at this present moment, in my life, and I have knowlegde that this position could change within the next few hours and we are both still able to eat and feel okay.. Then doesn't that mean that all is well with the world? Yes and it confirms what Mr. Acupuncturist said to me weeks ago: "Tell the world that you and your new found friend, Anna, are doing okay".. without trying to get ahead of myself..
