A Daily Challenge (Facing "Fear Foods")

Hello Community.

I present to you a challenge you can do for the next fortnight. Basically, here, I have a container that bears multiple pieces of paper, with each paper having a food item written on it. I'll post one food item that will be selected randomly everyday.


What are "fear foods", you may ask?


It is a term used to describe certain nutrients that one is afraid to eat. The reason for the fear and avoidance of a certain food can vary from one person to another(Like anxiety, Irrational fear of weight gain, etc).


Who can take this challenge?


Almost everyone. Specifically, anyone who has a restrictive eating disorder / has a bad relationship with food. But it's preferable for persons who are still in the beginning of recovery or/and they are severely underweight to not join this. That's because they might risk having some health problems without any prior consultation of a dietitian.


•Suggestion: make a list of all of the food items you tend to avoid. It can help you navigate the fear you may have surrounding them, and getting rid of any Irrational fears that is disrupting your day-to-day life. By November, the challenge can be restarted and include the kinds of food you struggle to have.

For now, it'll be random, chosen from my container. So you'll need to push through.


This challenge will span from the 24th/Oct to the 6/Nov. So, we'll start tomorrow.

I am not completely 'anti-diet' nor do I hold the opinion of that all kinds of food are the same in terms of a one food type being more nutritious than the other. For now, if you're undergoing an extreme mindset of "Bad foods & Good foods" that it disrupts your life, it's better to try to gradually neutralise these kinds of thoughts and stop making yourself bound to certain sets of calories and micronutrients.


Hope this helps.(:
