A Daily Challenge (Facing "Fear Foods")

Katharsis22 October 23rd

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.

Well... this is it. I hope this was helpful for anyone's recovery progress. Even though it seems that I've gone with this on my own as I see, haha. Anyway, anyone can refer back to this at anytime. Or, maybe start this over again in the future.


On a final note, I'd like to get attention to the fact, that if you, the reader, actually have are able to have on your plate is something to have gratitude for. If you can guarantee that you have an amount of food available that can last for a week or more and that you also have an access to variety of food right now, that's worthy of being grateful for. This is noticeably taken for granted by some individuals. So, if that's the case for you, you may think about that for a bit and savor this privilege.
