And so, as an intuitive eater, as a body recovered from an eating disorder, as a practicing Jew whose favorite holiday has always been Pesach, I'm choosing to liberate myself from the expectation of restricting my food.
I am already a vegetarian. I'm already #glutenfree and mostly #dairyfree to help regulate what used to be chronic sinus infections. What more could I possibly ask of myself in cutting out leavened bread or chickpeas and beans (I'm Ashkenazi) when that's a staple of my protein!
So this is me reminding other Jews out there, whether you do or have ever struggled with an eating disorder, whether you wrestle with your body and food, you have to save yourself first. That's the point of this holiday anyhow. I'm not a rabbi, so consult one as needed.
But I feel like I"m allowed to tell you pekuah nefesh - save a soul. Save yourself. An eating disorder is a mental illness. It is not a permanent place in which to live. THIS is what recovery looks like. THIS - this FREEDOM to choose.
