Your relationship with food

earlnabby

I enjoy food. I love to cook food. I love to feed other people.

My relationship to food is very complicated. I am a decent cook and an very good baker. I had a very critical mom who rarely praised me (getting high grades was assumed) but we bonded in the kitchen. She patiently taught me how to bake and was always positive when I branched out beyond the things she liked to make. To this day I consider making good food the only way to please her. When I want to feel better about myself, I bake and either feed myself or others. Unfortunately, I then overeat the things I bake.
