Food became the enemy of my life when my eating disorder began at age 15\u2014and I vowed to be around it as little as possible. My (upon reflection, terrible) rationale: How can I avoid food if I&#8217;m in the kitchen cooking it? Plus, by skipping out on cooking, I figured I had more time to exercise after work and less time to stand around smelling food and tasting it\u2014which would have been a strict defeat, at least according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/eating-disorder-resources\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/eating-disorder-resources\/\">my eating disorder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward years later. Today, after many years of therapy and clinical treatment by professionals, I still often feel \u201cbehind\u201d as an adult in the kitchen. After growing up in a traditional home, I struggled to &#8216;unlearn&#8217; my antiquated belief that I was letting down my \u201cfeminine essence\u201d by not being able to quickly and efficiently put home-cooked meals on the table. I&#8217;m slow and methodical with my cooking (and chopping), and I want to do it alone.<\/p>\n<p>When I began my recovery journey from my eating disorder in 2013, my stature and facial expression in the kitchen resembled a deer in headlights. Once I started learning how to cook, I realized how little I knew about what foods \u201cgo together,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/spices-for-digestion\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/spices-for-digestion\/\">which spices to use and when<\/a>, and cooking lingo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kitchen-confidence\/\" current-title=\"\u2018Why Feeling Comfortable in the Kitchen Was a Pivotal Part of Unlearning My Disordered Food Rules\u2014and Rebuilding My Confidence\u2019\" current-image=\"Stocksy_txp1d14c8e2Fok300_Small_3545497-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-03-14\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kitchen-confidence\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kitchen-confidence\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kitchen-confidence\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Food is a universal language, but I didn\u2019t totally know how to speak it. At times, this made me feel like I\u2019m on a lone island\u2014and still sometimes does.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, when my partner\u2019s mom visited us in Colombia, she and I had to make dinner for eight people. In the midst of what was, more or less, a breakdown for me as I eyed all the different foods and spices, his mother swooped in and made it seem so easy. She grabbed various items and said, \u201cOkay, we can make something from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>What? No recipe!? <\/em>I watched her in awe. I&#8217;ve never made a meal without following the directions step-by-step. I&#8217;m not one of those people who can just \u201cthrow together\u201d a meal. I groan and stress over the idea of making a decision about what to cook.<\/p>\n<h2>For me, healing started with self-acceptance<\/h2>\n<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve had to work on changing my perspective around food and cooking, learning how to reimagine the two in a more helpful way. I&#8217;ve learned cooking is inherently a trial-and-error process; it\u2019s not something you can be perfect at. This is hard for me to accept as a quintessential type-A personality.<\/p>\n<p>But with that knowledge, and after practicing certain dishes several times, I&#8217;ve become more comfortable with adding, exchanging, and eyeballing ingredients. In turn, this has done two things: made cooking feel more natural and calm, and quieted my \u201ceating disorder voice\u201d that used to count calories on autopilot. Additionally, I&#8217;ve learned to have a backup plan in case a meal goes wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Music is something that\u2019s been a major support for me, as well. When I&#8217;m <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-practice-self-acceptance\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-practice-self-acceptance\/\">worried about whether a vegetable is chopped perfectly<\/a> or I put too much X or Y in a dish, music distracts me. It\u2019s therapeutic, really. (More specifically, some of my favorite artists for kitchen dancing: Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, and Ray Charles.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also learned to embrace the belief that cooking can be a communal space for bonding, and even a source of joy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/summer-dinner-party-caviar\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/summer-dinner-party-caviar\/\">Dinner parties<\/a> have become a favorite type of gathering for me, in which my friends and I all cook or bring a dish. From putting out the plates to lighting the candles to starting the music, I feel a thrill from the experience\u2014not the dread I would typically feel at the idea of doing \u201ccooking chores.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The &#8216;marathon-not-sprint&#8217; concept is an empowering daily reminder<\/h2>\n<p>Altering my belief in this way\u2014along with just owning my struggles with cooking\u2014has been so helpful. I&#8217;m no Gordon Ramsey, and that\u2019s perfectly okay.<\/p>\n<p>I want to be clear that this has taken time, however, and I&#8217;m still growing. Eating my &#8220;fear foods,&#8221; stopping purging, avoiding binge eating, and being at peace with not exercising a certain amount of times per week have all taken me years.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/ihaventshavedinsixweeks.com\/2018\/07\/30\/hellofresh-grub-hub-or-whole-foods-tips-on-cooking-with-an-eating-disorder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/ihaventshavedinsixweeks.com\/2018\/07\/30\/hellofresh-grub-hub-or-whole-foods-tips-on-cooking-with-an-eating-disorder\/\">a blog post back in 2019 about my experiences and tips<\/a>. Even since then, I see now how my perspectives around cooking have shifted. I&#8217;ve healed more. The more I have stuck with recovery, the more confidence I\u2019ve gained in being able to live in peace without calorie counts, and have a pint of ice cream in the freezer without believing that I\u2019d binge on it.<\/p>\n<p>In short, after battling an eating disorder, I don\u2019t always feel super confident in the kitchen. But I know that at the end of the cooking process is me and a loved one happily chowing down\u2014and my confidence (and comfort) grows.<\/p>\n<p><em>As told to <a href=\"https:\/\/ihaventshavedinsixweeks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/ihaventshavedinsixweeks.com\/\">Lindsey Hall<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you or someone you know is struggling with disordered eating, you don\u2019t have to do it alone.
