You can’t always have what you want

Threading Together

These are a few of my favourite things…but you can’t always have what you want.

I am someone who eats to live, not live to eat and come from a family where food wasn’t central to memories.

My plate of food represents a few of my favourite foods which are now black listed by my body – grapefruit, pickled onions, midget gems, rich teas and ginger. In 2019 I was finally diagnosed with IBS, and typically food I am particularly drawn to are triggers. But I allow myself a small treat from the list if my body has been stable for a while.
