Enjoying food in 2018

For a while I didn't eat without being shouted down by intrusive thoughts about body image, calories and nutrition. It's been a few years and I no longer deal with these thoughts, but as I aimed to eat healthier, I was scared about falling back into that trap. So  I decided to take a quick video of every meal I had out - of the food and the people I was with. I absolutely love eating at restaurants and think it's one of life's true joys, and as I've moved around, closer and further away from different people, I've begun to appreciate eating out with friends and family even more. So here is (nearly) every meal out I had in 2018, and in every single one, taking this video was a conscious reminder to enjoy the food without guilt and to enjoy the company without taking it for granted.
