It is so arranged that from childhood we involuntarily let unnatural tastes into our lives, alien to nature itself. We grow, change, forget faces, places, but these tastes - sweet, salty, warm - seem to be written in us, like some secret melody that can neither be erased nor rewritten.
And for many who decide to change their diet, the main obstacle is not hunger, not a lack of familiar dishes, but that same invisible, but strong emotional attachment to food. Food ceases to be just food, it turns into a memory, a symbol of something more, which seems almost impossible to let go of.
The aroma of grandma's jam, the coziness of the kitchen on New Year's Eve, a pie baked by mom's hands. Each taste is a door to the past, moments, a lost feeling of security and warmth. A reminder of the times when life seemed simpler, and decisions were made by someone else.
And the most difficult thing on the path to living food is not the body, but the mind. To realize that it is not about mashed potatoes or chocolate cake, but how we glorify them. To understand that it is not the taste that holds us back, but associations and attachments. It is as if we are afraid that without this food we will lose touch with loved ones, culture, with our childhood. But is it worth holding on to something that destroys us, just because it seems sacred?
Renouncing attachments is not just a diet. It is a challenge to yourself, to your inner maturity. It is a willingness to see that the past cannot be returned, and to stop looking for comfort in a plate. It is accepting that the taste of childhood is not grandma's cutlets, but the moments of happiness that you created with her.
Yes, this path is not easy. The taste of the past sometimes seems sacred. But it is only a reflection of our memories, which are distorted by time. The transition to living food is liberation. Liberation in a broad sense - from illusions, from the past, from habits that hold us back. This is a step towards the present, towards oneself.
We will talk about practical ways to weaken this attachment in the following articles. Remember, the result comes not from thinking, but from actions. Start by letting go of one false addiction - and you will feel how not only the body, but also the soul is liberated.
