I am glad you wrote this because I wondered what exactly you meant by the title. This article hits me hard because right now I’m uneating the elephant myself. Some of those toxic relationships I talked to you about are no longer palatable to me. And it was just like that too: I woke up one morning and had just had enough. Enough!
I like that you call it an elephant because I don’t know what else to call it. For now, anyway. I hope I can pin it down one day though. I guess it has something to do with trusting my gut. . . Knowing this meat in the soup is NOT healthy or nourishing to me.
I hear you! It's such a rude awakening to discover that things are not as we thought and probably never were as good as we thought. The elephant metaphor has been used a lot, I found a lot of books talking about how to eat an elephant, but I don't want to eat more of that elephant in the room, I want to purge him away.
I hope you can figure out what made your elephant so unpalatable. Sending lots of love and blessings your way!

“Purging the Elephant”— an alternative title😃
What a great title for a great book, Cheri!
I think I’ve been uneating some elephants for most of my life too, actually.
Thank you!
