Think of the holiday season as an opportunity to practice having a more relaxed relationship with food.
Holiday meals, like the holidays themselves, are supposed to be fun and relaxed, a time to enjoy with friends and family. But what happens when you, like lots of us, have major anxiety about balancing your usual diet with enjoying your seasonal faves? In a perfect world, eating would never be associated with guilt, and the holidays would be experienced purely as a joyful time of year. But we don’t live in a perfect world.
I find that clients who have an all-or-nothing mentality go into the holidays with strict plans to not give into temptation and when that rigidity and avoidance of the stuff they really want to eat inevitably doesn’t pan out, they go the “all” route and eat and drink far more than they enjoy, which increases their feelings of food guilt and makes it that much harder for them to get back to their baseline of non-holiday life and eating.
