Can there even be a worse mix?
I HATE the time from Thanksgiving through Christmas, New Year's Eve. Not only are there a ton of forced social events I already don't look forward to, but every stinking one of them involves FOOD!
I am "recovered" well mostly I guess, I don't think it will ever be 100%, and even so, holidays hit me hard with all the food, food, food.
And worse, then comes New Year's and January with DIET, DIET, DIET blaring everywhere - social media, TV, magazines, friends & relatives. I am at a normal BMI for my height and I do not NEED to diet, but try to convince the ED thoughts of this. Every time I get around something/someone talking about dieting, here I go beating myself up for not eating healthy enough, not dieting, not exercising enough.
Are the holidays tough for anyone else here?
