It’s so tough to be around all this food! Thanksgiving was fantastic but boy did I eat a lot! I treated myself to my mom’s custard pie and it was like Heaven! Good thing its only once a year that she makes it. But what was nice was that instead of binging it was like a treat to me. And now I am good until next year when I will eat it again.
Is that how you feel about the holidays and being a binge eater? Eating compulsively is different than overeating on the holiday so I want to make sure that if you are reading this and wondering if you are a binge eater please check out my page on symptoms and faq’s about compulsive overeating so you can get the facts.
So how are the holidays for you? Are you overwhelmed, sad or lonely, or joyous and celebrating with your family? Believe it or not, any of these scenarios can cause a binge. Take it slowly, understand what is going on with you and see if you can recognize the pattern or the binge. Is it an opportunity binge, a boredom binge, a stress binge?
I truly hope you can enjoy the holidays and look forward to a happy new year.
