The holidays always brought my bingeing with binge eating disorder full on. It was my favorite time to binge. I think it was just the combination of cookies, pies, sweets of all sorts, and all of the other delicious holiday food that sent me over the edge. It was like I couldn’t pass any up! I had to eat all of the food and go back for more.
Right now there are so many worries from people. There’s the economy, gift buying, the holiday season in which you should be all giddy with excitement, stress, and so much more. Frankly, it’s hard to feel like it’s the holiday season… but I’m not writing this post to focus on the bad stuff and make you depressed. Instead, I just want you to know that you are not alone in any of this. I’ve talked to so many people who just don’t feel “in the spirit” because of money. Yes, money and yes, it can be depressing and the root of bingeing right now. It can stir up feelings inside of you, worry, and stress and that can make you want to go and binge on anything and everything you can get your hands on. I understand. It’s tough.
Don’t let negative thoughts and feelings push you to the point of bingeing and giving up on all of your success or goals so far. Enjoy the “free” things of this holiday season. You know, the things that can put a smile on your face and take you away from the negative emotions you might be feeling. Drive around at night and look at Christmas lights (one of my favorite things to do right now!). Focus on what you are thankful for in your life. Spend time with the people that mean the most to you (even if it means just getting together at your house instead of going out to lunch). Learn a new hobby and make gifts from scratch. Go for a walk.
Don’t let this holiday season and all the stresses that come along with it get you down. Do whatever you can to stay as far away from binge eating as possible. Remember that you control the bingeing, not the other way around. You are strong and can get through this tough time! Hang in there =)
