I have realized that the holiday season is the hardest for me and it seems like most people with eating disorders. It's months of indulgent rich food. A time for big meals around big tables. A time of basically all the scary food. Coupled with a time to dress up cute and go to lots of parties. This causes a problem. Eating food AND going to parties?! But I can proudly say I think I did pretty great this year. I tried to keep a balance. I did treat myself to McDonalds one night :) Let me just say, it was so so satisfying. I even had enchiladas this season, I tried brussel sprouts for the first time too. I ate a pretty good share of cookies and lots of chocolates. I drank fancy hot drinks at bars WITH whipped cream, I did also eat my veggies and Luna bars to keep a balance. I continued to run 4 times a week and felt great about that. I just really think I did okay.
Christmas eve was nice eating little things all day (my favorite thing to do). I was nervous about Christmas but my parents said if I can only just sit at the table then they understand, they just wanted me there. So I was so releaved. I had brussel sprouts (which I fell in love with), and I had to have my mom's famous jello salad that we have each year and I love the celery in it, and I even had some baked apples and yams.
When Travis got home we were hungry and sadly the only place open was Pizza Pipeline. I decided not to have pizza, I just couldn't do it last night and opted for some carrots with BBQ sauce and some chocolates. Alas, there are easy days and hard days.
Overall though? Pretty great.
