disordered eating & the holidays
If you struggle with disordered eating, the holidays can be tricky. Food is often a central part of holiday gatherings, and the expectations associated with holiday meals can often cause an uptick in feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and loneliness.
Holiday dread?
Holiday dread? Holidays have a lot of inherent pressure built in. There’s build up to a particular moment or day, not to mention all the memories associated with holidays, often both joyful and painful. The emphasis on gratitude during the holiday season can also be difficult for many when they’re grieving the loss of a loved one or experiencing current pain in their life.
