Eating over Christmas and New Year’s Resolutions to diet are in the past
If you had asked me when I was active in addiction what the meaning of Christmas was, I would have told you, the substantial amount of food available, the getting dressed up, the drinking and partying in the pubs and the nightclubs and receiving lots and lots and lots of gifts.
Eating at Christmas time was always different from the rest of the year. For most of the year I would be secretly eating but for that short week in December, I had free reign. It was that one time when everyone seemed to want to eat the way I did every single day. It was acceptable to eat chocolate for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and beyond.
