I have almost a panic attack when I think about christmas food.
So here are some ideas how to avoid eating as much as most people eat during christmas without looking sus.
Tiny portions are the key. You take spoon of this, teaspoon of this and somehow your plate looks so full of different dishes that people asume that you tried everything already cause they saw you taking food on your plate from time to time.
Make it messy. As you took some food on a plate, it already looks like you wanted to try everything. Make sure you mess it up a little so it looks like you ate some and left some because of feeling full.
When people watch you take a sip of water. Make sure christmas table contains not only soda and juices but also water. You can pour it in some fancy water jug and add lemon and tangerine slices to fit christmas aesthetics. Drinking a lot creates an illusion that you eat so much that you have to take a sip after every bite. It also can make you burp so it's another illusion that your stomach tells you that you had enough.
Visit the kitchen. Help to clean after every meal and make yourself a lot of tea. This creates a vision of you snacking and spending time in the kitchen. You can even get dirty some plates to show that you snack even more. This can help you with the excuses to don't eat a lot with other family members.
Help with cooking. You can have then a super-mom excuses which is "I ate so much of it while cooking I'm gonna puke if I eat this now" and of course the one who cooks doesn't taste while cooking, people who cook always call other family members to taste the food while they cook cause they feel the smell of the dishes all the time in kitchen so their taste is just not as good.
But try to eat some food, tiny portions, but eat, some of these dishes you'll taste only on christmas, you'll regret not trying them. Make a safe christmas routine.
Drink green or red tea to help with the digestion.
Stuff yourself with fruits and weggies so your body won't crave sweets.
Go on a long walks with family to burn calories that worry you.
Don't try to experiment with laxatives and other weightloss pills. You'll ruin progess you made before christmas. Just don't worry and try to stay the same weight but let yourself gain water weight cause you'll lose it two days after coming back on track.
Create a new year planner. You can buy one and prepare it for new year usage. If your family sucks you can probably make a whole meanspo part in new journal just from the comments you'll hear on christmas about you in general. Also it consumes time when you would probably snack.
long overdue for a scream in the woods
loosing weight is so hard when that same exact voice in your head that tells you youโre ugly and fat and disgusting says that itโs ok to have that piece of cake. and itโs ok to have another. and another. and another. and then afterwards, it blames it on you.
