Eating Disorder Sufferers: Tips For Avoiding Holiday Freak Out
28 Dec
You made it through Christmas, now New Years Eve is right around the corner. Here’s some great tips I found from NEDA;1. Eat regularly
Avoid “preparing for the last supper.” Don’t skip meals and starve in attempt to make up for what you recently ate or are about to eat. Keep a regular and moderate pattern.
2. Worry more about the size of your heart than the size of your hips!
It is the holiday season, a great time to reflect, enjoy relationships with loved ones, and most importantly a time to feel gratitude for blessings received and a time to give back through loving service to others.
3. Discuss your anticipations of the holidays with your therapist, physician, dietitian, or other members of your treatment team.
They can help you predict, prepare for, and get through any uncomfortable family interactions without self destructive coping attempts.
4. Have a well thought out game plan before you go home or invite others into your home.
Know “where the exits are,” where your support persons are, and how you’ll know when it’s time to make a brief exit and get connected with needed support.
