Christmas...

[Fiction]

I don't even know :(

I'm a hell of a lot better than I have been, I don't feel like i'm at risk of relapsing at any moment either, i'm just terrified of Christmas.

At least at the rest of the year I can maintain my weight, rather than gain it. I maintain a weight of about 102lb. Now I know that's still pretty small, but it's better than I have been. I can cope at that weight. The thing is when I any higher, it triggers me, and I end up going much much lower than 102.

I'm terrified that i'm going to put on weight over Christmas, and even more terrified that it'll send me straight back into how I was.

I don't really know what i'm asking. Does anyone have any idea how I can control my eating a bit more over Christmas without it being dangerous? Or how I can stop myself getting badly triggered after Christmas?

I wish I knew. I've been trying to figure out the same things. All I can say, is try to make sure you don't change your eating habits too much over the holidays. Don't overindulge, but make sure you're nourished, and you should be able to maintain. Good luck, hun.

Thanks Amanda :) I guess that'll be the only way to do it really :/

I feel the same way, I'm really worried! but try not to let it ruin your holidays. Try increasing the amount of exercise you do so that you can cut yourself a little bit of slack. Your body actually cannot absorb carbs at all for up to an hour after physical exercise, so you could try going for a quick jog before your christmas meal so you can not worry about the amount of carbs in your meal :)

I hope you don't find it too tough! Good luck :)

well Christmas has always been the time of year i've never really watched my eating but when i think i'm getting out of control, like i'm eating too much even for christmas i find something else to do with my time hope i helped

It sounds stupid but i have been limiting what i eat over the last week, just so i feel okay about eating loads on christmas day.

I think what you need to see is that its okay to gain weight on that day, even if you go up to 103lbs it is okay, you are still beautiful at whatever weight <3

Could you not avoid the scales for a few weeks after? So you dont relapse

...sorry my suggestions suck, i guess christmas is one of those hard times in the year

Thanks all of you, and I hope you all have a good Christmas <3

And Fran your suggestions aren't stupid at all :P
