I want to talk about the holidays today, holidays and food specifically, because it is a triggering as fuck time.

Let's just all hold hands and call a spade a spade.

It is a very tricky time for anyone who has ever had any food issues, which is essentially any female with a pulse, right?

Sad, sad, but true fact.

Okay.

And if this doesn't apply to you, I am so fucking happy for you and turn this off and go do something fun.

But if you have ever dealt with

a food thing or you feel a little nervous about the holidays, then this is for you. I just want to

talk about why I think it's so stressful, my personal experience, and then some things that

have helped me to feel better because it's my favorite time

of year. It is literally my favorite time of year. And for many years, I found it to be an incredibly

stressful time because I was trying to enjoy myself. But then I was just thinking about food and I was

stressed out and I was sad and I felt, I feel like my neuroses ruined some special memories

and sometimes when I just wish I had just shut the fuck up and had fun and I'm not saying that

to be mean to myself. I'm just like sometimes I mean most of the time I just wish my brain my

overactive brain would shut up. So let's talk about it. Why is it so triggering on the holidays?

Okay, for a couple of reasons. First of all, there's just food everywhere. For the next two months,

basically November through December, there's just food everywhere. There's treats in the office.

It's Thanksgiving. Your grandma came over with cookies. Your neighbor brought you

chocolates. You're going to a work happy hour. You're going to a Christmas party. You know,

there's just actually food everywhere you look in a way that is like inescapable, which is fun,

but it also can really, really trigger you, whatever, whatever.
