Hey guys, welcome to my podcast. I hope you're well. Hope you're all doing amazing. I want to talk about

holiday season because it's literally just coming up to Christmas, just coming up to New Year's,

and I know there can be quite a lot of struggles and I put up a little question box in my

broadcast channel on my main Instagram and there was like I literally just said like what are

you struggling with or what do you struggle with and loads of people just wrote things in and

I literally thought I would just go one by one,

talk about some of the main things that came up, my opinion on it or my take on it,

and hopefully it can help because the holidays can be an amazing time but it can also be a struggle depending where you're at in yourself and I think that's like probably one of the first things to say is

that over your lifetime you're going to experience so many different holidays so don't get mad

if you have a few in a row that haven't gone completely amazing because if you're not in a great

place no wonder the holiday season isn't going to be the

most amazing time but it doesn't last like that because you're continually working on yourself

you're going to continually grow you're always going to be doing a little bit better one day one

point there will be a turning point and every year we'll just get better. I've been through

a load of you know Christmases where I haven't felt too great and probably my lowest one was

definitely when I had my eating disorder three years ago and it was literally like the Christmas from hell because I was just

struggling so much I'd binge eating bulimia like it was horrendous and it was so so hard and I just

want to share a few things I will start with eating stuff just because that's kind of what I've already like started going

into. But somebody said struggling to eat intuitively while still tracking. Now, I won't lie,

I think the obvious thing is within the sentence, you can't really eat intuitively while you're

tracking because if you're tracking, you're judging your hungerness, hungerness, that's not really

word, you're judging your eating depending on what you have actually eaten
