Intuitive Eating: Being stress free around food at Christmastime

by Hattie Rees

Christmas can be a joyous season for many, but it can also be stressful when it comes to your relationship with food. Do you find yourself worrying about binge-eating or being around relatives who won’t stop talking about their latest diet and commenting on everyone’s weight? Or the feeling of knowing that by the end of Christmas the January guilt is going to set in? What if it didn’t have to be this way?

Intuitive Eating is a framework with ten principles, such as rejecting diet culture, learning to tune in with your hunger and fullness signals, and the importance of food satisfaction. It can be a useful tool in helping you to improve your relationship with food and feel confident within yourself. As an intuitive eater you can allow yourself to fully enjoy holiday periods such as Christmas without any stress when it comes to food.
