So many of us get anxious around holiday foods. The candy and sweets are enough to send anyone into panic, especially when we think it's going to mess with our diets and goals. Even more so if we don't trust ourselves around the food.
If it's a food we feel we only get around this time of year, we tend to overeat, feel sick and then doubt our willpower and feel we let ourselves down. Many of us will still try to restrict but justify and allow ourselves to have a few pieces of candy, or just a few bites of that Thanksgiving or Christmas pie, because it is the holidays, but are then filled with shame, regret and guilt afterwards.
After feeling we messed up, we then feel we have to punish ourselves by
depriving further to make up for it.
I used to do the same exact thing. It is no way to live. It's miserable and I want you to enjoy every bite of what you desire everyday of the year, but especially the holidays when most people are so hard on themselves.
Using these declarations, you will be able to connect to empowering beliefs around candy and holiday sweets.
You deserve to enjoy every satisfying bite of holiday food.
