Worrying about whether you’re thin, slim, attractive, worthy enough to go to your Christmas social event?

What’s finally changed for me over the past few years is that I don’t worry about starving myself to feel good enough and ready to have a good time. I no longer let a social occasion pass by or fill me with dread because I haven’t had time to diet. I also won’t let more valuable minutes of my life be consumed with feeling like I’m failing because I’m not a certain size or shape.

The Christmas season is pitched as the most wonderful time of the year when everything and everyone is merry and nice. But is it really like this? Christmastime often brings with it a huge amount of expectation and pressure. For many, this picture-perfect ideal isn’t their reality, causing stress and pressure to mount. Can you avoid the common burnout this time of year throws so many people by having your own perfect festive time?
