This is going to be an update and a ramble about how I’m feeling right now. If this isn’t something you’re interested in, then I’m sorry, this isn’t for you. Eventually I’ll be able to get back to posting regularly but right now I just can’t.
I’m exhausted.
Both physically from my job and mentally from what’s been going on in the world.
Most of the time when people think of eating disorders they think of restricting, not eating, or purging. But there are many other eating disorders out there that also include over eating.

Overeating is something that’s really been plaguing me recently.
It’s my latest addiction in a cycle of addictions of my life, and it’s causing a lot of problems. Besides the weight gain, I don’t like how I’m not in control of my own body and my own self. I’m at the mercy of the food I have in my house and that’s not a good thing.

But when food is such a pain for you, how do you prevent overeating during the holidays?

Not everyone has family or wants to spend time with that family during Christmas. I normally spend actual Christmas Eve and Day by myself and I absolutely love it!
More often than not Christmas doesn’t fall on a weekend. Before my current contract job, my supervisor had the week between Christmas and New Year’s blocked off, and this year Christmas falls on a Thursday/Friday so I have to work Thursday night and have off Friday.
I might go see my family that weekend, but I haven’t decided on that as of writing this post. If I do, I’m getting a hotel room.
