When are you going to stop the Christmas eating?

Just some idle chat.

for the last week I have been eating whatever I want whenever I want. Unlimited pigs in blankets, chocolate, brandy cream spooned straight from the tub, slice upon a slice of Christmas cake. I finished the Baileys, or I’d be on that too.

I can’t remember when I last felt hungry.

Most of the year I’m pretty careful about what I eat. I’m in my early 50s and if I were to binge like this all the time I’d be absolutely fucking massive. As it is I’m generally a pretty healthy size 12. However at Christmas for a week or so I just eat whatever the hell I want, and generally loose the extra weight pretty easily... but right now I’m feeling slightly panicked sense of when will it stop?!

So how about you, are you pigging out too? When will you stop? Do you have a definite cut-off point?

When the food runs out/early January! Up until then I am pigging out and loving it! (Trainers and running gear ready for use in the NY!)

I’ve been sick with the flu over Christmas and completely lost my appetite. All the Xmas food I’ve been looking forward to has been wasted on me. I’m going to have another go at it in the new year, or whenever I feel better. I will not loose out on a weeks worth of bingeing. I suppose it’s a week or two. That’s what I’m giving myself before I have to return to normality.

I stopped on Boxing Day to be honest because I was getting a bit carried away😳 Now in my early 50s it takes so much effort to shift even a tiny amount of weight I decided it just wasn't worth it.

I have had my fair share of office chocolates in the lead up to Christmas and a blow out on Christmas day. Mince pies I had left are now frozen so I can't just scoff them at will and chocolates have been given to the kids and Dh.

I need to get to the point where I’ve indulged myself to the point I am starting to repulse myself 😂 I’m nowhere near this goal yet so it’s chocolate for breakfast for the foreseeable.
Im back at work tomorrow but I have a stash of crap there too. I just accept that this is what happens to me in December and I may as well enjoy it

January me is a capable confident person who always rolls their eyes and tidies up the mess December me made. I trust her.

Me too - feel like my liver creaks and I'm stiff with salt, but there are still bits of cheese, a few beers and a few boxes of frozen canapes left so will press on with the repulsing.

And I love the idea of trusting my January self, so will also trust her to arrive at just the right time. Which is not yet!
