Coping with food during the holidays

Coping with food during the holidays

Overeating on all the good things is so common during the holidays. There is more stress, more alcohol, less rest and more overwhelm across the board! We tell ourselves "I won't do this again" or "Just one more bite" until we find ourselves going back on our word. This leaves us frustrated and feeling like a failure but there is so much more to it than that! On today's episode of Say Grace we are going to talk about how normal coping with food actually is (and how science backs that!) plus some life things that could exacerbate the struggle! At the end I am going to share some of my tips for ways to combat this and stop using food during stress! Weight Loss Challenge Waitlist:https://www.perfectfitnutrition.com/closed/
