The 假日s are in full swing!
我们还没有感恩节，我已经吃了3份感恩节了。我对此并不生气。
Thanksgiving is my very favorite 假日. I absolutely love Christmas – but I love Thanksgiving even more because there isn’t any gifts or “stuff” to distract from the purpose of the 假日. And there is nothing I love more than cooking and eating good food with the people I love most.
But just as much as I love the 假日s, I hate all the 文章s and posts about “how to 保持健康 during the 假日s!” Like I haaatteeeee it.
Sorry to burst the bubble of no sugar pie and tofurky, but the 假日s weren’t meant to be 100% healthy.
The 假日s aren’t about saying no to dessert or controlling portions or working out to burn off such and such calories. And the 假日s aren’t about spending November to January doing 一切 possible to avoid some trivial weight gain.
The 假日s are about being with those you love, slowing down and enjoying the season, eating awesome food filled to the brim with love, and letting it just be that.
我们过多地关注了“unhealthiness” of 假日 food and weight gain—like how many healthier green bean casserole recipes and winter workout routines do you find on the internet? Really, if we begin to simply focus on taking care of ourselves, resting, loving on our friends and family, and serving others, then the food just becomes a way we celebrate and share this season with others instead of something we obsess over.
因为当你’重新照顾自己，享受与家人和朋友的时间，那么食物是’焦点。它没有’饱食暴食，内，因为“only once a year.”限制自己享受食物以及使自己生病而不能仅仅因为食物在本季节中的存在而分心。
食物将永远在那里。
Yes, eat some things 你不’t eat year round. But the important thing is to be intentional about what you’re eating – whether that’s pumpkin pie or steamed green beans, make a conscious choice to eat it. Eating mindlessly takes the enjoyment out of food and leads to self shaming and guilt. If you eat the pie, eat that pie. And if you eat the green beans, eat those green beans. Eat it with intention. The 假日s are 6 weeks, not six months. Eating homemade baked goods and some butter for a few weeks is not worth stressing over. 强调 will do more negative things for your health than a cookie.
仅仅因为它在桌子上并不意味着它必须进入您的嘴里。它’s not an all or nothing season. Choose the good stuff that is satisfying and pass on the stuff 你不’t care about – just because it’s there doesn’t mean you have to eat it because “it’s 一年只有一次。”
最重要的是，知道您可以吃这些食物中的任何一种 一年中的任何时候。 给自己完全权限。当我们划分食物时，就是我们倾向于陷入“我再也不会吃了”的陷阱，导致一盘又一盘地吃饱，然后您感到毛绒和毛茸茸的，现在您对自己感到生气和沮丧，而忘记了如何食物甚至尝到了。而且您告诉自己：“那根本不值得。”因为您不是在享受美食，而是在自动模式下’甚至没有意识到发生了什么事。听起来很引人注目，但通常如此。
你有吃饭的自由 任何东西 你要， 任何时间 you want. No food is forbidden and no food is good or 坏.
因此，请移动身体，因为它感觉很好。
吃那块（或两块）馅饼，因为你的妈妈是用爱做的。
吃那个地瓜砂锅，因为它’s so dang tasty.
在沙发上放松，因为休息和放松意味着恢复。
And enjoy every sweet second of this 假日 season.
AMEN to these sentiments. The 假日s should be fully enjoyed, and the focus should be on the company. It’当人们专注于食物（与“I can’一年中的其他时间都没有” mentality, as you brought up) that the 假日s end up being a time of stress, instead of a time of fun and being grateful. Wishing you a wonderful continued Thanksgiving 假日!
嗯是的我恨“clean eating” tips for the 假日s. I feel like it really cheapens the whole experience to put the focus on how you can stay the skinniest during the 假日s.
我尽我所能将精力主要集中在我周围的人上，而不仅仅是食物。我同意将我不做的事情传承下去’关心是避免那种过分充实的感觉的最好方法。我也喜欢保持活跃并四处走动，所以我不’最终导致昏迷-
Happy 假日s girl!
感谢罗宾（Robyn），一年一度的美好生活。
我希望我可以插入赞美手表情符号。严重的，谢谢！最近几个月，我一直专注于学习自己的身体和食物—向迷恋说再见。它’感受到自由真是太神奇了！我可以在需要时随意吃自己想要的东西，或者…。不。我喜欢它。我想认真地进入这个季节。如果我想要一块馅饼，那我应该拥有它！那不’不像我去年那样吃了三块馅饼，因为“bad”餐饮。主正在缓慢而甜蜜地给我这方面的自由。这是我向他求助的领域，我感谢他的温柔忠实。
YES YES YES! Happy Thanksgiving friend and know that I will be enjoying and stuffing myself silly with my family and 我可以not wait…XOXO
希望你的感恩节快乐！对你有很多爱-
Amen, 罗宾. I had the same thoughts in my post this morning too! Have a wonderful 假日 and eat lots of yummy things! o
关于此的一切，只是“是”。我喜欢您在这类事情上的做法。它使我感觉好多了，并且可以健康地提醒您吃自己喜欢的食物而不感到内。
是！！！我喜欢这个！！这是我的第一个感恩’我以这种思维方式进入–有点吓到我，但它使我不必再为它烦恼而乐在其中了！！！感谢您的所有帖子– so encouraging!
知道您是否在听这个季节的食物，相信自己的身体– it’不会对你不利。享受这个季节！ ox
I love 一切 about this post 罗宾 and could not agree more. “The 假日s are about being with those you love, slowing down and enjoying the season, eating awesome food filled to the brim with love, and letting it just be that” – yes, yes, yes!!
我们这里有美国朋友，星期六要去参加他们的友谊– super excited!
我喜欢这个！如此真实！！！您对健康，食物和健身的态度是如此不可思议。您提供了这么好的建议，我真的很喜欢阅读您的博客！感恩节快乐！
感谢您阅读安德里亚！祝您节日快乐-

‘The 假日s are about being with those you love, slowing down and enjoying the season, eating awesome food filled to the brim with love, and letting it just be that.’
是。只是。它’关于感谢神的许多祝福。它’不要将注意力集中在食物上，并感谢您提醒我要有心，感恩和没有压力。<3
我喜欢这个帖子！感恩节快乐罗宾！
莎拉，感恩节快乐！ --
AMEN to this post! 我可以’告诉你昨天吃我想吃的东西真是太神奇了&当我感到饱的时候停下来。这么多的自由&无压力！ -很高兴听到你的声音’重新享受感恩节大餐！！ o
啊哈，喜欢听！！！
节日快乐凯蒂-

这真令人耳目一新“holiday”发布..可能是我第一次 ’我看到有人真的在谈论方程式的两面。我们经常听到“eat it all and don’t be guilty!” but rarely hear, “you don’不必全部吃掉！吃您想吃的东西，剩下的就剩下！”我认为，记住这一点同样重要，即使不是更重要。任何人–无论您是否来自限制性背景–吃不好“everything” just because “its there,” and this will inevitably lessen the enjoyment. The food IS wonderful at 假日s, but it is not EVERYTHING. It is not the most important thing so we need to remember that even these meals…只是食物。谢谢！
完全同意！不论您的饮食历史如何（健康与否），没有人愿意吃，只是吃东西的方式’t leave you feeling good! happy 假日s 🙂
This is an amazing message. I was just replying to another post on another blog with the same. Just because the 假日s only come once a year, doesn’这并不意味着食物必须！我们可以随时随地享用这些食物，并提醒自己，我们可以将这些食物光彩夺目。
yes! hope you had a wonderful 假日 amber 🙂
阿们，西斯塔！
Seriously, you took the words right out of my mouth. Since when did 假日s = dieting? I love butter. And rolls. And cookies with ridiculous amounts of frosting on them. To me, it’只是健康生活方式的一部分。它让我快乐，而我不’不能100％地那样吃。放纵一点是一件奇妙的事情。
感谢您发表又一篇精彩的文章！
另一个神话般的帖子罗宾！我们日常生活中的大部分时间都围绕着对食物选择的思考（有时是困扰）。我们需要休息一下！吃饼干还是不要’不吃饼干。只需停止考虑该死的cookie并享受聚会。
我只是想让您知道，我在上周多次阅读了这篇文章。当我看到“Health”在药房等杂志时-我想到了这个道理。我吃妈妈的时候’很棒的饼干和奶油蛋糕-我想到了这个道理。当我没有’我要参加为期两周的间歇训练课-我想到了这个道理。谢谢你的光芒！
喜欢这个。我看到了最令人不安的instagram帖子导致感恩节–它是由一位具有成千上万追随者的女性，营养学家和健身特质所组成。它勾勒出她的轮廓“plan”感恩节这一天。这是她每小时的锻炼时间以及要吃什么的详细信息“stay healthy”。世界需要像您一样的更多观点！
