There are many reasons why the holidays can be such a difficult time for people struggling with eating concerns.

Eating disorders often involve developing habits around eating routines.

Eating in public can cause distress with fear judgement or feeling overwhelmed by the focus on food.

Instead of resorting to extreme measures after the holidays, it’s best to focus on sustainable, balanced eating and exercise habits.
