Holiday Binge Plan

For family gatherings, and sticky situations!!! Stay safe and find a way to enjoy yourself!!!

• Keep talking during the mealtime, maybe not to the whole group because that could draw too much attention, maybe a favourite cousin or something

• Volunteer to babysit a younger relative, you’ll have your hands full and will have an excuse to eat less

• If you’re setting the table, leave some things in the kitchen!!! So you have an excuse to go back in during the meal and skip a few seconds or even minutes

• Let people know you’re vegan! Make up a whole sob-story about loving animals

• Ask a buddy to call you, so can leave the table and answer, say they’re from work or school!!!

• If you have control of the food, try to look for low calorie but good meals that are passable as “normal”

• If you’re musically talented, perform a number or two, while everyone’s eating, it burns calories while you’re at it lmao

• There’s always the option to pretend you have explosive diarrhea all of a sudden

• If you’re a girl and still have your period, say dysmenorrhea is making it super painful to ingest anything

• Say you had something you wanted to show everyone and leave the table to look for it (like a medal or an artwork or something new you bought like a gift)

• Pace yourself with everyone else. Take a while cutting your food, push it around the table, move your mouth like you’re chewing, pass around servings to other people

• Stay in contact with food, don’t look like you’re afraid of it or they’ll make you eat

Other tips:

DONT TALK ABOUT WEIGHT OR NUTRITION or don’t engage with that, it could possible go to your weight loss or even fat-shaming

DONT LOOK AT MIRRORS FOR TOO LONG don’t make it look like you care too much about how you look, you’re normal, remember?

DROP THE BODYCHECK HABITS: fingers around your wrists, arms, thighs, feeling your collarbones, your ribs or your hips, stop it!!! People will notice, trust me!!! They will!!!!

TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES, people begin to notice things less when they’re absorbed with themselves, so making conversations about THEM will help you!!!

DO NOT USE THE WASHROOM as your go-to hiding place!!! People might think you’re purging, even if you’re just going to be on your phone, they’ll suspect

DO NOT PURGE, not even on normal days tbh, but if this is a habit, do not do it with guests in the house!!! You don’t want any plumbing problems, or a stench, or even your breath and just anything suspicious

SMILE, smile, smile, smile, have a great time!!!

Not all gatherings are about food, once the eating’s over, loosen up and have fun with your family and friends, catch up with people and let yourself live!!!

Happy Holidays ~ ✨
