Food and Excess

Coogybear

I know Christmas is a time for indulgence, but when do things tip into excess?

My son has had a problem with moderating food intake from day one, but Christmas is always such a difficult time.

I got up this morning to find half the turkey leftovers and trimming missing. Today he's on his third bowl of bread and soup.

Whilst homemade turkey soup is a healthly option and I'm glad my culinary efforts are appreciated, I remain worried about the quantity he consumes.

Does anyone else experience such difficulties?

Coogy.

  • I tend to comfort eat. Is that an issue with your son? It is an easy way to lift the mood temporarily, but can lead to long term problems. As the waistline goes up, the mood goes down. Xmas is such a dangerous time, when we are surrounded by sweets, chocolate, alcohol and all the things we regard as treats. It is so easy to indulge and so dificult to resist.
