With the holidays right around the corner do you start to stress about planning the big dinners? How do you cope with that stress?
Holidays have always involved huge family gatherings and when we haven’t been able to get to family we cook for friends. My mother always made holidays stressful so I never enjoyed myself until the food was served. I do a lot of prep work the week of rather than the night before or day of. Now I enjoy the people, although I generally stress about how clean the house is the night before, haha. I clean & “delegate” to deal with my stress.

I personally do not plan the big family dinners so there is no stress when it comes to that. The stress I do have around the holidays is the feeling of giving in at times and overeating like I used to. I don’t deny myself foods but I need to always make sure that I keep my portions under control. Even as a vegetarian, things can get out of control if you let it. I want to make sure that I keep up with my exercise routine through the holidays. That is most important to me. And exercise is the perfect way to cope with any type of holiday stress!
