I just wanted to say...

I hope everyone on cc had a wonderful, stress-free Christmas. Weight losers, I hope you were able to feel free to indulge a little. Those of you with EDs, I hope you weren't too stressed about the holiday food and family dinners. And I hope Santa treated all of you well!

I ended up being able to reach 3000 calories because I overate so much. I didn't count at all all day, just tallied up at then end. During the day, I felt so free, I was't bound up in any strict pattern, I just ate what I want. And then we ate out at a Chinese Restuarant for dinner, I ate 3 and a half full plates of food, mostly being fried donuts, fried egg rolls, lo mein, vegegetable stir-fry, and TONS of fried rice. Then I had more fried donuts and white rice white sweet and sour sauce and some spring rolls, crab rangoon, and pretty much ANYTHING that was deep-fried. Then I went back and ate more XD!! Lolz, talk about carb attack. And then with my stomach hurting from eating too much, I still went back up for more dessert of ice cream and a few of these little cake things. I ate more than my entire family did, I mean my plates were stacked and piled with food, they were shocked how I literally ate like 3 times more than everyone else did. My grandma afterwards even whispered how she was proud of me :). And I felt NORMAL for godsakes. When I had waken up in the morning and saw the chocolate in my stocking and ate some mindlessly, I DIDN"T wonder how many calories it had. I just ate it. (And ate a LOT too!!) I really think I've overcome most of this ED thing mentally. I loved today, and I guess the holidays were perfect timimng for me this year ;P.

But yeah, what a wonderful Christmas. It was nice how I wasn't thinking about food at all all day, and I just ate what I wanted to,  when I wanted to, and had fun with my family. Too bad it;s only once per year XD!! (Just wait till New Years!!)

That's great! I'm proud of you too. Never let the ED hold you back from enjoying your holiday. But sometimes that's easier said than done, so if anyone else had a hard time, that's understandable. I let myself have a few treats, but that's it. Still recovering though. But I had a cookie for the first time in so long!
