I understand that this time of year can feel really stressful for some people - especially if you train regularly and care about your nutrition.
More social events, less routine, and constant noise around food can make it feel like you’re walking a fine line between “enjoying yourself” and “staying on track”.
The good news is: it doesn’t need to be this hard.
Your body doesn’t undo months of progress over a few festive meals. What actually causes stress and setbacks is the guilt, restriction, and pressure to compensate afterwards.
Staying grounded looks like eating regularly, prioritising protein, fuelling your training, and allowing yourself to enjoy food socially, without needing to explain or justify your choices to anyone.
Progress is built through consistency across the year, not through being perfect in December.
If this season feels challenging for you, you’re not failing - you’re human. And with the right support and perspective, it really can feel calmer and more manageable.
Save this for the busy holiday weeks, or send it to someone who needs a little reassurance right now 🤍
