Picture this: the holiday table is overflowing with food. You’ve eaten enough to feel satisfied, but now come the food pushers:
“Oh, you’re not having seconds? Don’t you like it?”
“It’s the holidays—live a little!”
“Have another piece. I made this just for you!”
Sound familiar? Before you know it, you’re eating another piece of pie—not because you wanted it, but because it felt easier to say yes.
And later, you’re left feeling stuffed, frustrated, and thinking, *I’ll just start over in January.*
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
As a physician, you already face enough challenges during the holidays. Feeling out of control with your eating shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why I created my four-part podcast series, the Holiday Survival Guide, to help you confidently navigate this season without guilt.
In Episode 306—Part 2 of the series—you’ll discover:
– Why food pushers aren’t really about food—and how to respond compassionately.
– Simple scripts for saying no with kindness (yes, even to Aunt Susan and her stuffing).
– How to stay empowered whether you choose to indulge or pass.
