The holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Year’s is filled with gatherings of colleagues, friends and family. At this time of year, those gatherings typically also include traditional comfort foods and holiday beverages. Everyone has a different reaction to the abundance of food and parties, and for people who use food to satisfy emotional needs it can be a difficult time of year for self-regulation.
Even for those with a healthy relationship with food, the holidays are still a time of temptation. However, there are ways to reduce unhealthy eating habits without guilt and one of them is to understand how your attachment style affects your relationship with food.
