During the holidays a huge focus for many is food. As someone who has struggled with their relationship with food for years, holidays weren’t the best for me. A lot of times when I wanted to eat healthy or different or announcing I choose to be vegetarian, I felt the judgement from my family. I never understand why it has to be looked at as something so weird, why can’t I choose to do good for my body. But as I’ve grow up and become more confident in myself and my relationship with food, holiday have become easier and I can truly enjoy myself. Most of the time I can just eat what is provided by my family but this past holiday I choose to step outside my comfort zone and bring a vegan dessert (everyone loved it and had no idea it was vegan). So to end this story I would stay I choose to eat whatever is provided like the typically holiday classics, besides meat options of course.
