Good day friends, I have what I think is a rather strange question. We are only weeks away from Thanksgiving, the biggest food day of the year here in the U.S. I am already feeling the anxiety and food preoccupations. I love to cook and I love to feed others. My family will be hosting several friends for dinner. Here is the problem, how do I cook and prepare without ED screaming nonsense in my head??? I have not had company over since last Thanksgiving because cooking , while I love it tends to make me very anxious. I want to be "normal" this year and have a wonderful meal with my family and friends. How do the rest of you get through this or am I the only one who obessess two weeks in advance????

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Serve myself a little of each thing (meat, veg etc.)
Eat it and then say I'm not hungry since I spent 4 hours cooking the meal.
I'll probably get away with it because my grandma does it when we spend Christmas there. Last year she spent about 5 hours cooking and then when it came down to eating she really didn't want to. Couldn't stand the sight of what she'd made because she put so much effort into it.
Just try not to worry and try to eat something, even just a little. The more you worry about it, the worse it will be. *hugs to you* good luck for thanksgiving
