A Christmas Message from Dr. Rita
This time of year is supposed to be joyous because it's when we celebrate our dear Savior's birth. However, stress from our overly crazy schedules can lead to stress-eating, guilt, shame, and remorse from overeating. In turn, those things distract us from God and can rob us of our Christmas joy.
That's why it's important to take time every day to pray, de-stress, and remember the reason for the Season.
During the upcoming month, find healthy ways to release the stress that might otherwise lead you to stress-eat, such as exercise and prayer, and try to simplify your gift-giving. Give gift cards or shop over the Internet! You DON'T have to give home-made food gifts (that take forever to prepare and clean up after) to be a good enough woman. You're good enough as you are, no matter what gifts you give.
In terms of how you eat, REMEMBER THE APPLE TEST! If you're not hungry
(if you wouldn't eat the apple) don't eat the pumpkin bread you just
received as a gift! Tell the gift-giver, "Thank you so much! It looks
wonderful! This is going to be my very next meal!" You don't have it
the minute you receive it. Wait until your body actually needs food.
May God bless you with peace, joy, and all the other fruits of the
Spirit during this Christmas season and always!
~Dr. Rita
