Is it possible to eat healthily during the holiday season?

¿Se puede comer saludable en estas fechas decembrinas?, la verdad he estado haciendo el intento, no es fácil, ver tantas cosas tan provocativas, deseando comerlas, degustarlas, sin pensar en el daño que te pueda causar.

El 24 como todos los años, hacemos nuestra cena navideña, con familiares y amigos, compartimos, reímos, comemos y bebemos, sin embargo, este año, para mí fue diferente, ya que tuve que controlarme, evitando comer grasas, dulces y el alcohol, aunque yo no bebo, mi mamá preparo un rico ponche crema, el cual como bien saben, este contiene alcohol, y a mí me encanta, no saben lo difícil que fue verlo, tenerlo y no poder beberlo.

Sin mencionar la torta de chocolate, toda empalagosa, dulce, deliciosa, como a mí me gusta, tenerla allí y no poder saborearla, fue una tortura.😌

Pero ni modo, es lo que me toco, tener que controlarme las ganas de comer de todo, y el pensar que no debo abusar, solo ver y no tocar, o medio probar un poco, sin exagerar, es algo que este año he tenido que aprender hacer, controlarme, y decir no puedo comerlo, porque me inflama, y me puede hacer daño.

Sin duda este año, ha sido de muchos cambios, con esta dieta estricta, con mis ejercicios, dejando el pasado atrás, viejas amistades, enfrentando mi nueva realidad, pensando que a la final, debo pensar en mí, en mi bienestar tanto físico como mental, todo es un proceso, todo lleva tiempo.

Lo único que nos mantiene de pie es la fe, la esperanza de que vendrán tiempos mejores, aunque tarde, todo llegara en su momento.

Así que, espero en un futuro, cuando vuelva a leer estas líneas, piense que valió la pena la espera, que volveré a comer con gusto, que cumplí mi mayor anhelo, dando gracias siempre por todo. 🙏

ENGLISH VERSION

Is it possible to eat healthily during the holiday season? To be honest, I've been trying, but it's not easy when you see so many tempting things and want to eat and taste them without thinking about the damage they can cause.

On the 24th, like every year, we have our Christmas dinner with family and friends. We share, laugh, eat, and drink. However, this year was different for me because I had to control myself and avoid eating fats, sweets, and alcohol. Although I don't drink, my mom made a delicious cream punch, which, as you know, contains alcohol, and I love it. You don't know how hard it was to see it, have it, and not be able to drink it.

Not to mention the chocolate cake, all cloying, sweet, delicious, just the way I like it. Having it there and not being able to taste it was torture.😌

But that's just the way it is, I have to control my urge to eat everything and remember that I shouldn't overindulge. Just looking and not touching, or trying a little bit without overdoing it, is something I've had to learn to do this year: control myself and say I can't eat it because it makes me bloated and can hurt me.

Without a doubt, this year has been one of many changes, with this strict diet, with my exercises, leaving the past behind, old friendships, facing my new reality, thinking that in the end, I have to think about myself, about my physical and mental well-being. Everything is a process, everything takes time.

The only thing that keeps us going is faith, the hope that better times will come, even if it takes a while, everything will come in its own time.

So, I hope that in the future, when I read these lines again, I will think that it was worth the wait, that I will enjoy eating again, that I fulfilled my greatest desire, always giving thanks for everything. 🙏
