Charlotte Roycroft-Davis offers four strategies for Easter: give yourself permission to enjoy treats without guilt, set gentle boundaries without justifying them, skip all-or-nothing thinking about single indulgences, and focus on people and memories instead of food.
When it's not forbidden, it stops shouting at you. Believe me, I know. This time of year, I see so many people in our private group asking, 'How will I get through Easter?' Here are 4 things that will really help. Number 1: give yourself permission to enjoy it. Enjoy chocolate, it's not the enemy. Number 2: set gentle boundaries. A simple 'I'm saving mine for later' is enough. You don't owe Anyone an explanation? And number 3, drop all the all-or-nothing thinking. One egg or roast won't undo your progress. It's what you do most of the time that counts. Number 4, shift your focus from food. Easter memories aren't made from what's on your plate, it's made from who's around you. I know you've got this, so have a lovely time.
