It's OK to Over Eat

Happy TG, I hope you were able to gather with friends or family and share food. Sometimes we feel guilty for getting stuffed at holiday time. I had TG dinner twice, lunch with parents and dinner with in-laws. Shall we say, I overindulged?

Let me take a stab at describing the philosophy of a favorite professor, Dr. John Buckman. His belief was that it was OK to over eat at times. In fact, it was psychologically healthy.
“Eating forms the basis for all future human relationships. Mother feeds the infant in a very intimate and archetypal way. That need is satisfied and reinforces the bonds between people. Therefore, we should get together with friends on a regular basis and enjoy the closeness and satisfaction of food, even if to excess. Come together on holidays, birthdays, and reunions… once a month should be about right.“
