As a Christian, Easter is probably the most special holiday. I love that we all get to go to church and revel in the fact that God sent his son to die for our sins. He loves us so much!
With an eating disorder Easter becomes one of the days that I hate the most along with Christmas, Thanksgiving, and often the Fourth of July. Why do family gatherings have to center around food?! Family=trigger. Massive, multiple meals=trigger.
So here's how I expect today to go:
1) Have breakfast at home and watch my toddler get his first Easter basket
2) Go to church and feel revitalized
3) Drive for an hour and a half to my husband's parents house
4) Have massive meal number one which will probably consist of foods I don't like
5) Drive for an hour and a half home
6) Make a meal for my family (less massive and healthier because I am in charge of it)
7) Listen to my mom and my brother-in-law verbally jab at each other
8) Send everyone on their way and try to decompress
Here goes! At least I am working at home tomorrow and will have some peace and quiet!
