Since becoming a bit of a health-nut over the past few years I've begun to notice the disparity between my diet and that of most people I know. My wife and I eat a lot of produce, always a sizable amount of fruit at breakfast, and usually a good amount of vegetables throughout the day. We also limit refined sugar whenever we can, don't drink, and are pretty reasonable about our other choices. Where my friends and family seem to indulge in junk and processed foods a lot more than we do.
So the past few years this has created a bit of a nightmare over Christmas, when we're away from home and our own kitchen / grocery shopping for sometimes up to four days, being fed by other people. By the end of it, despite my best efforts, I usually end up feeling like garbage.
So my question here is.. what's your relationship with food over the holidays? Do you tend to indulge in whatever food is offered to you, or do you try to keep it reasonably healthy?
