At Christmas there is often a lot of food on the table. You almost feel obliged to take something off the scale every time, but really:saying no is not a shame.
Fun
Food is often associated with conviviality and conviviality is the main ingredient of Christmas. Show your (in-law) family that you can also have a great time without eating.
Discipline
Does your family start to joke about it when you eat less than the rest? Try not to worry about it. There are plenty of people who are jealous of your discipline.
Servings
Watch the portions you take. For example, brag a little less if you know that even more courses will be served. Eat slowly and enjoy the taste.
Enjoy
You really don't have to refuse all snacks if you watch the line. Enjoyment is more important. You can schedule a balance day after Christmas.
Be persuasive
No is no. People want the company to eat with them. Be resolute:you don't have to, but it's fine with everyone else eating.
