You got a big point there about complimenting women on weight. I got a lot of compliments when I was thin, and sometimes I wanted to scream, "I'm 50 pounds underweight, you MORON!" Of course, most of me said things more like, "Oh, so I look great, guess I better make sure not to gain another ounce..."
For me, the holidays are a season to STOP eating, more than overeat. I'm thinking I may have to 'get sick' on Christmas, so that I can avoid my family. Especially if there's food involved, which there will be. If we're at my mother's, it's OK, but anywhere else I know that I won't eat, and I also know that certain members of my family will make a huge deal about it, and then I won't be ABLE to eat. My N was going over strategies with me today in our session, and the only thing I could come up with is that, if it's not at my mother's, I will call in the morning and tell everyone I have such severe diarrhea that I can't come. (Anything less I'd get the 'come anyway.' At least diarrhea means that I couldn't be in the car long enough to get anywhere...)
Grrr. I've got wicked insomnia right now, and not thinking all that clearly. It's now five hours past my bed time, and I can feel my eyes spinning around in my head...
