Diary entry: 26th December

Well, like 90% of the rest of the population, I ate and drank too much yesterday. Unfortunately, unlike 90% of the population, I am not allowed to go on a diet. I really made a superhuman effort yesterday but I must not let myself cut back today although it’s tempting. I’m not used to such rich food – can’t believe I’ll ever be hungry again. I felt like a goose trying to eat my toast this morning.

I don’t know how to put up with this when I am so fragile both physically and emotionally. I cannot be responsible for everything. I must be allowed to let go without having to suffer the consequences.

And I don’t like mince pies or Christmas pudding – trivia I know, but important trivia.
