How Not to Hit the “Fk It” Button This Christmas

Christmas is two weeks away and the festive chaos is officially here — the food, the drinks, the parties, the dark mornings, and the fading motivation. If you’re someone still pushing toward performance or body composition goals, this time of year can feel like a minefield.In today’s episode, I’m sharing five powerful mindset shifts to help you avoid hitting the “f**k it button” this Christmas. We talk about: • Why the scales spike after Christmas (and why it’s NOT body fat) • How your reaction does more damage than the food itself • The power of going into social events with intent • Owning your choices instead of spiralling into guilt • Remembering that it’s just one meal, one day, one week — not your whole journeyIf you struggle with all-or-nothing thinking, holiday overeating, guilt, or feeling like you have to start again every January, this one’s for you.I also share a few real coaching examples, some festive rambling, and why intent is as important in life as it is on the rugby pitch.If anything in this episode resonates, reach out — I’m always here to help.Find me on Instagram at @laurapeerlesscoaching or email [email protected]
