An Idea to Help With These Next Two Weeks...

Everywhere you turn for the next several weeks there will be high-0caloric food and drink choices staring you in the face. You will have people all around you ingesting alcohol, cookies, chocolate and other food and drink choices that will derail your plans to lose weight.

Here is a suggestion: Take the time to sit down with a piece of paper and write out a list of those food and drink sources during this holiday time that will sabotage your efforts to lose weight. These items may include egg nog, Godiva chocolate, Cookies, etc. If you generate a list of 15 or 20 items, then strike out 50-75% of them and put them as "completely off limits". Allow small portions of the remainder. In this way, you will reduce the amount of calories you will take in but at the same time allow yourself some of the holiday food and drink sources that will allow you to not feel totally deprived.
