Probably the time period from Haloween through New Year's is the fastest time perioed of the year. So many events..gaterings. From Halloween parties to Thanksgiving celebrations, office Christmas paarties, friends holiday parties, our own family gatherings and then New Years Eve festivities. All of these will be taking place in basically an 8 week period. There is no bigger challenge to your weight loss efforts than this time of year.
How do we approach this holiday season and not gain 10-15 pounds? First and foremost, try to keep alcohol as minimal as possible. Also, although gratiously accept thje gifts to you of brownies, cookies, holiday candies, etc., turn around and give these bac to someone who does not have a weight issue. Take these next several weeks to really work hard on your weight loss efforts to build in some "cushion" for those few pounds that may sneak on during the Thanksgiving thru New Years time period. Always try to pay attnetion to your hunger signals, and when ata large Thanksgiving or Christma feast, stop eating when you in fact feel "full". Take very small tastes of the very high-caloric foods as opposed to larger portions.
Linda has generated some holiday mealplans, so please check our websites and stop by the office.
It would be great to get to January 1, step on the scale and smile as opposed to saying "oh, no..New Years resolution time!"
