As you are enjoying the company of your friends, family and loved ones, give special thanks, if you have relatively good health, for the fact that you are there in a pretty good state to enjoy your family time. In my internal medicine practice, I see many cases of people who have the sudden onset of signficant medcial problems that have a good chance of shortening that unfortunate person's lifespan. There will be less Christmas dinners for that person to enjoy their families. It is sad.
What shortens a person's lifespan? Heart disease, diabetes, cancers.
What contributes to the development of heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer? Obesity
Losing the weight is certainly going to help you aesthetically, but for living life to the fullest and being there to see you children and grandchildren grow and florish, there is no better thing you can do for yourself. Life often is a series of choices. Choosing to be there with your loved ones over impersonal high-caloric food sources or alcohol is, in my opinion, a better choice.
