Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

Avoid Holiday Weight Gain and Still Be Merry

Tis the season for overeating… are you ready to gain some weight?

Here we go, the holiday dinners, office parties and celebrations with family are coming!!

All that holiday cheer and good will piled high in the form of mashed potatoes, gingerbread cookies and your favorite sugary, fattening foods is about the get under way. But how do you avoid holiday weight gain.

 

How are you going to enjoy the holidays without losing your commitment to living a healthier life?

Oh you tell yourself….“Just one little bite,” you tell yourself, as you reach for another one of your favorite Christmas treats.

 

But you know… it never stops at just one.

Research shows the average person gains between seven and ten pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ouch… Before you know it, your pants feel a little tighter, your belly sits heavy and the “spirit” of the season settles in around your mid-line.

So you decide you’ll make some hard and strict New Year’s resolutions in a few weeks and lose the extra weight then, so no point holding yourself back now!

 

I say if you don’t change the way you think and act… you get the same results. *So don’t it!*

Don’t buy into a bunch of clichés about “everything in moderation” and letting yourself appreciate the “good things” and “live a little.”

You’ll live a lot more and a lot longer and a lot better if you put in some healthy lifestyle habits RIGHT NOW–before the holidays hit in full force!

 

There are so many better things than overeating and packing on extra weight over the holidays!

 

With some of the healthy recipes developed by my daughter Hunter at her Healthy Kitchen, some self-encouragement and support you can make this your healthiest and happiest holiday season ever!
