The winter holidays mean family, friends, and sometimes unnecessary weight gain. With a little eggnog there and a missed workout here, beloved winter holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas can wreak havoc on your diet and weight loss plan.
Be Prepared to Stay on Your Diet over the Holidays
Delicious delicacies like iced sugar cookies and zesty cheese logs are lurking around every corner waiting to sabotage your diet and ruin your hard earned weight loss. Be prepared to combat these diet saboteurs.
I'm tempted to go off track — just throw up my hands thinking the damage is done. This particularly happens during the holidays: if I pig out at one meal, why not just overeat at the next meal too? Or, after skipping workouts on vacation, it's difficult to motivate myself again.
But remember: just because you give in to temptation once doesn't mean you should give up entirely. In fact, it's even more reason to reset your healthy goals. If you end up eating a Snickers bar for breakfast in a weak moment, don't beat yourself up over it. Just make your next choice a healthy one and go from there. How do you deal with weak moments?
