I hear people lamenting the holidays because of the weight they will gain. When someone approaches the holiday like that, they proclaim a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Instead, we need to hear someone who inspires us and says, “I am going to be strong. I will drink a lot of water and eat a later breakfast to ensure I do not overindulge at the holiday feast. I am going to exercise before the holiday gathering.d I will make sure my dinner plate is ¼ protein, ¼ carbs, and ½ vegetables (Not the Casserole type!!). I will drink more water before dessert and enjoy the delicious treats in moderation. I will stick to veggies and lots of water during the pre-meal and post-meal grazing periods. Finally, I will avoid sitting on the couch as much as possible.”
This is a solid game plan. It allows you to enjoy the holiday and the great food associated with the holiday. It will enable you to focus on your long-term goals without sacrificing the spirit of the occasion. Without a solid game plan, you will lose sight of your goals and fall for the traps of the holiday.
