i have a little bit different philosophy when it comes to weight loss and the holidays. I believe that if you live your life in a way that is healthy 95% of the time, it is okay to have a good time eating what you enjoy during holiday celebrations. A lot of diet and nutrition specialists will tell you to still govern yourself, and go in with a game plan. I on the other hand say this. Just enjoy it, be accountable, and know that come Monday, you will be back on the wagon. Does this mean go crazy? NO. Does this mean eat everything in site and then repent for it later...NO. This means, celebrate, enjoy, don't be a slave to the scale. You may gain a pound or two, but, it the big picture, that is not a big deal. You can loose those few pounds by the end of the following week doing what we know we should. I for one am DONE punishing myself for enjoying food. I don't eat like that but a few times a year, and darn it, I think we earn it every now and again.
If you are anything like me, you will be so sick of eating by the end of the weekend, you will be ready for some lean meat and green veggies!
So, now the challenge is to prepare yourself for the next round of holidays. BE 100% BETWEEN NOW AND THEN!!! YOU CAN DO IT. Do yourself a favor and follow whatever plan you are on 100% for the next four weeks so you don't have to end the holiday season 10 pounds up! I feel like if I can end this season 5 pounds down from where I was last week, I will call it a victory. If you are at your goal weight, make it a goal to end the season at that same weight. IT CAN BE DONE!
