Do You Gain Weight Over The Holidays?

Welcome back!

Now I don’t like to toot my own horn, however the fact of the matter is that I have lost some rather significant weight this year, and would hate to blow it by pigging out on holiday goodies. While I do engage in a fair bit of baking at home, it doesn’t cause me to over eat as my husband pretty much devours everything straight out of the oven (and he never gains a pound, of course). However, it never fails that I gain approximately five pounds every holiday season! Well this year it’s going to be different!

It will be hard not to fall into old habits as there will surely be an abundance of holiday goodies to try, delicious fattening food items to eat, and off course enough egg nog to ensure that everyone has a very nice time(my downfall). However with a little self restraint and a continued commitment to exercise, my “inevitable” holiday weight gain will be avoided.For those of you who are in the same boat as me, I recommend avoiding over eating by filling up on veggies (before enjoying some of the more calorie laden dishes on the table), staying away from alcohol and allowing yourself a small treat here and there in order to keep your sanity.
