freaking out about the holidays

wisgal77

This is probably the worst time to start something like this, but does anyone have any tips on how to get through the holidays without busting? I also have 2 birthdays in December (one being my own) and I don't want to undo the work I have done so far. Help!!:embarassed: :ohwell:

Moderation! If you don't let yourself have anything, you're setting yourself up for failure. Have 1/4 of a piece of cake that everyone else is having. Try a cookie.

It's okay to still enjoy the things you enjoyed before, just enjoy much less of it. :happy:

I know there isn't much time during the busy holiday season but try and get an extra work out or long brisk walk in a few more times a week. maybe do it just before the party, I know i don't feel like eating a lot after I exercise. But don't deprive your self of your favorite foods just be sure to eat them in smaller portions and then I avoid things that i can eat any other day like the mashed potatoes I save it for pie.

I am going to try really hard to eat everything in moderation. However if (ok, when) that fails I will just have to work out more to make up for it. I say that as I sit at work drinking a very yummy hot chocolate that I do NOT need and really don't have the calories for. I will be on that stupid elliptical all night tonight. Blah.
