What to Do

A No Excuses November mentality helps keep you on track. A holiday party is a special celebration, where you might add extra alcohol, delicious appetizers and a beautiful meal or dessert to the otherwise ordinary day. If planned for and looked forward to, this is great. Enjoy. If it is another decadent meal in a long string of indulgence, it is less celebratory and increases the risk of weight gain.

So instead of this: Celebrate à Celebrate à Celebrate à Celebrate = holiday weight gain.

Do this: Choose wisely à Choose wisely à Celebrate à Choose wisely = NO holiday weight gain.

From lots and lots of experience with myself and clients, it’s best if a planned indulgent event is buffered by planned healthful choices. No need to keep eating the sweets. Eat it once, enjoy it and then get back to your normal healthy ways quickly and efficiently (it works!)
