Don't Blame the Holidays

Did you know the average weight gain between Halloween and New Year’s Day is 10lbs?  Did you know commitment to exercise plummets during this same time-frame?  Does that sound familiar?  This is a recipe for disaster.
 
Here comes the “real talk” -- if you really think about it, it is only 3 days (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years). If you totally pigged out for these three days (and continued to exercise), it is very unlikely you’d see the needle go up on your scale. Right?!
 
And, here’s the kicker…. what you are consuming is readily available throughout the year.  The sugar cookies, pie, ham, turkey, cake, stuffing don’t come out of hiding just for the holiday season.  They are all readily available 365 days a year.  Right?  So why make a decision to overload in them now.  Why now?  Really, why now?  The honest answer is we are conditioned to do this, but it is not a requirement.  Don’t go into the holidays in a self-sabotaging mode.  Don’t!   Be mindful about what you put in your body and why.  Here are a few tips:
 
  • Set out to enjoy the holiDAY - 3 days. 
  • Amp up your exercise. 
  • Don’t go to a party on empty.  Eat healthy food BEFORE you go.
  • Repeat after me, “This is not a feeding frenzy.”
  • Chose to “stroll” [not roll] into the New Year feeling great.

Well, I blame holidays on my weight before. But then I realized, it was kind of unfair to blame something that has nothing to do with my situation. I gain weight because I lack discipline when it comes to eating food! We should always limit to ourselves during holiday season because we ate a lot and forgotten about our diet! Well, you should be dedicated on the things you want to happen too yourself if you really want to improve!
