How to enjoy the holiday foods!

Let's all give thanks and enjoy our family this holiday season. Love, laugh, and be of good cheer. However, beware of the brownies and other sweeties that loom around your kitchen! With that in mind, here is your "I can make it through the Holidays without gaining weight" check list!

1. Prepare

Choose now what foods you will allow yourself to enjoy. Decide what they will be, when you will be allowed to enjoy them, and how much you will allow yourself. You will get the best results by choosing small amounts, infrequently. Caution! Don't enter the Holiday season defenseless!

2. Strategize

Memorize your holiday rules and pre-determine your strategy of attack to any opposition you might face. Don't forget that It's ok to say "no" when offered goodies from a well-meaning relative or friend! You can always accept it graciously, then give it away to those less fortunate.

3. Stick to it

Stick to your rules. And remember, it's better to stick to 95% of a game-plan, than to not have one at all.

4. Enjoy

There is no greater high than the one you receive from self-discipline. When you feel it, you will strive for that "high" all year long.

Lastly, whatever you do, DO NOT allow yourself to believe that little voice in your head that says, "I'll simply enjoy this food now and diet LATER." Unfortunately, it's not that easy. For when later comes, you will have more than just unwanted body fat. Amongst many other health issues that this may cause, you will have a sluggish digestive system, a sweet addiction to withdraw from, and worst of all, skin that has been stretched from excessive weight. Yuck! Don't listen to that naughty little voice!

A New Serries

A new series to my blog post............ Healthy living, learning about your body!

Lately, I have been obsessed with reading articles about healthy living. All of my articles come from popular magazines or online news. (Note: I am not subscribed to any particular magazines, but I catch my self reading magazines in the doctors office, gym, work or my sister home). I read the article and if I really think it's worth something I rip it out of the magazine. I am not sure if this is considered stealing but really how many times to do read an article twice?

So here is to the beginning of my new series, Learning about your Body, Healthy Living
Readers, I promise these post wont be long and boring. They will be useful to women living and worth your time.
