So have you started into the pity pudding yet, the nuts, the cakes, the cookies, the martinis and more?? Time to get your head on straight and do a “yoooo hoooo” before you wake up with a big “booooo hoo”. You know me by now, all foods can fit. Oh ye Christmas does only come around for thee, oh once per year. You wouldn’t want to ruin all of your stealth eating efforts after the clock strikes 12 come New Year’s.
Just like you’re planning all aspects of your holiday fun, from outfits, to food, to gifts and more. Give yourself the best gift of all and do a bit of planning around your own personal noshing and exercising so the only thing you’ll be tipping on New Year’s is your waiter, not your scale.
Refresh yourself by doing a re-read of some of the segments of T & T’s Successful Loser Logic category from last December. Hey, when you do what successful losers do, you can only win, right??!!
There simply are some foods around this time of year I am truly going to enjoy. I love my Mom’s shortbread crescents. They melt in my mouth like butter… Maybe it’s because that’s what they’re made of!! Decide what’s part of your Christmas eating season and make plans to enjoy them. All foods fit, right? Let’s keep in mind a few hard and fast rules to help you toe the line to some degree. Here goes:
- DO plan to wear a smashing outfit to your party, with your waistband in tact.
- DON’T tell yourself you can’t eat your favourite foods, cause you’re just gonna give in and binge 2 times more.
- DO have a snack before you go to your party, to help curb your appetite.
- DON’T start drinking those bottomless glasses of wine, that seems like 1 that’s really 5.
- DO keep track of your bevy’s and plan to enjoy a few then graduate to mineral water with lime.
- DON’T try to make your hostess overjoyed by overdoing it. You’ll be paying in spades if you do.
- DO get a handle on the menu ahead of time so you can plan your indulgences according.
- DON’T skip, skip, skip your exercise cause that gald dang energy equation will bite you in your butt if you do.
- DO enjoy yourself and your family with the season, cause it only commeth once per year.
So before you get too knee deep in the Christmas fun, give yourself a loud Yoooo Hoooo cause you’ll be happy once you doooooooo!!
