With all of the pies, turkeys, and endless mountains of food, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the large amounts of food. I eat alot during the holidays, and I do not think I am the only one. This post will show how I stay healthy during the holidays, and hopefully, these tricks will help you too :).
Know Your Boundaries:
No one can tell us what to eat so that is why we need to know our boundaries. Know how much how we can eat. Portion control will be our best friend. I know my boundaries which is that when I am full, I should stop eating :). Find your boundaries and everything will be all right.
Eat What You Want:
If you eat what you want, it makes it less tempting. When you do so, you eat the regular portion size. However, if you make yourself avoid the food you want, it makes it more tempting. So when you eat it, you eat it more of it because you want it more.
Try Not to Go Overboard on the Sweets:
Pumpkin Pie, rolls, chocolate pie, Christmas pudding, oh my! I do not know about you, but I have the worst sweet tooth ever. Try not to go overboard on the sweets because it will affect your sleeping, and rest is well needed during the holidays.
Get Rest:
From holiday shopping to cooking, our bodies cannot take it all. Get rest, and trust me, it will make the holidays all the more enjoyable. And yes, I do not recommend watching the fireplace all night on Christmas Eve :).
Try Not to Watch TV While You are Eating:
This makes you unaware of how much you are eating (I ate two slices of pie without knowing). If you are not watching TV while you are eating, you know how much you are eating. Thus, getting full earlier.
Relax:
It is the holiday, and it is ok to relax. You only get to do this once a year, so do not worry about it and do not feel guilty :).
So what do you think of these tips? How do you stay healthy during the holidays?
With Love,

P.S. We only part to meet again.
