How to take control of your eating during the holiday season
Do you expect to gain weight during holiday time? We love to use the analogy here of the front seat of a car. If your brain is telling you that the holiday months are a time to indulge and you’ll start your “diet” in January, you’re not alone. We know what you’re thinking. There’s way too many holiday-themed temptations to bother with healthy eating habits, right? WRONG. That mentality puts you right in the passenger seat. You are letting the food/temptations drive the car, not YOU.
We love taking this healthy approach. Here’s how it works. Instead of always focusing on what to avoid (holiday cookies, caramel popcorn, etc), we encourage our clients to work in as many fruits and veggies as they can. This is crucial during holiday time when we often let our good intentions slip. But if you give yourself a goal of eating 6-7 servings of fruits and veggies a day, it ensures you are getting in great nutrients and crowding out unhealthier choices.
Ok this one is super cool. Instead of constantly telling yourself you’ll TRY to be good during the holiday season, actually picture yourself looking and feeling wonderful in January. Visualize how you want to feel coming out of the holiday season. Happy, confident, energized and ready to take on a new year? Or bloated, fatigued, and way behind the 8-ball. It’s up to you. You have way more control than you think (remember, drivers seat)!
