The Horrible Holidays....

It is too bad that Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all come within 3 months of each other, and all at the coldest time of the year. It's no coincidence that people do gain the most weight over these 60 days (end of October to Jan 1).

But do not despair!

You can enjoy all that good food - just in small portions.

And if things do get out of hand (but this will only happen a little bit! Because you've been working on your willpower) and you step on a scale on Jan 2 and find you've gained 5 pounds...don't worry about it. You do not want this to happen, but if it happens, so what? You'll have 10 months to lose that 5 pounds,along with the rest of the weight you want to lose, and you'll have learned that you must not let things get out of hand, so you'll have more experience and knowledge about your eating habits for what not to do next year when October rolls around again.

And it might be time to get interested in winter sports - skiing...even sledding...or just indoor mall walking!
