We are now speedily approaching Christmas and there is going to be a lot of pressure to eat and drink more than normal. If you have been trying to keep your weight down then this can be a real challenging time. A lot of people who have been watching their weight for months will end up putting on everything that they had lost over Christmas. It can be hard to manage you weight at this time of year but here are a few tips that will help you do it.
– You may be going to some parties over the season so you need to put some thought into what you are going to be eating and drinking. Some alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are just packed with empty calories. You need to watch out for the snacks too because these can be loaded with calories. No one is saying that you can’t enjoy the party but there is no need to go overboard.
– Don’t let your exercise regime fall away over the Christmas period because it could be the middle of next year before you can get back into it again. Keep exercising over the holidays and at least that way you will be burning calories and reinforcing your determination to keep the weight off.
– It is essential that you break the habit of treating yourself with food over Christmas. Eating so much that you end up feeling very bloated and even ill is not a good idea. You should think about heading out for a brisk walk instead as this will revitalise you and stop you eating.
– If you buy yourself a motivational weight loss book then this should keep you on track during this time.
– Don’t beat yourself up if you do eat too much. If you have eaten too much then start thinking of ways to undo the damage instead of just falling off the wagon completely.
