First, keep in mind that the holidays are the season of plenty, and there will be plenty of food around. That said, keep in mind that you don't have to eat it all in one day. Tomorrow there will be another opportunity to sample goodies.
Here are the Big Three Mistakes you should avoid making:
#1 Emotional eating.
"Tis the season to be joyful, but we all know happiness is not the only feeling around at Christmas. Loneliness, sadness, tension, boredom...hey, you will probably experience these are more. Before you dive into a bowl of mixed nuts, try connecting with a friend, or taking a walk. Experience feelings - don't eat them.
#2 Getting nostalgic about favorite foods.
Cheese balls and pepperoni dip might have been your all time favorites as a teenager - but guess what? You're 50 years old now. Our responsibilities change in life. Sometimes it is time to move on, and say good-bye to habits that no longer serve us.
#3 Succumbing to peer pressure. Everyone else is eating deep fried chicken wings - why not you? Well, because you're not everyone else. And if you care about your health, then you may find yourself at the leader of the pack - the healthy pack. What a great way to start the New Year!
