10 Ways to Curb Your Holiday Eating

With the holidays quickly approaching, there is a sense of excitement wherever we go. Thanksgiving and Christmas change the normalcy in our lives as the kids are home on a school break, we’re spending time with family we don’t normally see, and we eat like Kings.

And even as a fitness expert, yes, I love to eat! Seriously, the spreads this time of year are amazing. I remember up until a few years ago how my holiday eating would go and it never ended in me feeling amazing afterward.

I would stack my plate during the meal with everything served on the table. I’d take care of my first plate and then go back and make a second plate of the foods I particularly liked and I would then be completely stuffed like the turkey I just ate.

Stay Out of Temporary: 5 Tips to Sustain A Healthy Body

The State of Temporary

It’s happened to every human on the planet, including myself. Here’s what normally happened to me. I would get on a fitness kick and it would be awesome for a little while, and then, something in my mind would change and I could no longer sustain the healthy habit I achieved. I would typically feel like I was falling behind at work and so I then replaced my fitness craze with longer work hours.

 

Of course, I would tell myself this was only “temporary” until I got caught up. After all, I reached my latest fitness goal. Not a time went by where this state of “temporary” didn’t turn into something more long-term.
