Simple Strategies To Avoid Gaining Weight During The Holiday Eating Season

by Cindy Burgenstein

The holiday season is a time for shopping, gift giving and eating. Lots of eating. If you are on a diet, this can be the toughest time of year to stick to it. No matter how much willpower you have, you will always find yourself by a plate of tempting cookies or a Christmas cake.

This can be a tough time for those of us struggling with out weight. There are so many opportunities to gorge yourself with sweet sugary food, that it can be devastating to the best laid diet plans. Here I'll give you a couple of strategies to avoid the guilt that comes with overeating.

Willpower. This is where you avoid eating anything extra at all costs. You don't eat any cookies at work, and you only drink diet soda at the office Christmas party. The plus side is that you won't gain any weight during the holidays. The negative side is that you won't have much fun.

Another way to handle this is to prepare yourself before you encounter any temptation. Drink lots of water, snack on low calorie foods that fill you up. This requires looking at cookies and cakes as the enemy, which can be hard to do when your sweet ninety-seven year old neighbor brings over bowl of homemade cookies.

The most popular strategy is to just suspend all hope completely of not gaining any weight, and eat to your hearts content. That way you can fully enjoy yourself, and any holiday cheer you may find. The obvious downside to this is that sooner or later, you're going to have to pay the piper.

The best strategy could be a combination of these three. Allow yourself a couple of times this season to really let loose, but only if you promise to make up for it rather quickly. Eat seventeen cookies, but do an extra seventeen sit ups tomorrow morning. Whatever you do, there's always time to fix it later. Have fun.
