Any suggestions on dealing with gaining Holiday pounds?!
Question: Any suggestions on dealing with gaining Holiday pounds.?
I exercise regularly. Always have and usually have a good handle on my weight. But THIS year, I discovered Bon Appetite & every recipe is loaded with butter & cream & cheese and, well...my resistance is low...the results are SO delicious! And since I have more behind me than in front of me (thats YEARS, not BOOTY, btw) the soft stuff seems to appear more quickly now & go away more slowly.
I know, I should push away the plate & do a little more cardio, but these are not the happiest times & refuge in food (especially GOOD food) is very seductive.
So, what do YOU do to keep away/off the holiday pounds.?Health Question & Answer

I did the following for Halloween night when I had a big bowl of candy for trick-or-treaters. I cut up a bunch of celery and put the bowl near the candy. Each time I had an urge to eat candy, I would alternate with celery and candy. My ratio was about 3 pieces of celery to 1 piece of candy. I ended up eating maybe 3 pieces of candy as I was tired of chewing celery and my stomach was full.

Nikki, I have the same problem. Too many goodies & too much free time. And these things are not junk food - good ingredients, just so prolific.

Increase your workouts and increase your intake of fiber. Fiber is very filling and it has health benefits. Don't buy foods that are bad for you that you can't resist. If I don't have any rich, fatty foods around, then I won't desire them.Health Question & Answer
