Failure And Diet - How Not To Fail During The Holidays

Failure And Diet - How Not To Fail During The Holidays

With all the holidays coming, maybe we should look at Failure And Diet. It is so easy for us to fail at our weight loss efforts in these times. A lot of motivation and some good common sense are needed to make it during the holidays. 

Your failure and diet problems can be solved:

1. First of all have a look again at the eating out tips I gave you in a previous post.


2. It is also important not to have an "all or nothing" attitude on the special days. Try to eat moderately, but still eat a little of all the nice food on offer. On Thanksgiving and Christmas for instance, eat with the family, simply watch your portions and keep them moderate. If you try and stick to a strict diet on these days you will feel deprived and you will be more likely to binge afterwards.


3. Do not try and save up for these days. If you try to eat too little you will get hungry and that may be the start of yet another binge. Eat your normal allowance on the other days or save up only a little if you want to.


4. Try and work off some of the extra calories by being a little more active. Go for a walk if the weather permits and engage in some other activities that you enjoy. If you love dancing, well this is your opportunity to go crazy on the dance floor!


5. Drink enough water to help your body get rid of the toxins.


6. Go slow on the other drinks, remember, alcohol lowers your resistance and may cause you to eat too much.


7. Beware of the hidden calories in fruit juice and in other sweet drinks.


8. Even though sodas are not a good idea, rather drink a low cal soda drink than many of the other sugary options.


9. Above all, concentrate on enjoying the company and do not think about the eating too much. If you concentrate on the food all the time, you are also more likely to overeat.

So, during the holidays, with a little effort, you can still stay on track with your weight loss efforts and failure and diet does not have to be a problem.
