8 Rules Of Christmas: Healthy Holiday Eating Tips

1. Forgive yourself in advance and give yourself permission to have a good time: Look, this stuff isn't poison!
2. It's just a couple of days: Okay, for some families, it may be a couple of weeks...twice...
3. Stay with your program: You will definitely minimize the effects of all the dinners, cookies, and snacks if you can still get in your walks, aerobics, weight training, or whatever else you have been doing.
4. Remain in touch with reality: You will hear people speak of "mindful eating".
5. Food is not love: Many people tend to equate food and eating with love.
6. If you are the cook: Choose healthy dishes prepared in a healthy manner.
7. Alcohol: If you enjoy wine, beer, egg nog like my Uncle Wilbur liked, or other drinks containing alcohol, just slow down and cut back.
8. Be happy to be where you are, doing what you are doing, with the people you love
