Approaching the holidays, we often start to create unrealistic expectations of how to avoid all the sweet treats, eat enough just to taste Christmas Dinner, or add exercise to erase everything we ate…..
What happened to enjoying traditional food with family and friends? These special moments create positive emotions and memories… and NOURISH our soul… an often forgotten component of a healthy relationship with food.
This holiday season, I challenge you to THRIVE, not DEPRIVE.
THRIVE by looking forward to the butter tarts Grandma makes once a year.
THRIVE by eating the turkey someone spent hours stuffing and roasting.
THRIVE by enjoying a cocktail perfectly crafted to taste like Christmas.
Weight loss should be at the BOTTOM of your priority list through the holidays. Instead, set yourself up to THRIVE and look forward to the dinners, treats, and family gatherings, stress-free and guilt-free. If weight loss is your goal, then it might surprise you how your new outlook on the holidays impacts the scale. There are 11.5 months left in the year for you to plan your nutrition and diet, save it for then 🙂
