Festive Goals

The festive season is not only bad for your diet, with temptations at every turn but can also be very stressful. Some people react to stress by eating comfort foods, a bad mistake, when what they should do is exercise.

Exercise is the number one way of relieving stress by boosting your endorphins (your feel good factor) and in addition increase your metabolism.

Start exercising now and you benefit from burning off the excess calories you are consuming as part of festive cheer. Many people wait until new year, but how many of last years resolutions did you keep. by the New Year you will be well into routine and start seeing the results as your diet gets back to normal, which will inspire you even more.

If you are going to a holiday function that you know is bound to be bountiful with temptations, make sure you eat before you go. You might want to load up on a huge salad with all your favourite add-ins and fat-free dressing before you step out the door. It is surprisingly easy to turn down holiday treats when you have no room to put them.

Don't bring fried and/or fattening treats if you are asked to bring food to a party. Carrot sticks and celery are boring- how about a platter of dried fruit artfully arranged into an eye-pleasing floral design? That way, no matter what everyone else brings, you will know that there will be a sweet, guiltless treat there for you to munch on. Don't starve yourself, treat yourself to some exotic healthy treats such as Star Fruit, Kumquats and of course mandarins to satisfy your cravings. There is no joy in deprivation and you might find that you are more likely to throw in the towel if you are constantly denying yourself.
