Avoid Pitfalls with a Holiday Diet
Stand on Firm Ground
Dieting with a
personalized weight loss plan
is hard enough throughout most of year when not faced with multiple
parties, multiple dinners and multiple bowls of goodies. So how is it humanly
possible to start a holiday diet and maintain
healthy dieting over the most difficult time of year?
Holiday dieting does not have to be a
horrific experience. With a realistic goal, dedication and an accountability
partner, weight loss and the holidays doesn’t have to be an oxymoron.
First off, set a realistic goal. At the end of November set a goal with the weight you’d like to maintain or reach by January first. Don’t set an outlandish
goal, but one that’s realistic and reachable –something like losing 1 pound a week for
those who are really dedicated.
Secondly, write down that goal and post that it in places that you frequent. For
example, stick it in your bedroom and on the bathroom mirror
to remind you what you're trying to reach every morning and night. Then each day
stay true to that goal.
Thirdly, find a diet accountability partner. This person can be a friend, a
partner, your mother or father –someone who you can call or talk to who can
support you in your holiday dieting adventures. Often people don’t realize how
helpful accountability is until they’re asked point blank: how did you do on
your diet today?
By setting a realistic goal, sticking to it and getting
weight loss support you'll have an
edge on other holiday dieters. Just think, by the time New
Years rolls around, you’ll already have started your diet and partly achieved your
resolution!
