Holiday Parties Without Packing On the Pounds!

Ok, so I know it has been forever since I posted..... SORRY! I have been super busy the second half of 2010. I was recovering from a knee injury, busy at work and church, my dad was even in the hospital for a bit. Anyway, I am back at it and will try to do better! :)

Here are my top 3 tips for surviving holiday parties:

  • Do not graze! All those bite-sized foods add up quick in calories. Instead of grazing, use a plate so you can visually know just how much you are eating.

  • Drink plenty of water! Before you go to a party, make sure to drink a large glass of water. Continue to drink water throughout the party. This will make you feel fuller and you will end up eating less.

  • Wear fitting clothes! If you are wearing clothes that fit just right and do not expand, you will eat less while you are wearing them.
