Preparing for the Holidays

Well we’ve made through the first big eating event of the holidays. Now let’s get prepared for Thanksgiving and the month of December celebrations.

Have you ever heard of the Boy Scout motto, “Be prepared!” Well take that same expression into weight loss this holiday season. The more prepared and organized you are in the next few months ahead, the better odds you will have at still losing your weight during this hectic time of year. Many problems occur because there are things we just don’t think of until the last minute. Now is the time to put these things into action!

You need to know three basic things: 1) Determine what your specific holiday challenges are. 2) Have an agenda going to get the seasonal things done early. 3) Have a positive attitude.  If you put these things into place early in the season you’ll have more time to focus and stay on track throughout the months ahead. For now really think about what these 3 things mean to you on a personal level. Later this week I’ll give you my input on them.
