Party Tips for Christmas Eve
Thursday, December 24, 2009 22:38No Comments
Even Christmas Eve requires polite party tips if you don't want to overindulge yet still enjoy some goodies:
- Set up choices and options rather than strict rules for yourself. If you have three events do you need to overindulge at all three? Remember there are seven days in a week. You still have four other days you can eat well.
- Have positive “declining responses” ready when people push food on you, but keep your answer firm. Keep a glass in your hand that looks like alcohol and a plate with some veggies on it so people don’t keep pushing.
- Determine your motivators and reflect on them often.
- Know your weakness and go to events with a real plan in mind.
- Set realistic goals for the holidays. Maintenance is always a good goal in December.
- Do not go to events when you are hungry. "Bank” calories rather than starve yourself!
