Don’t feel guilty about eating your favorite foods during the holiday season. Sure, you can go with a skinny version of your favorite dish. But why not maintain your weight or stay on track with a holiday eating plan?
When people deny themselves the foods they truly love, it never ends well. In fact, it often leads to a cycle of feeling deprived, overeating those restricted foods, and then feeling shame. Rinse and repeat.
So instead, prioritize your favorites. Decide what you really love, enjoy those holiday foods without guilt, and move on. And if you overeat, simply go back to your usual habits at the next meal or snack and don’t pass judgement on yourself.
Another way to feel in control while savoring holiday foods: balance out the rich foods with the healthy items you already love. A lot of people appreciate a lighter dish, like a crisp green salad, a veggie tray for munching before the meal, or a pan of roasted broccoli.
