Does Halloween start the downward slippery slide off of your health goals? It is easy to get derailed this time of year when so many holidays fall in succession. Every January, I see a spike in the number of clients trying to lose weight after a torrent of holiday parties and excess but it typically begins with Halloween. Here are 6 strategies that can help you keep on track.
What if you totally blow it and feel yourself sliding down that slope? Dust yourself off the next day; forgive yourself and get right back on track. It is common for folks to adopt the attitude “oh well, I have already screwed up my eating this year, I’ll start over in the New Year.” It is infinitely easier to keep weight off versus taking weight off. Those few pounds added during the holidays tend to stay there and then they get company during the next holiday season. So keep your slope sliding to your skiing vacation and keep on track with your health goals with small, easy steps in the right direction.
