How to Stay on Your Healthy Weight Loss Program During the Holidays - By: Louis Jeffries

Committed to Lose Weight and Enjoying The Holidays.

You are committed to lose weight and it seems the hardest time to stick to your healthy weight loss program is during the holidays. Whether it is Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years or just one of the summer cook out holidays it is always hard. You can be successful, keep your goals while you socialize and have a good time. Follow these simple steps to do so.

Step 1. Remember Your Goals:

Be mindful of your commitment and motivation. Know that you are committed to eating healthy, exercising regularly and losing weight. Therefore your focus is still on your weight loss goals and you will not throw all of your hard work out of the window. Stay focused on your goals knowing that you can and will succeed.

Step 2. Be Prayerful:

When you are committed to a goal and you know you need divine intervention to stay on course the only action is to pray. Pray for strength to resist the temptation. Pray for the courage to say no thank you. Pray for wisdom in your choices. Pray that God gives you a gracious and respectful attitude while you are focused on your weight loss goals. Pray. Pray. Pray.

Step 3. Plan:

Once you remember and focus on your healthy weight loss program and then you pray that God gives you success; you must make a plan and follow it thru. In essence your plan will allow you to stay on track.

I. First eat light because you know you will be eating often. It is alright to taste a little of everything you like but just know you can only taste not over indulge.

II. Drink plenty of water. This helps you stay full and helps you not to eat too much.

III. Use the smallest plate available and add lots of fruit and vegetables on it first. Therefore when the plate is full it is with the healthy choices.

IV. Finally, drink plenty of water instead of soda or alcohol. Soda and alcohol are among the two biggest enemies of your healthy weight loss program.

Set 5. Stop:

Many time we will yield to temptation so when you feel yourself giving in just stop. Put it down. Walk away. You know why. Just Stop.

Finally.

Someone should be your accountability buddy and know that you are committed to your weight loss goals. Hopefully they are with you. Whether they are or not you must talk to them. Talk to them before, during and after the party or cookout. Call them if you have too. Ask to be encouraged if you need to. Be prepared to tell them how you did.

Be positive. Enjoy yourself. Your Healthy Weight Loss Program is not a ball and chain around your ankle or yoke around your neck. Your plan is a way to be healthy without sacrificing having a good time and enjoying friends and family. You can have a good time without over eating.

Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.
