Holiday Eating Without Overeating
So how do naturally thin people, make it through the holidays without gaining gobs of weight or without massive overeating?
Try these tips.
•Give yourself permission to eat all these delicious goodies. It's sort of a basic fact of human nature - if we think we can't have something, we want it even more. If you have it when you are hungry, the excitement and energy around this food loses some of its appeal. You have to eat right? You mine as well eat all the foods you love during the holidays. I think it's a really wonderful thing that we live in a place where people have the talent and the skill to make beautiful and delicious foods for our enjoyment. What a gift. Even though today's popular diets tell us we need to cut out carbohydrates, white flower, sugar and pretty much everything else from our diet, I'm telling you-there are a lot of thin people eating holiday foods that contain all the "bad stuff."
•Eat mindfully. Stay in touch with how your body feels and how the food tastes as you eat it. Do you love the food you're eating or is the food just so-so? If it's so-so, throw it away and get something delicious. By staying mindful you will prevent massive holiday overeating; you'll know when you've had enough. The food will lose some of its taste and appeal. If you go too far beyond that point when it doesn't taste as good, you'll likely begin to feel like full and uncomfortable.
•Take some longs walk, or take up Yoga or Pilates. The holidays, although a joyous time of year, can be a stressful time. All the shopping, cooking, and decorating is a lot to do over a short span of time. If you are finding yourself stressed out, treat yourself to a long walk, or take up yoga or Pilates. Your body and mind are connected. If your mind is stressed, your body is also stressed. If your body is relaxed, so will your mind. Our bodies are meant to move. Walking, yoga and Pilates are some of the best exercises to reduce stress and lengthen the body. You'll be left walking taller and feeling beautiful.
•Be grateful-Gratitude is one of the most under used feeling that we are equipped with. We live in a magnificent and abundant world. We have numerous choices that we don't even think of. We have tons of food choices, gift choices and decoration choices. People invite you to celebrate with them, so make sure that you stay in a space of gratitude this holiday season. You are lucky, I am lucky, we are all lucky to have another season to spend celebrating. Be grateful for your body too. Your may wish to make small changes to your body, but be grateful that it breathes, your heart beats, your eyes blink and you don't have to think for one moment about keeping your body functioning properly. Take lots of time this season to celebrate what you have been given. You are lucky!
