Self-Discoveries

Experiment

I would like to share with you easy tips to celebrating the holidays from inside a food addict's world. Below is a list of ideas you can use immediately - read the full article in the Love Yourself - IT MATTERS! Blog.

You look great! You have been in charge of your eating and exercising all year and you love the way you feel.

Now, with your renewed confidence, you open your first holiday invitation for the season!

Are you ready? What is going through your mind….? Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the holidays without worries of losing control of your eating?

No worries; support is here for you!

You have a choice to take little steps to make sure you are in charge of your eating and life.

And as I like to tell my clients, you already have a Masters Degree in "Control."

Below are a few easy tips to help you feel confident, before heading to your holiday parties. Use any combination of the ideas to create a wonderful holiday season.

• Call the host a few days before the party to find out what they were serving.

• Plan what you will eat before going to the party.

• Put a 'good luck rock' in your pocket and touch it often to remind yourself that You are Special.

• Only, put food on your plate that you plan to eat.

• Do not go back for more food, under any circumstances.

• Pick two new people at the party you would like to get to know more about.
  Introduce yourself!

• Slip outside or into the bathroom whenever you feel overwhelmed.

• Use Imagery. To help calm any anxiety, picture a bright light protecting yourself.

• Seek out friends at the party and ask for support.

• After the party, tell a friend or leave a comment on the Love Yourself - IT MATTERS! Blog about the experience you had at the party. Let us know which behaviors worked successfully for you.

• Reward yourself by lightening a candle and listening to your favorite music before going to sleep.
