I Can ALways Tell When The Holidays Are Coming

It's hard to think about weight loss when you know you are going to be more tortured and tempted then normal..I get that, but the problem is that by sacrificing 2 whole months for a couple of holidays you are losing out on prime dieting time. Winter months are excellent for staying on a diet. People are home more, not so many BBQ's to navigate, clothes are more forgiving for size changes and you have the chance to make a grand unveiling once the weather warms up again! If you want to feel like a rock star, try showing up at the first family event in the spring in some cute little outfit after a winter of bulky sweaters and sweat pants have been hiding your transformation.

Yes, Thanksgiving is 15 days away and Christmas is a month after that, but what about the other 51 days or so between now and the New Year? Does it make sense to just give up and promise to get back at it Jan 2nd? I don't think so. It won't be any easier then. Weight loss is never easy, even with a wonderful product like Cambridge.

Is it possible to lose weight this time of year? Absolutely! Is it possible to gain 15 pounds this time of year? You know it! Given a choice, would you rather lose or gain weight over the next 2 months? You can gain another 5,10 or 15 pounds if you make that choice, or you could lose 40 or 50!

Don't fall in to that trap of thinking you are powerless over holiday eating or that your family would be disappointed if you didn't take part in the feeding frenzy. You have the right and the ability and the power to put your health and happiness first. The holidays will be here again next year, I promise!
