Fall is the beginning season of weight gain with Thanksgiving just around the corner and Christmas shortly afterward.  No matter how hard you try, you will more than likely put on a few extra pounds by the time the festive season is over.  If you throw all caution to the wind and indulge yourself to your heart’s content, then don’t be surprised if the scales reflect what you’ve been up to after a few weeks!

Does that mean that you should be eating boring, low-calorie foods even during Christmas? Of course not!

Here are some ways to enjoy Christmas and still keep your weight in check:

1. Eat moderately and exercise self-control: Just because it is Christmas doesn’t mean that you should let yourself eat thoughtlessly! If you are going to a party with the idea of eating everything offered there, I suggest you stay at home instead!  Better choice, take control by making some wise choices with lower calorie foods first until you get your hungry cravings to taper down some. (If you’re hungry you don’t want to fill up on high calorie foods.) Then, if you must indulge, place very small portions of some favorite holiday foods on your plate.

Don’t convince yourself that you can lose all the extra weight quickly in January, because putting on weight is a lot easier than losing it! So it makes sense to exercise a bit of self-control when you hit a Christmas party.  Remember, choose foods which you like the most and avoid everything else! The chance of weight gain is still there, but your body weight would still be under control!

2. Enjoy what you eat: A lot of us end up overeating more to derive comfort from foods rather than out of hunger! This problem won’t occur if you enjoy each and every bite you have! If you enjoy your meals, you will feel satisfied very quickly! Also, make it a point to be happy after you have finished your meal, as depression usually triggers hunger pangs. If you really want to have a taste of all the courses, you can have small portions of each course!

3. Exercise hard: Just because it is Christmas doesn’t mean that you should sit back and relax on your couch the entire day. Working out a bit daily will surely not ruin your Christmas joys; if anything, those workouts would help you stay fit.

Exercising doesn’t have to mean hitting the gym everyday like mad; in fact, even a simple walk would do a lot good for your body. Remember that exercising will not only keep you fit and healthy, but also burn those extra calories that you would consume during the holiday season!
