Holiday weight gain is back!

It's so easy to gain weight during the holidays, but what makes it so much easier is the acceptance you've already given to the possibility before it even happens. Most people expect to gain weight during the holiday season and this is the first trap. Everyone empathizes with everyone and there's a comfort in knowing that everyone is doing it. You don't feel so guilty. In order to see your body change in a positive way during the holiday season, stray away from the pack. Make a set of "Holiday Goals." Goals you put on yourself that keep you in line during the holiday season whether it be to lose 5 pounds before 2009 or not to put on a single ounce this season. Now that you've put some goals on yourself, you have a much better chance at not slipping down that slippery slope of "it's alright if I gain a FEW pounds this season." This never ends well. Before you know it, February will be here and so will those extra pounds.

More on this topic soon.
