Mom Talk

 There is food everywhere over the holidays. Everywhere I turn there’s cookies, candy, popcorn. . .and the list goes on! I fight the urge to eat as best I can but sometimes, the draw is just too much and I catch myself indulging. I have gained a bit of weight over the last few months and I really just want to hold steady through the holidays. My strategy? Take it one day (or one meal or one snack) at a time. I usually do pretty good at breakfast and lunch, but mid afternoon, my need for carbs takes over. To combat it, I try just having a tiny portion of whatever it is that’s tempting me at the moment. I’ll let you know if my strategy is successful when my diet starts in January!
