Let’s keep perspective here folks. We just finished stuffing ourselves with a Thanksgiving feast and are going into the Christmas Season when there will be parties and food through the New Year.
Perspective here is that there will be 114 meals, using the typical 3 meals a day math, in that time period. If you have a snack between breakfast and lunch and one between lunch and dinner, which is not a bad idea, that would give you 76 snacks. Wouldn’t it be logical that if we make a majority of those meals and snacks healthy, the times that we are at parties or have a tray of cookies to choose from won’t be such a big deal. The fact of the matter is that this season is going to come EVERY YEAR! We need to be able to deal with it and not lose perspective.
Have a piece of fruit and a handful of nuts for a snack. Eat a salad for lunch when you know you are going to have a party to go to that evening. Go for a walk instead of watching TV.
38 days, 114 meals and 76 snacks. What are you going to choose?
Until next time…
