Stop Putting
On Weight During Holidays
|
Holidays are a time of excess and abundance and these aspects also relate
to food. Late December and early January are probably the most dangerous
periods of time for your body weight. This is when a lot of celebrating
takes place and there is food everywhere you turn your eyes. Fighting
temptation after temptation each day for a few good weeks can be a tiring
process, which materializes in two distinct stages.
The first stage, the most common one, is that of letting go. You stop
caring about extra weight and start enjoying the season. If there’s
food on the table you eat it, as there is no point in starving or feeling
miserable, especially during times of celebration. Of course, this approach
does offer a good short-term solution: you are happy and full at the
same time. On the other hand, though, there is that annoying “little”
detail of putting on weight. For each hour you spent celebrating and
eating without control you’ll probably have to work ten times more to
take that excess weight off. It is not a good deal and most of us are
well aware of that, but still we keep on doing it.
The second stage is different – you resist temptation, fight it, ignore
it, minimize it. You are successful in the end, and there is little
or no extra weight, but your spirit is almost broken, not because of
lack of self-esteem but because the fight depleted all your mental energy.
This situation is as bad as the one presented before, but there are
a few tricks that you can use to overcome both of the above-mentioned
obstacles.
Moderation should be the word of the season. Take part in every fun
activity, but do it wisely. Don’t let your stomach and your subconscious
mind work against you. It is time to take control over things and never
even think about over eating and then finding an excuse like “there
was nothing I could do”. Try to eat little portions several times a
day. If there is a big dinner enjoy it! But don’t transform this into
a habit of having five courses for dinner each day.
Try to find some time to do a little work out. Set your mind on working
out at least 15 minutes a day, no matter which day it is. When you do
begin your workouts session hide all the clocks and watches in the room
– you will probably go beyond the 15-minute limit. Excuses like “I’ll
start working out seriously after the New Year” can only lead to negative
results, as you are tricking yourself. Set a goal now and set it low.
If you want to do push ups, for example, start by doing 5 at a time
and then taking a break. After a while you will develop more stamina
and strength and five push ups should be easy to do. When this happens
raise the number – to seven maybe. Gradually increase the difficulty
of the exercise or the time spent doing it – this is the best way to
convince your body to adapt and burn more and more fat to replenish
the used energy.
The whole idea of a celebration is to be with the people you care about.
Food is an addition to the concept of holidays, so don’t let it grow
beyond its limits. Place more accent on socializing then on eating and
a natural state of well being will develop. If you use common sense
and the basic principles and ideas mentioned above you will spend some
wonderful holidays without working during the whole spring to take off
extra weight.
