\nHo, Ho – Hold on there!<\/strong> I know … it’s easy to throw your hands up in the air and say, “It’s okay. It’s the holidays. I’ll straighten up and eat right in January.”
\nBut will you get a handle on things come the New Year? And if you do, how much damage will you have suffered?
\nMake a conscious choice.<\/strong>
\nThink it through. How will the Scales of Injustice register post holiday? Up, down, sideways? Do you want to lose weight? Maintain? Is it okay to gain a pound or two? There’s no right or wrong answer. It’s your choice.
\nFace the food, head on.<\/strong>
\nWhether you are trying to lose weight, maintain or just stay healthy, to get you through this holiday season Our Lady wants you to keep her Top Ten Holiday Commandments in mind. 10 commandments printout.pdf<\/a><\/span> Sometimes a simple reminder is all you need.<\/p>\n

The Our Lady of Weight Loss Ten Holiday Commandments<\/strong>
\nThou shalt honor thy body and believe in thyself.<\/strong>
\nBe kind, loving and forgiving to yourself, first and foremost – always.
\nThou shalt never leave home hungry.<\/strong>
\nEat something before the party. A salad, some fruit, even an egg will do. And plenty of water and\/or seltzer.
\nThou shalt stay clear of the buffet table. <\/strong>
\nGet away from the food. Why torture yourself? Socialize – have a fun conversation!
\nThou shalt not deny thyself a treat or two now and then.<\/strong>
\nFill up your plate with Our Lady approved foods, and leave a little space for your favorite treat. Too much denial isn’t a good thing.
\nThou shalt recycle food gifts.<\/strong>
\nQuick, fast – before you change your mind. Give the candy, the cakes, the food away.
\nThou shalt keep thy hands busy<\/strong>.
\nTry knitting, crocheting, cutting & pasting, needlepoint, draw, write – anything to keep your hands busy. Give your creations as gifts!
\nThou shalt stay clear of sweat pants.<\/strong>
\nWear snug clothing. No room for expansion, no sweats please!
\nThou shalt walk – a lot!<\/strong>
\nAsk Santa for a pedometer for Christmas. And then use it!
\nThou shalt drink enough Holy Water to frighten Noah and map out all the restrooms in thy village.<\/strong>
\nDrink up – water that is.
\nThou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s plate.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Spread the holiday word … NOT the icing!
