Before you throw your hands up in the air and say, “I can’t take it anymore. I’ll straighten up and eat right in January!” – Ho, Ho, Hold on there!
\nThink it through.<\/strong> 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 here follows …
\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>
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing,
