Thursday is Thanksgiving Day here in the states and approximately 30 days after that is Christmas which is shortly followed by New Years. And if you’re on a diet, it can be a REAL challenge staying on your diet during the holidays.
But DON’T despair! You won’t have to put your weight loss plan on hold until the holidays are over and you don’t need to pack on those excess pounds either. And to help you, I’m going to give you some simple holiday weight loss tips for surviving the holidays while on your diet.
Don’t Deprive Yourself
It can be devastating to deny yourself and hold back while everyone else is eating all of those delicious holiday foods around you. When you’re at a holiday party or get-together don’t deprive yourself – just eat in moderation. Before the party determine what you will allow yourself to eat. Give yourself guidelines to follow and stick with it. Rather than taking 2 of something take just 1. Choose between several options instead of eating 1 of each.
Remember and Follow the “Fist Rule”
Keep the fist rule in mind when eating any meal or snack. The fist rule says you should only eat a portion of food that is equal to the size of your fist.
This will help you avoid overeating or indulging in foods that will put you over the edge of your diet. Eating smaller portions ensures that you’ll be taking in fewer calories. Make sure that you don’t overeat by using only a small plate and don’t fill it completely.

“Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.” – Mark Twain.
On the surface this quote by Mark Twain doesn’t seem to have anything to do with losing abdominal fat and excess weight. But as you continue with your weight loss program, you might see the wisdom in it. Maintaining proper motivation to continue a weight loss program can be one of the biggest hurdles when trying to lose weight. There are, however, some tricks you can use to stay motivated.
The motivational trick that many people report working best for them is looking down at the scale and seeing actual progress. If you’re able to get off to a good start, losing that initial 5 pounds can become a HUGE motivator. Once you begin to see that your program to lose abdominal fat is working (and it’s actually possible for you to lose weight), you’ll be encouraged to stick with it, and you will continue to make progress.
Another way to stay motivated in losing weight is to keep a picture diary of your progress. Start on day one of your program with several pictures of yourself. Each week, take new pictures of yourself in the same poses. As you continue to shed excess body fat, it will be very apparent and this can be an extremely powerful motivating technique.
