I couldn't agree more! Honestly, I don't even want to eat all the holiday crap that I know will be available. I know my body deserves better! My plan consists of thinking through what will be available that I actually want to put into my body and thinking through how I'll deal with the "is that all you're eating?!" comments. I also know myself well enough to know that if it's not something I want to eat a whole serving of, I absolutely cannot take a bite of it- I won't be able to stop!
Despite my better judgement, I am always tempted by baked goods when they are right in front of me. Sitting here right now, I have no interest, but when it's in front of me, all bets are off. To help myself, I think about it ahead of time, visualize cake sitting there, visualize walking away, feeling good about what I'm doing for my body. Sounds strange, but it helps!
Hope everyone has a fun holiday! There is so much more to enjoy on the 4th that is completely unrelated to food!
