Full transparency- I still struggle with this sometimes.
For years I spent the holidays stressing over how many calories I was eating.
I avoided most foods, made my own weird healthy versions of dishes, and many years did not eat a single Christmas cookie😢
It took a lot of time, but I finally realized that being a little bit thinner didn’t make me any happier and I was missing out on so much.
The holidays are such a small time in our lives. I live by the 80/20 approach- 80% of the time I eat healthy food that makes me feel good, I exercise, I hit my daily water goal. 20% of the time I eat whatever I want, I may skip a workout or two, and I trade in my water for Prosecco 😅
This approach has made me so much happier and healthier.
You deserve to enjoy the holidays without guilt. Even if you don’t weigh what you want to weigh. Even if you’ve gained weight this season.
Follow along if you agree ❤️
