Merry Christmas from Jarrell Weight Management Specialists!

12/20/2025

Not every tradition deserves a place at your table. The holidays are full of choices disguised as obligations. But here's the truth: you get to decide which traditions serve you and which ones don't.

Fruit basket or fudge? Cookie exchange or game night? Gift certificates or candy? Decorating gingerbread houses or decorating cookies to eat? Hot chocolate with marshmallows or holiday spice tea? None of these choices are "right" or "wrong"—but some will move you closer to your goals, and some will move you further away.

Choose your traditions carefully. Keep the ones that bring joy without sabotaging your progress. Let go of the ones that don't serve you anymore. You, stronger. Even during the holidays.

What's one tradition you're rethinking this year?

Lauren read The Diet Trap Solution and didn't just read it - she applied it. She identified her food pusher triggers, wrote out the sabotaging thoughts, and created specific strategies to handle each scenario.
This handwritten chart represents something powerful: sustainable weight loss isn't just about what you eat. It's about addressing the behavioral and social components that make healthy choices so difficult.
Lauren recognized her triggers - friends guilting her, the "just one won't hurt" mentality, weekend justifications, and comparing herself to others. Then she created personalized solutions that work for HER life and HER relationships.
This is the work that separates temporary weight loss from lasting change. Lauren isn't just following a meal plan - she's building the mental tools to navigate every social situation for the rest of her life.
Nutrition and medication matter, but so does this - the behavioral work that makes everything else sustainable.
Incredible work, Lauren.

"Just one bite won't hurt!" "Come on, you've been so good!" "It's the weekend, live a little!"
Sound familiar? Food pushers are everywhere - and they're not always trying to sabotage you on purpose.
A food pusher is someone who pressures you to eat more or consume unhealthy foods, even after you've declined. Sometimes it's guilt. Sometimes it's their own discomfort with your choices. Sometimes it's genuine care expressed in the wrong way.
One of our patients, Lauren, read The Diet Trap Solution by Judith Beck and had a breakthrough. She started identifying the food pusher situations in her own life and created strategies to handle them. Lauren's approach shows what we tell all our patients: awareness is the first step, but having a plan is what actually works.

What food pusher situation do you deal with most?

Thanksgiving is coming—and a little preparation goes a long way.
Food-centered holidays can be challenging when you're working on weight loss. The difference between success and struggle is approaching the day with sustainable strategies instead of an all-or-nothing mindset.
This checklist gives you five practical ways to enjoy Thanksgiving while staying on track—from using smaller plates to building in a family walk to choosing your dessert wisely.
These are realistic strategies that let you participate fully in the holiday while protecting the progress you've worked so hard to achieve.
And here's the best part: these same strategies work for weddings, birthdays, Christmas parties, and any other food-centered celebration. Learning to navigate Thanksgiving successfully gives you a framework for handling other special occasions that comes your way.
Which of these strategies will you use on Thursday?

What separates people who keep weight off from those who don't? Researchers studied Weight Watchers participants who maintained their weight loss for over a year to find out.
The results might surprise you - it wasn't about perfection, extreme willpower, or never struggling. It was about consistent habits and how they handled setbacks.
Here's what successful maintainers actually did:
Environment & Planning:
• Kept low-calorie foods visible and accessible
• Set daily calorie goals
• Tracked their intake using an app
• Measured their food portions
Mindset & Recovery:
• Were willing to work through cravings instead of immediately giving in
• When they regained weight, they reminded themselves of past successes
• When they got off track, they practiced self-encouragement rather than self-criticism
The difference between long-term success and giving up isn't whether you struggle - it's how you respond when you do. Self-compassion and consistent habits beat motivation every time.
Which of these strategies do you already use?

Thanksgiving is coming up but that doesn't mean you have to abandon your health goals - it just means making intentional choices.
The difference between a 1,735-calorie meal and a 636-calorie meal isn't giving up Thanksgiving altogether. It's about how you prepare your favorites and watching your portions.
Small swaps make a huge difference:
• Roasted sweet potatoes instead of sweet potato casserole with marshmallows (saves 280 calories)
• Sautéed green beans instead of green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup (saves 156 calories)
• Turkey breast instead of ham (saves 47 calories and reduces sodium)
• A baked apple instead of pecan pie with whipped cream (saves 480 calories!)
• Choosing your cocktail wisely can save 136 calories
You're still eating all the traditional Thanksgiving flavors - sweet potatoes, green beans, protein, dessert, and even a cocktail. The difference is in the preparation, not the deprivation.
Understanding that the cream of mushroom soup, marshmallows, pie crust, and whipped cream add hundreds of calories without adding much satisfaction helps you make better choices.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving meal. Just be strategic about where those calories come from.
What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Are you team traditional or team lighter version?
