Great before and after topic. Weight maintenance is really a sizzling topic among us during holidays, regarding the fact that there are lots of tempting foods to chew upon. But here’s the most important part, during the holidays the best way to help you maintain your weight is to DRINK WATER. Often, we mistake thirst for hunger, so the next time you feel like chowing down, have a glass of water instead. Drinking water will not only help you feel full, but it also adds volume and weight to your meal. Experts and doctor say; “Water helps you eliminate toxins and chemical reactions in your body. It also helps your body deliver the right amount of nutrients, antibodies, hormones and oxygen through your blood streams. Helping your body regulate all mechanisms, and everything that dissolves and circulates.”

So start your day right. Drink lots of water. Have fun, exercise by walking while shopping, dancing with friends. Or simply having a fitness session in the convenience of your home. But don’t forgot, whenever your thirsty – Drink up!

I think it’s nice to think you won’t gain too much weight but the reality is all those baked goods, egg nog, and family gatherings are sure to make you nibble on a little more than usual ;)…guess the only way is exercise like you suggested.

Excellent advice, Pearl. I’d add to it that studies are showing that women who get adequate amounts of sleep are better able to maintain their weight. It’s hard during the frenzy of the holidays to get all the sleep we need, but it’s good to keep in mind! Thanks for the tips.

hey betshopboy: too many problems are blamed on emotional state of mind these days and obesity is one of them… its ridiculous I think!

There are some people who gorge themselves silly when they are in an emotional turmoil.

I like point #5: Less = More!

I think it’s important not forget ourselves and over indulge.

I’m lucky that I never linked my emotional state of mind with opening the refrigerator door. It is true that I don’t exercise either, but my friends are happy that “they have more of me” to enjoy ;) (I’ve just shifted to a bigger size of clothes since I work from home). I hope the holidays will bring me more exercise, as I intend to go to some mountains and maybe learn skiing.

Good idea to think about preventative methods for “before” and “during” the holidays to avoid weight gain rather than “after.” I have an idea for it too. You know how they have that stomach-stapling procedure for people who are morbidly obese? Well, my procedure would prevent that. It simply involves sewing the lips shut a couple days before the holidays. LOL. Seriously, you had some wonderful tips. Nice post.
