Besides, candy is available all year long, right? Not just today. There’s no need to overeat it today. You can have it anytime you want it. There is no shortage. View candy and any treats through an abundance lens, instead of one of scarcity.
All foods should be part of healthy lifestyle. Heck, if you want to enjoy some candy – a piece or two, or even 5, it won’t kill you. Do so without any guilt or the need to make up for it in the gym tomorrow.
Choose the candy that you love, eat it, and move on. The only treats and things that you should not eat are the ones
that you don’t love.
Savor each and every bite. Mm mm good. What’s your favorite treat? Mine are Reese Cups. Whatever your favorite treat is, please do yourself a huge favor and have it. You are not bad for eating candy, nor good for eating salad. Food is Food, and it has no moral value.
Lastly, if you have been banning your favorite foods or treats for some time now, I know it can be scary to re-introduce because fear of going overboard. The key is exposure and moderation. A few times a week, start to have said treat, a small amount. Start incorporating it in to take the edge off. This also teaches us that we can have said food anytime because it’s always available and not just on holidays.
My free gift for you - is my 10 Simple Hacks To Avoid Holiday Weight Gain. This guide is not pushing diets or banning of foods, or using exercise for punishment. I'm sharing the tools that I use to keep my fitness and nutrition in check throughout the holidays.
I've done the black/white approach and the all or
nothing through various holidays and it's just not sustainable. I was also tired of the never ending diet cycle that started every January 1st. So, with that being said - You can eat and enjoy cakes and cookies too, while keeping your waistline and sanity in check. Grab it here! Please, let me know if the link doesn't work for
you.
Thank you for taking the time to read, have a wonderful day, and a great week!
Yours in Strength,
