The Bride’s Guide to Holiday Eating: 10 Get-Thin Tips

By Diann Daniel on November 18, 2009 · 3 Comments 

9. Help someone. Women on a mission to lose weight can become consumed with thoughts of their diet, their bodies, and all the issues surrounding those things. Add an upcoming wedding to the mix and you’ve got a great recipe for self-obsession. Bust out of that mindset by doing something for someone else, recommends Avanti. Go talk to your family and friends and be truly interested in what’s going on in their lives. Draw out a shy person with getting-to-know you questions or make it your mission to introduce folks to each other.

10. Remember why you’re there. Sure holiday parties offer delectable dishes, but they are also about connecting with others. Focus on your friends, and the food will be relegated to its rightful place.

Your Holiday Wedding Diet Checklist

  • Today I made each meal a meditation.
  • Today I helped someone.

    There is a common misconception in the third month. They say you may gain weight from building muscle, but you also have to monitor how much you eat. The more calories you burn in a day, the more your body wants calories put back into it. So, even though you’re doing cardio, you may cancel out its effects by eating more. Just thought I’d share that to help everyone along the way.
