Top Tips for Handling the Holidays Without Stress Eating & Overeating

You CAN Handle the Holidays!   Did you know the average American gains 8 lbs over the holidays?  The "holidays" are only 2 months!  And the vast majority don't lose it.  This does NOT have to be you!   The holiday season seems to take all our normal stressors and amplify them.  All the difficult emotions and situations that we emotionally eat because of now, seem bigger during this holiday season.  Finances, relationships, loss, our weight, our health, and add to that all the expectations we put on ourselves and that others put on us!  Then put an ever-ready supply of "not so healthy" food choices at our fingertips and it's no wonder we turn to eating.  The insidious thing about emotional eating, stress eating and overeating is that we usually don't even realize we're doing it  until we're ALREADY doing it!   In the link below you'll see that I've made a Healthy Holidays Masterclass for you this year.  Your guide to handling the holidays successfully WITHOUT the extra eating and extra stress.  I took some of the tips from that guide and shared them in this episode. Some are very practical - like tips for how to not overeat at events, and some are more mindset based - like how to handle Uncle Joe and his rude comments.     The biggest takeaway from this episode is that YOU have the power to decide how you want to feel. ALWAYS.  You have to decide ahead of time how you want the holiday season to go, how you want to feel each day, at each event, after each event, with each person, about each situation.  My goal for you is that you've learned to handle yourself during the holidays SO WELL that come January 1st the thought of going on some crazy New Years Resolution diet will be laughable to you!   XOXO Tara   PS.
