It's about enjoyment, not guilt!

Ahhh, the holiday season is upon us.   What’s the thing I look forward to the most during the holidays… FOOD!   All the yummy delicious food!   Turkey, ham, sweet taters, green bean casserole pies & cookies galore!   Ugh… it wreaks havoc on everyone’s healthy eating plan – especially mine!   I’d be willing to bet that most people, whether dieting or not, go hog wild from Thanksgiving through New Years with the over eating. 80% of the time I’m really trying to to the right thing, eat the right things and 20% of the time I have a little wiggle room to falter and “enjoy” my food – it allows me to keep my “stick with it” mentality.   I’m gonna call this my 20% rule… so I don’t go nuts during the holidays, so I can relax & enjoy without worry.   Of course that means the other 80% I’ll have to really focus on eating healthy and perhaps find some new low fat recipes or meal ideas which is ok with me cause I LOVE LOVE LOVE new recipes!   I’m addicted to the FoodNetwork © Channel!!! Ooo
