Stick With It (Even Though its Christmas)
Posted December 5, 2007 - 11:15 by Sarah Winfrey
"I know I've been eating so well and losing weight, but it's a holiday party and those desserts look excellent...it's just this once." "I said I wouldn't spend money on myself this Christmas, but these are such good sales. Just this once, I'll buy myself a present." So many of us find ourselves making statements like this to ourselves during the holiday season. We know our goals, and we're usually faithful to them, but we give ourselves special leeway over the holidays. Unfortunately, these decisions can come back to haunt us later. Not having our usual structure undermines our ability to stick with good habits. But we can develop new routines to counteract that. These will help us survive the holidays without damaging our goals.
