It's the most wonderful time of the year

The holiday season is a happy time, but it can also play a toll on the way you eat. Family gatherings bring lots of food and desserts to the forefront and it is important to know when to stop indulging. 

It is this time of year where you can learn self-control and teach yourself to hold back on everything that is put in front of you. I personally believe the holiday season is a great time to help transition into the new year and bring about a new way food is looked at. 

At meal times look at what is being offered and decide what you want to eat and what you would be eating just because it is there. Remember, do not go overboard on the things you do want to eat. During this season, it is all about portion control and curbing your urge to overeat.  

Just remember, there are always left-overs so whatever you don't eat at one meal you can always eat at another! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
