Don't skip meals. Its harder to resist temptations when you allow yourself to get to hungry. Eat on schedule, enjoy three meals and two snacks (100 to 150 calories) each day.
Drink lots of water. Mild dehydration mimics the sensation of hunger. Drink a large glass prior to each meal to help fill you up before you eat.
Eat plenty of "Unlimited Foods" (see list below) throughout the day. Snacking on these foods will also keep you from feeling deprived while saving calories for a party that night.
Make sure you exercise at least 30 minutes fives days per week. Exercise goes hand-in-hand with calorie control - plus it's a great stress reliever.
Enjoy your favorite holiday treats. Denying yourself is bound to backfire. Just eat these goodies only on the holiday itself. Get right back on track the next day. And no picking at leftovers!
Go easy on the alcohol. Stick with one glass of wine or champagne, or a bottle of light beer.
Unlimited Foods - These have few or no calories.
