Episode # 15 in the Motivation Assist Podcast series is on How to keep your weight off this Christmas
There is no doubt that Christmas can be a stressful time of year and “guilt & perfectionism” plays an important role in adding to the stress.
Do you know that feeling of relief when Christmas dinner is over? Do you ever take the time to take a step back and examine the sequence of events leading up to the day and ask yourself, "How did I do this?"
At Christmas we recommend lowering your expectations of yourself. Don't fill in your feelings. We know from previous experience that holding on to emotions is an important trigger for comfortable eating.

We don't expect every day to be filled … watch out for perfectionism … but it will help you stay focused.
Anyone reading this likely has the same goal in mind, which is to keep your weight off over the Christmas and New Years break.
The Christmas activity planner will help you factor in the positive habits that can make a big difference. Two of them are:
1. Can you drink at least 6-8 glasses of water every day?
2. Can you sleep 7-8 hours every day?
If you do these two you fly with them and the rest is up to you to build.
