1. Don't forget that Christmas won't spoil your year-round efforts for a healthy lifestyle and body shaping. Don't forget it, and believe it.
2. Don't compare yourself with anyone. For someone food is just an insignificant source of energy, for others a full-fledged part of holiday rituals. Someone resists it without any problems, for someone it would be suffering reducing holiday well-being.
3. Look forward to something other than just food. If everything revolves around what is on the table in your household during Christmas, change it. Plan activities that bring you joy or meetings you can look forward to.
START A CHALLENGE DURING THE HOLIDAYS
4. Exercise. Firstly, the knowledge of burned calories will calm you down, besides it is an excellent method of producing happiness hormones. And those are an antidote to anxiety and other unpleasant negative feelings.
5. Don't punish yourself. Too heavy dinner is not an indication for denying yourself breakfast or other courses. Such an approach creates a high risk of a vicious circle denying food-hunger-even greater hunger-overeating-denying food.
6. Eat rather quality than quantity. Healthy meals supply the body with nutrients it needs, thus it will signal hunger less often and when your stomach is really empty.
