Tips for keeping trim over Christmas

I try to just eat fruit for my lunch then I don't feel so bad if I indulge..

Don't forget, there is a lot of goodness in Xmas cake. So if you have a big piece, cut down on your usual meal.

TBH it's Xmas fairs that are my undoing. Been to two in a row (Saturdays) so far, and another one coming up this Saturday. Oh! but those old dears can bake! (and are not too lazy to do it - like me)

Limit Christmas indulgence to Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Any unopened boxes of chocolates, biscuits, cakes etc take to the local homeless charity. Any opened ones feed to the chickens/grandchildren/birds or bin.

I go down the 'little and good' avenue. Quality over quantity - it might seem a tad expensive initially but I'd rather have one box of really high end chocolates and take my time over them than a lot of cheap filling stuff.

Same goes for wine too....I've gone on to Organic wine as I think the fewer sulphides are better for me....so its more expensive and I honestly don't feel the need to guzzle several glasses at a time now.

Any 'lower quality' gifts I get remain unopened and find their way to charity raffles etc....I find if I loose them in the back of the cupboard I forget they are there (its a recent thing....must be getting a bit gaga) in the past things would yell at me from the back of the cupboard.

And lay off the booze! (Or at least, don't drink too much of it...

keep off the sweets, cakes, pies, avoid chocolates, cream and cheese. Yes, though so, it'd take a lot of the joy out of the season, wouldn't it.
Walk, keep active and once we're in mid Jan, get a grip and revert to eating less indulgently

Don't worry!

Don't eat
