Holidays. Stuff your face.

Holidays.  Stuff your face.  It is the only thing that holidays seem to be good for these days, right?  Maybe so, but not entirely!!  Holidays present the ultimate temptation for the world's dieting woes.  Extra stuffing, anyone? Sure and while your stuff the turkey, I'll stuff my face like no one is watching!

But alas, wait a minute - someone is watching - it's called your food conscious.  It is the inner part of humans that signals when they are overeating but chooses to ignore the signs for just one more lick of food bliss.  The food conscious appears to the horror of most dieters presenting the thought "I'm already full but it tastes so good, why not just finish it off?" Well, there are a lot of reasons not to finish it off especially if you don't want to stuff your body into jeans like the stuffing is put into a turkey on Thanksgiving.

So lay off the stuffing, and give this a try. Use holiday meals as a challenge.  A challenge to yourself to help aid in defining your diet.  How you may ask?  Well, make clear guidelines for yourself such as plan to only eat one plate of food instead of 3.  Or, perhaps, listen more closely to your food conscious when it says "Warning! Stuffing alert! Step away from the turkey!" as a signal that you've had too much.

Holidays. Stuff the turkey, not your face...
