And while it&#8217;s OK to indulge in your favorite comfort foods occasionally, it&#8217;s essential to ensure that you&#8217;re also making healthy choices. After all, the last thing you want is to undo all of your hard work simply because a plate of cookies tempted you. By making sure to go for healthy options, you can help yourself stay on track without feeling deprived. There are plenty of delicious and nutritious foods to choose from, so there&#8217;s no need to fill up empty calories. Remember to make wise choices the next time you&#8217;re at a gathering; it will be easy to keep track of your weight.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-_Portion_Control_Dont_go_overboard\"><\/span>3- Portion Control: Don\u2019t go overboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most of us have been there before: we start with the best intentions, vowing to eat healthily and watch our portion sizes. But then we get busy or stressed, or we lose motivation. Before we know it, we&#8217;re eating half a dozen cookies instead of the one or two we originally planned. But here&#8217;s the thing: it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way. By being mindful of our portion sizes and making thoughtful choices about the foods we eat, we can enjoy and indulge in the occasional treat without throwing our healthy eating habits out the window. So next time you feel tempted to go overboard, remember that moderation is key. A few extra cookies never hurt anyone, but a whole box might leave you feeling (and looking) a little bit worse for wear.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-_Get_moving_Incorporate_physical_activity_into_your_holiday_plans_to_help_offset_any_extra_calories_you_may_be_consuming\"><\/span>4- Get moving!
