I’m stuffed!

This is what millions of people said after their Thanksgiving dinner. Why do we always do this to ourselves? We try not to each all day in anticipation for a large dinner, eat until we’re stuffed, and then complain about the extra pounds. And then… we do it all over again for Christmas and New Year’s!

Are we insane? No, not really. It’s tradition. Eat, drink, and be merry--- with family and friends.

But what can you do to not gain so much extra weight? The NY Times article “Keeping a Winter’s Worth of Temptation at Bay” is great—it gives you great tips on what to eat, what not to eat, etc. Above all, don’t neglect your exercise! Go out for a brisk walk, run errands, be active.

And… watch those calories.
