Adjust expectations, avoid radicalism, and accept that schedules will have to adjust. Falling off the cart doesn’t have to happen, and keeping in touch with the overall goal will be important. Don’t try to eliminate your favorite foods. Instead, regulate them to a much smaller amount or, pick a few favorites. When trying to eliminate everything, especially when so many other friends, family, and coworkers are enjoy- ing them can be a huge drain on willpower. Plus, explaining to grandma why you aren’t eating her pie is never an easy task. Just show up. With holiday travel, family being around, or expectations of time away from the gym can be overbearing. A simple tip can be to just do something. Any workout, no matter how brief, is better than no workout. A walk before family is up is great, not only for a light workout, but can also provide a moment of solitude and mental respite from family time. Keep your intentions pure. Stay in touch with why you choose to eat well and exercise the other 11 months out of the year. Likely it is because of the good feeling, the energy, and the general wellness it provides. Not to say that enjoying a gluttonous family gathering doesn’t provide some good feelings, but this often leads to shame and resentment in later weeks. A strong connection to long-term goals — and a dose of self-compassion — will lead to better motivation to stick with it for the long haul. The holidays don’t have to unravel all the progress we have made in changing our habits and continuing a healthy lifestyle. Willpower won’t be anyone’s savior. Just acknowledge that it’s OK to indulge, use spare time for short workouts, and mixing awareness with self-compassion are tools one can employ to beat the willpower trap and continue to thrive through the holiday season.
