How to avoid holiday weight gain – 5 tips to keep you on track if you want to be
Sometimes Thanksgiving and Christmas are a little too close for me. Especially with New Years Eve being right after. I walk into Thanksgiving, party through my birthday (Christmas season baby in the house!), enjoy Christmas, and then roll my stuffed behind out of New Years Eve. People say it’s the renewal of the first of the year that inspire people to make weight loss resolutions. I think it’s the super stuffed feeling and “shocking” weight gain we become aware of when we finally step on the scale after spending months turning a blind eye.

Struggle to lose weight: Why does our willpower suck?
If you’ve found yourself on this post, I’m sure we’ve got similar stories when it comes to the struggle to lose weight. We’ve been on several diets and have tried “everything” to lose weight. But can’t seem to stick to anything long enough to finally achieve our desired weight. We have joined gyms, meal prepped, actually went to the gym, ate our prepped meals, and started off doing alright. We’ve maybe even lost some weight and can tell we’re slimming down some.
