No Regrets: 5 Ways To Embrace Your Holiday Weight Gain

If you hate being surrounded by cakes, cookies, candy canes, cocktails and any other sugar-laden indulgences, you may not be a huge fan of of another “c” word: Christmas. It’s a time for joy and merriment, but it’s also a time when sweets seem to be shoved in your face whether you like it or not. Buzz60 has some ways to embrace the inevitable holiday weight gain. Here are 5 easy rules to enforce this season.

Forgive the gluttony

December is only one month of the year! Do you really want to forgo that holiday mimosa party for a day at spin class? We didn’t think so.

Take advantage of ‘limited edition’ foods 

Gingerbread lattes, gingerbread houses and gingerbread scones won’t be around in January. Get ’em while you can (and enjoy them!).

Prepare your wardrobe

Instead of buying stretchy pants and another pair of comfy “joggers,” buy a dress in a larger size. You’ll feel better about your body (hell, you may even be able to fill out that dress more easily!) instead of feeling like a total lump of lard.

Skip the salad

Don’t be that person who orders a salad with the croutons and vinaigrette on the side. For one month out of the year, go for the red velvet cupcake.

Skip the gym

But only if you want to. Yes, getting a workout in can definitely make you feel better about your nutritional choices, but if you workout now, what will you do in the New Year?
