Heather Sokol is the frugal mother of 3 girls. She has lost 30 pounds in the last year and blogs about her weight loss journey at Just Heather.
Cookies. Candies. Pie.
It’s a trifecta of holiday goodness. And, a whole lot of carbs to derail a year of healthy habits. It’s all about striking a balance between maintaining my weight loss and taking part in the festivities.
Family gatherings take place in the kitchen and celebrations revolve around food. Dessert is as much a part of the holiday traditions as Santa and stockings. So, what’s a carb loving girl to do when she goes home for the holidays?
This girl enjoys the carbs. In moderation.
Over the last year, I have allowed myself to indulge in birthday cake, holiday desserts and my favorite candies – one at a time. There’s a fine line between enjoying a few Christmas cookies and eating a dozen.
I just have to find it – and stay on the side of healthy balance.
