As you prepare for a healthy holiday season keep in mind that you are in control. Well-meaning family members, co-workers, spouses and children are not in control of what you eat or what you do. Avoid obligatory eating, you know, eating because someone made it for you, gave it to you; you paid a lot for it, it was free, or it was on your plate. If you can’t say no, then ask to take a small portion home. You will want to consider potential trouble spots ahead of time so you’re prepared and set for smooth sailing.
