Here Come the Holidays... Don't Blow Your Tires!

It's already holiday season, and we all know what that means... We just finished Halloween, so all of the left over candies are on sale in the stores- very tempting! And, it's time for all of the family gatherings and great food! You know those meals where you're eating all kinds of foods that aren't part of your diet plan. And then you go back for seconds, and then your aunt is pushing you to try her "famous dessert," and you can't say no... Keeping with the car analogy from a previous post, we'll call this "Blowing a Tire."
What happens when you're driving your car and you blow a tire? Do you just keep going until you blow another, and another, until all of your tires are blown? Probably not (at least I hope not!) You stop, and it's not the end of the world. The situation is manageable. You change the tire (or call someone to help), and you get back on the road!
"Blown tires" happen- it's part of life. They may blow a little more frequently around the holiday season, but it's not the end of the world! Tomorrow's a new day, and an opportunity to get back on the road headed towards your destination- a healthy and fit body. One blown tire is minimal damage compared to blowing all 4 tires! You can always recover from either scenario. The most important step is to realize that all is not lost and to get back on the road!
