Now that Thanksgiving is over, more holidays are approaching. So you made it through the last month doing OK on your diet and eating healthy. Then it may be easier for you to continue down that path since you have had victory.

But for some maybe you did not do so well and are not doing so well. The best thing to do here is to set a realistic date as to when you will start back up. You may want to start before Christmas or not, that is up to you. The key here is making sure you start at the point in which you say you will. It can be a huge motivating factor to start a dietary program when you say you will.

What can be less motivating is always saying you will and never doing it. The good thing is that once the holidays are over they will be over for while. You can really get a huge jumpstart on your program and fly into the next fall holiday season rock solid and not wavering a bit. So have fun, be careful not to overeat anything, and start at a date that you will actually start.
