Final little ‘hack’ that could help you enjoy Christmas even more this year.

Enjoy what you do, your eating and drinking just the same.

But enjoy it in a way that doesn’t lead to a net loss overall.

Another super simple one.

Always use a plate.

Whatever you eat over the coming weeks (and, maybe, ongoing) just eat it off a plate.

Or bowl, of course.

I don’t expect you to put soup on a plate!

You want some Hagan Daz?

Pop a portion in a bowl rather than taking the whole tub to the sofa.

You fancy a Quality Street (other chocolate options are available)?

Unwrap a few and pop them on a plate.

Breadstick / sandwich / bit of fruit?

On a plate.

You want more after, then go for it (maybe after waiting 20 minutes)?

Get some more on the plate / bowl.

Chances are we’ll end up having less on average.

Maybe not every time, but overall.

We can always do that.

And it takes seconds.

Again, give it a go.

Give any / all of the tactics of the last 6 days a go:

1. Recognise that you’re self soothing, not self sabotaging.

2. Practice making those different decisions / doing the thing you struggle with outside of that ‘uncontrolled environment’ of real life.

3. Wait 20 minutes before you make your food / drink choice.

4. Keep your hunger between a 4 and a 7.

5. “Close the kitchen”.

6. Have it on a plate / in a bowl.

And, most of all, do any / all of them in a way that leads you to enjoying Christmas more overall, not less.
