During family, friends and office food gatherings, temptations are everywhere! From stuffing to pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving to eggnog, chocolate and cookies at Christmas, and hor d’oeuvres and champagne for New Years’ Eve, holiday temptations are endless. “Food pushers” can range from well-intentioned loved ones to total diet destroyers. Regardless of their intentions, it’s important to stick to YOUR intentions! Sometimes our food pushers may feel offended and say things like, “I made this especially for you.” or “It’s my specialty dish and I only make it once a year!” or “You only live once, go ahead!” Sometimes saying “No thanks” or “I’m not hungry” just doesn’t work, so let’s all have some strategies in our back pocket to survive the holiday eating.
